After reading other reviews, I already expected Magdalena to be a great host, but she turned out to be better than expected! She was a wonderful person and a great person to stay with. She didn't speak much English, but communication wasn't a probelm with the help of my few years of spanish and google translate. The room was nice and cozy and wasn't too hot in the summer. The shared bath was clean and the breakfast was good (assortment of toast, fresh fruit, and tea/coffee). I was in town for a research conference and she was very close to the venue and popular parts of town. There were a number of bus stops within 5 minutes of walking and a metro station about 7-10 minutes away. Her two dogs were very friendly and the building had good security. Overall, this is a great place to stay if you're looking for somewhere to call home for a few days while you explore the city. The beds are all singles so if you have a partner you won't be able to share a bed, but that wasn't an issue for me. I definitely recommend staying here! Magdalena is the most wonderful airbnb hosts/grandma I've met!
