As soon as you know the dates of your visit to Buenos Aires, it's a good idea to write to somene who regularly hosts tango visitors. Their rooms and apartments are convenient to the milongas and transportation. Hosts can provide you with information about classes and milongas.
CASA TANGO This is the house of Nora Leda Portela (a tanguera). She and David Strycharski have managed this large house with six bedrooms, two kitchens and two bathrooms for tango dancers for over four years. It is located on Independencia 2277, close to several milongas and convenient to many others in the Congreso area. Nora and David speak English. This is the house I recommend to everyone coming to Buenos Aires for the first time; many stay there for subsequent visits because they like the house so much. You can view photos of the house at www.casatango.com.ar A single room is $150/week; double $200. Write them at [email protected] Telephone: 4941-6670 Deposit required for reservation.
