I am an OB-GYN doctor from Peru and attended a medical conference at the downtown Convention Center. Arrangements for this had been made at the last moment and there were only very expensive options for lodging near the Convention Center. Magdiel's place is only an 8 minute walk from the #10 MetroBus stop at Red River & E 32nd. A day pass valid on all MetroBuses for 24 hours can be purchased for only $2.50 when boarding the bus. We took the #10 bus downtown to Republic Square where connections can be made with a myriad of other buses. We also took the #10 bus north to 48th St. to a huge H.E.B. supermarket where we purchased food for our stay. The kitchen has a Keurig coffee maker with many different flavors of coffee. All the appliances work well. The Internet is excellent. Make sure you have the password from Magdiel's Airbnb e-mail since it is not displayed anywhere in the room. The shower has a dispenser for soap, shampoo, and conditioner which is convenient. The last day we took the #10 bus downtown for a few hours and then the #20 bus to the airport, all for only $2.50 each with a day pass. Magdiel's place is very reasonably priced compared to downtown lodging and it is in a quiet, serene neighborhood. It is older and basic but quite suitable for up to a couple in the bedroom and an adult or child sleeping in the living room.
