This is the perfect home away from home if you want to mingle with a few travellers but not stay in a noisy, crowded hostel. The house (and its host!) has a friendly, easygoing vibe, and there are nice outdoor areas and a lounge room where people eat and watch TV.

I liked the privacy of the single room as I had to work a lot on my laptop during my week in BA, but then I could relax and chat to the other guests in the evenings. It's also a short walk to cafes, supermarkets, laundromat, subway and buses, and a cleaner comes in twice a week.

Ignacio was so helpful, he even took my dirty laundry to the laundromat in the pouring rain AND he crossed the city to return something I had left behind. I don't want to guarantee these five-star services to everybody... but it's an example of how far he goes to help.
