Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 23:47:19 -0300 From: Janis Kenyon <jantango @FEEDBACK.NET.AR> Subject: SA: Lodging in Buenos Aires Manuel Patino wrote: I'm very interested in making arrangements for our stay in Bs As and I would really appreciate information about lodging in March of 2000. I appreciate the posting of relevant information about these resources but I find it frustrating to hear all the glowing reports but not a word from David or Nora. I'm begining to think that ones needs an intermediary to deal with them. I replied privately to Manuel that Nora Leda Tortella was having difficulties with her email account. This is not unusual in Buenos Aires. It is often difficult to get on-line at all on weekends. Also at times the server cannot send or receive email. I asked him to be patient. If there is anyone else trying to contact Nora about rooms for next year, I just want you to know that she will be taking a holiday in Europe from December 10 until January 31, 2000. You should write her immediately if you are interested in booking a room in her house for next year. Send an email to both her accounts to be certain she receives your message: noraleda @hotmail.com and noraleda @topmail.com.ar If you want to see photos of the rooms, visit www.casatango.com.ar The house has six bedrooms of different sizes, two full bathrooms, and two kitchens. Nora is most helpful to her guests. The house is located on Independencia near Pichincha and close to several milongas and a grocery store. Single is $150/week, double $200/week; one triple $300/week. I have referred many people to Nora for accommodations; everyone has always been pleased. I do not receive a commission. I just want people to have a nice place to live during their visit in Buenos Aires. Janis Kenyon
