Guestbook: 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 I've been bribed, hypnotized, or I've 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. |
