AUGUST 11, 2009 / DESTINATION BUENOS AIRES AND COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO

Hi Carlos
I just wanted to send you a quick thank you note. We are safely back home and had a wonderful time in Argentina. Thanks for the arrangements. Every single thing went smooth and on time. We were also very happy with the recommendation to the Axel Hotel. Staff were amazing and so was the facilities. The Tango Rojo show was great and the Day trip to Colonia unforgettable.
We would like to go back in summer sometime and will stay in contact for you to make our arrangements again. So from both Charl and myself, a Big Thank You.
Take care. Rob

MAY 07, 2009 / DESTINATION BUENOS AIRES AND THE BEST APARTMENT

Hi Carlos,
Had a great stay at your apartment. Unfortunately, our plane from Santiago was a little late so your dad had to wait around for us which we apologized for. Everything worked as should and building staff are very nice and helpful. Two suggestions to make stay more pleasant: the shower/bath grout really needs a good cleaning/bleaching or even replacing as there is a lot of mold; a second set of keys would make it more convenient for guests, as we weren't always together and had to juggle schedule to be there to let one or the other in. Good location, nice space, convenient and most importantly for me in a big city - quiet! I will recommend to others I know visiting. Brian.
FYI. As for today all comments were taken into consideration and all details fixed and solved.

CAMERON WATT / SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA <<

APRIL 28, 2009 / DESTINATION BUENOS AIRES

For my first visit to Buenos Aires I was put in touch with Carlos Melia by one of my publishing colleagues. Carlos helped me find a great apartment, offering a variety of fantastic properties in a range of BA’s most desirable neighbourhoods. The one I finally decided on was perfectly located between the exciting downtown neighbourhoods and the uber-trendy Palermo districts. It was equipped with everything I could have needed and more.
During my time in BA Carlos made sure I experienced some very exclusive restaurants and nightspots, places I would not have discovered myself if I hadn't known. He also hosted a walking tour which was a lot of fun, starting in San Telmo at 10am and finishing in Palermo many hours later after a lot of pavement-pounding and many laughs along the way.
I’d highly recommend using Carlos' services for your visit to Buenos Aires (and greater Argentina), whether a first time visitor or returning for more.
I’m looking forward to going back later this year to see the south of Argentina and to attend the Creamfields Festival, all coordinated by Carlos of course!

APRIL 02, 2009 / DESTINATION BUENOS AIRES

Hi Carlos, First up, Cameron says thank you for looking after him so well. I hope you guys can meet up. The comp list is the editor’s list of people who get a free copy of the magazine every month. I wanted to include you because you’ve been so helpful and because over the coming months we are going to be doing interviews with various Mr Gays from around the world and we’ll probably need more help from you! And because you are a nice person!
I understand the glaciers are melting quite fast, is that the case? Should we see them before they disappear? Yes, we’d love to have some travel stories from you. Cameron is doing Buenos Aires, I have some other people doing Santiago sp if I get you to do a South American destination that would be excellent. I’m open to the suggestion Uruguay. Can you tell me more?
I hope you are well. Lots of love, Cheers, ( Editor / DNA Magazine )

DENE MADDOCK / SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA <<

APRIL 02, 2009 / DESTINATION BUENOS AIRES

Carlos. Thanks for your email. All back in Australia now and getting back to normal. The trip was fabulous - loved Buenos Aires. Thank you for all of your assistance - all of the arrangements you made for us were great. Everything went without a hitch - The guys at the apartment and the apartment itself was wonderful. Would be happy to recommend them and yourself. It was a pity we did not get to meet you in person. I have been reading the latest Australian DNA Magazine and there is a long article on the Mr Gay Competition in Whistler. You were mentioned a few times - small world. Once again thank you for all of your help and best wishes for the future
Cheers. Dene

BARRY CHANT / AUSTRALIA <<

FEBRUARY 24, 2009 / DESTINATION BUENOS AIRES AND IGUAZU FALLS

Hi Carlos, here's my summary as promised. (1) Transfer from EZE to apartment - perfect 10/10. (2) Apartment - very good. The elevator was out of order 4 times, once for 2 days & we had to carry our luggage up after visiting Mendoza. You already know about the noise issue from 8D. Very good location & secure 8.5/10. Javier was EXCEPTIONAL - he gets 11/10. (3) Mendoza - the hotel (Bohemia) was very good 9/10. The "wine" trip was terrible. We only visited 2 wineries (not 3) and those 2 visits were a waste of time. 1/10. Fow lovers of wine (the reason we went to Mendoza) that trip isn't appropriate - just FYI if you have any wine lovers from Australia in the future. (4) Pto Iguazu - hotel St George was very good & great location 9/10. The tour to Argentinean side of the falls was perfect & our guide fantastic - 10/10. We didn't go to the Brazilian side because the vise cost was 500+ pesos in BsAs. (5) We were both very disappointed that we didn't meet you in BsAs. Overall we had a fantastic trip. I'd recommend you & we'll use you again when we visit next. Maybe we can meet on that trip!. Cheers. Barry

HEATHER GALFUNG / USA <<

FEBRUARY 27, 2009 / DESTINATION BUENOS AIRES AND COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO

Hi carlos. After the return of the luggage, everything was great. And despite me not having luggage, the excursions in Calafate were fantastic! We made it to Uruguay no prob. And you were right, Casa de los Limoneros was fabulous. The owners cooked dinner for everyone that night and it was a great group dinner with lots of good conversation and i got good practice for my spanish, which i needed since almost no one speaks english in Uruguay it seems. We ended up renting a car in Punta del Este. the hotel was a bit far from things and the bus was unreliable so we even drove to Jose Ignacio one day. Now we are in Montevideo and packing up since we are leaving today. I’ll write more details when i get home if you want more feedback on all the hotels, etc. thx again!

DECEMBER 01, 2009 / DESTINATION BUENOS AIRES, EL CALAFATE & IGUAZU FALLS

Carlos:
I saw this at your site: Experienced bilingual gay guides, that might not know all the historic details, but do know the city up and down.
TripOut Gay Travel calls you the "gay guru" so even though you may not know all the historic details (who really does know everything), I'm sure you'll be quite able to answer the questions we ask. Thanks. Marty
