Palermo is your best bet, specifically the Palermo Soho or Palermo Hollywood pockets, both a manageable walk or short bus ride from the museum.

Palermo is your best bet, specifically the Palermo Soho or Palermo Hollywood pockets, both a manageable walk or short bus ride from the museum. These areas are packed with budget-friendly guesthouses and social hostel common areas, plus the kind of late-night parrillas and bars that make solo travelers easy to meet people. Streets feel safe to walk after dark compared to some other Buenos Aires neighborhoods, and there's a steady flow of other travelers, so you won't feel isolated. Recoleta, just to the southeast, is another solid option, quieter and a bit more upscale, but still walkable to MALBA and close to the cemetery and its surrounding cafes. Avoid staying too far south or west unless you're comfortable with longer taxi or subte rides back late at night. Whichever you pick, prioritize proximity to a Subte line (D line serves this area reasonably well) so you're not dependent on taxis for every museum visit or nightlife excursion.
