Excellent location in Bella Vista. Accessible from two metro stations - Via Argentina and Isla Del Carmen, about 18 minutes walk from either. It's in a very safe area. The bus stop to Allbrook is an easy 10 minute walk. There are several other bus stops in the vicinity. The hostel is easily identifiable and Uber is easily available when called. The room was comfortable (4 bed dorm), it was clean, there was AC at night. The kitchen and fridge are useful, breakfast though very meagre in quantity is still better than no breakfast.
