Date: 09-08-2008 Name: Cinda Lewis Country: United States of America State: Texas Comments: Thank you so much for the wonderful visit I had in Buenos Aires. Caseron Porteno was fabulous!! I have stayed in many similar places all over the world and this is now at the top of the list. No detail was overlooked from the warm welcome and complete tour upon arrival to the minute I left 15 days later in the taxi that was secured for me. The room was huge, spotless, and well appointed Comfy bed,thick towels,warm and bright. The staff was amazing from Marias breakfasts and help with all aspects of the visit to Cecilias fast and thorough cleaning and the amazing facial she gave to my gritty, wind battered face! Lucia and Daniel made an extra effort to juggle the room schedule and accomodate me for a longer visit than I iniially planned. I met wonderful people, felt safe and secure and pampered, and truly loved coming home after a long day in the city. In short, a perfect experience at an outstanding guesthouse. I rave about it to everyone. Many thanks again for a memorable visit. Cinda Lewis |

Date: 18-06-2008 Name: Nora Laudani Country: United States of America State: California Comments: Caseron Porteno is the best place to stay, whether you are interested in tango, or not. For me, it was my first time traveling alone, it was my first time in a Spanish-speaking country, it was my first exposure to tango. For people who have traveled extensively alone, maybe they forget that first time feeling a little anxious or afraid. I mention this detail because it is an important fact to note that everything about Caseron Porteno made the transition for me not only possible, but thoroughly a delight. Everyone there is Castellano speaking, and Argentinian, and regardless of where the guest is from, the staff makes every guest feel like we are all from the same world. I felt lucky from the moment their cab picked me up at the airport, and the driver, Sergio was dependable, attentive, and caring. When I was greeted at the door with a tour from Chris, I felt lucky that Chris was happy to switch in and out of Spanish as I needed. He likes to greet every guest personally, and with care. When Maria, who may very well be the heart and soul of this bed breakfast, would speak with me at subsequent delicious little breakfasts, she too would switch in and out of Spanish and English as needed. Maria would always make me feel the most at home. And Cecelia, a gifted beautician who offers in-house facial treatments, was always able to chat in the halls and exchange stories of dancing in Buenos Aires. Lucia, fluently bi lingual, was always able to juggle a number of challenges at the same time, and help find solutions to questions about tours, flights, stores, tango --pretty much anything! Coming from the opposite hemisphere, visiting a place where I know no one, these small acts of kindness would come to mean the world to me. If a visitor wants, the staff quickly becomes an extended kind of family. The safety found in the neighborhood --where there are places to shop for food or snacks, places to do laundry, even a gym nearby, and taxis, busses, and subway right there, hair salon, pharmacy, and tango lessons and milongas within walking distance-- that safety in the neighborhood is matched by the environs of Caseron Porteno, where a beautiful garden invites you, two cats greet you, and the warmest people made me feel so at home, so far away from home. I know I sound like Ive been bribed, hypnotized, or Ive lost my mind, but I dare anyone to book a room at Caseron Porteno, and then tell me how I sound....I think you will love this place. |

My 2 stays with you were very special your B. B. is a lovely home away from home. I expect that Franco is almost a young man now, instead of the cute baby I knew. Hopefully I can save enough money to visit Argentina again one day. No other country that Ive yet visited, has as many wonderful people or so many interesting places to see. I send you all a big hug kiss, especially Maria. Maggie Ford. |

Date: 21-03-2008 Name: Alice Ho and family Country: Canada State: Calgary Comments: Danny, Cinthia, Lucia, maria and Cecilia, A big thank you to all of you for making our trip so memorable. My family finally understood why I was raving so much about you guys after my previous visits. The welcome, the warmth and the friendliness were unbelievable. My son Merlin especially, he just fell in love with Caseron and is hoping to get his friends together for a visit. The BBQ and the soccer match are the highlights for him, besides the cigarettes, of course ,which is 5 times less than he pays in Canada. We all thank you for everything . Alice |

Date: 08-11-2007 Name: David & Linda Head Country: United States of America State: TN Comments: Ola Luciana, Daniel, and Cinthia, Thanks for your hospitality during our stay at Caseron Porteno!. We really liked being out in the city, instead of in the city center, while retaining ready access to all of the city through cabs, busses, and the subte. Having in-house group tango lessons with Mario Eugenie and with Maya was very convenient, and they are excellent teachers. We enjoyed the relaxed environment of Caseron Porteno, meeting the variety of guests staying with you, most there for tango, and discussing teachers, milongas, shopping, etc. Thanks also for your repeated help with shopping, restaurants, and transportation suggestions. Finally, special thanks to Maria, who keeps everything on an even keel in the kitchen and elsewhere, 247 ! Linda and I will refer others visiting BA to you, and hope to return ourselves in the future. Ciao and regards, David |

