The Experience
For 20 years I ran a guesthouse where I hosted travelers and volunteers from around the world. However, now I have moved to a small house in a residential neighborhood, where I will be happy to provide you a private room + breakfast in exchange for some of your time and help. Also, I can offer you tips and tricks to explore the city beyond what tourist brochures suggest. (Puedes escribirme en Español, si lo entiendes)

Juan is a lovely guy. Outside he seems tough but he has great heart. He is considering other people, guarding Buenos Aires. You will learn a lot of skills with Juan because he is expert in chemistry and engineering . He is also open to learn new things and try new combinations of food. The place is in very nice calm area , with nice park around where is sometimes music , and where you can exercise.

Overall had a wonderful experience. Juan is charming, intelligent, and a welcoming host. Very knowledgeable about the country and a veteran traveler/host. He is also a great cook, and I am grateful for all his insight on the things he shared with me, as well as all I learned during my stay!

It was a very good experience stay at Juan Carlos home. We talked a lot of the currently issues around the world, sociales, polítics and economics. I had the chance to see Buenos Aires of the another point of view. I recommend to people apply this adventure with Juan Carlos as a host.
