Teresita, is friendly, energetic, and very helpful"Teresita's B&B is a truly lovely property, located in Adrogue, a picturesque and affluent suburb southwest of BA. Its hostess, Teresita, is friendly, energetic, and very helpful. She made many tourist itinerary suggestions, called upon her extensive network of friends to help with reservations, took us leatherwork shopping at a nearby factory, and even came to the rescue when one of us left her debit card in an ATM (oops). The B&B casita is very comfortable, with a terrific bathroom, and quite private. Breakfasts are tasty and healthy, if not elaborate, and take place in Teresita's large attractive kitchen where she bakes bread, makes jam, and generally directs traffic. The walk to and from the town center, where train station and direct city minivan stop are located, is short, easy, and filled with interesting houses to look at. The train ride is about 45 minutes to Constitution Station, one of BA's two main stations; and the minivans take about an hour to and from Teatro Colon, near the Obelisk. Both forms of transportation are very inexpensive. A taxi ride will cost about 50 argentine pesos/$15 U.S. - this is necessary after 12:30 am. For a week's stay, we found that this B&B cost about half of what comparable city B&B's seemed to be charging - so we decided that we did not mind joining the locals in their morning commute! But if you are consistently a late-nighter, or averse to mass transportation, the taxi costs might negate the lodging savings. Anyhow, we were both very happy to have selected Teresita's B&B as our "honeymoon hotel" and highly recommend it to other travelers. |