Date: 27-01-2006 Name: Anna Harmandarian Country: United States of America State: ------ Comments: What I'd like to say is a huge heartfelt thank you to everyone at Caseron Porteno. When I first made the arrangement to come to Buenos Aires, I had no idea of what to expect at a place I'd found online. My wildest expectations were surpassed. The hospitality and generosity of everyone at Caseron Porteno was amazing. I felt like I was at a home away from home and yet my privacy was respected at all times. The rooms were impeccably clean, the staff helpful,the kitchen lovely and the tango studio awesome. Mari is a treasure. I don't know. If I ever owned a bed and breakfast and wanted it to be perfect, I'd model it after Caseron Porteno and hire Mari. Amazing place and amazing people. Plus, the breakfast served was just perfect. Not much more to say. A big, big thank you to all of you, Love, Anna |

I just wanted to let you both know how much I enjoyed my stay at Caseron Porteno. I am sorry I was not able to get to know you better, but I hope you enjoyed your vacation. Mari and Belen were wonderful and extremely helpful to me. You have created a beautiful guest house which I hope to return to in the future. My lessons with Mario and Eugenia together and the private lesson I took with Mario were quite special. All my best wishes for your continued success!! Arlene Kappraff |

Date: 13-04-2005 Name: Paul Country: Canada State: Ontario Comments: Although I only stayed one night at Caseron Porteno, I really recommend it. It's quiet and restful and the house is wonderful... especially the open central courtyard. You'll definitely feel welcome. Downtown is only 10 or so minutes away from Belgrano too. Very highly recommended. |

Date: 17-03-2005 Name: Pamela Slavsky Country: United States of America State: Massachusetts Comments: It was all the way back in October that I visited your lovely establishment, but the fabulous memories are strong as ever and will last me forever, I\'m sure! You are all--Cinthia, Daniel, Mari, and adorable Franco--the best hosts that this innocent and eager tanguera could ever have wanted. You responsed to every inquiry and request with cheerful enthusiasm. I felt great relief at everyone\'s obvious concern for my comfort and safety, and I was delighted at the knowledge and resources you utilized to make sure my tango adventures were as pleasant and stress-free as possible. And to all this you add the AMAZING value of tango lessons in a beautiful studio with an array of talented and generous instructors (I confess a special fondness for Mario & Eugenia, whom I recommend to all). I haven\'t even mentioned the beautiful courtyard, the great the neighborhood with numerous nearby conveniences, the short walk to the subway, but now I\'m sounding like a paid advertisement! Simply said, Thank you ALL so much for everything. I can\'t wait to come back! --Pamela Slavsky |

Date: 13-06-2004 Name: Lou Falino Country: United States of America State: Pennsylvania Comments: 13 June 04: This time last year I was enjoying my second visit to the Caseron Porteno in a month. I was so impressed by Daniel and Cynthia\'s wonderfully warm hospitality and genuine concern for the wellbeing of their guests that I returned immdeiately after a short visit and promised myself to return again for longer periods of time. Daniel and Cynthia truly make one feel like family. Added to that one enjoys excellent instruction in tango, great cameraderie with the tango friends one meets at the Caseron and the charm of Buenos Aires itself. So how can you miss? Any time spent at the Caseron Porteno is a wonderful experience. I am hoping to return soon to continue my instruction and meet my new \"grandson\" Franco. Indeed, at the Caseron Porteno life is truly a \"milonga\". |

Date: 02-06-2004 Name: Valerie Jones Country: United States of America State: California Comments: I feel really blessed that for my first experience in Argentina, I was able to stay at Caseron Porteno. Cinthia and Daniel not only provided a beautiful, homey and comfortable environment, but were extremely helpful in assisting me with any sightseeing plans or traveling plans that I was in need of. The going away party that they arranged for a guest who had stayed with them for a couple of months was very thoughtful. I look forward to my return in a few months. I never considered staying anywhere else. |

Date: 14-05-2004 Name: Sonja Sweningson Country: Ireland State: ---- Comments: I can only agree to what has been said about this wonderful place. But what makes it so great are Cinthia, Daniel, Mari and Baby Franco. I was heartbroken leaving my "home" in Buenos Aires. Everything is just wonderful! They really make you feel part of their family! Caseron Porteno is one of a kind. If you are looking for a place to dance or not, you will have a great time. I have met some fantastic people from all over the world. Should you still not be sure of wether to go, contact me! There is simply no other place I would ever go to! Love Sonja P.S. Cinthia, Daniel, Mari, Franco and all my dancing teachers - I miss you!!! |
