Course: 52 weeks, 6 hours/week, private flat, July 2013
Overall
I actually attended this school for 18 months while living in Buenos Aires.  I really enjoyed the school.  I did the super intensive program (30 hours a week) for the first 5 months, and slowly tapered it back as my skills grew.  The staff was very supportive and able to tailor my one-on-one classes as well as help me when I got behind in the group classes as my fellow students were either learning their 4th or 5th language or had just completed a few years of college spanish and now wanted to crank it up a notch.  As I was coming in as a complete beginner, and a few decades out of college, I was constantly challenged in class.  What was nice was the support the staff gave me, taking a little extra time when needed, or just repeating something for the hundredth time, but slightly different in hopes that the new explanation would click better.  It worked.    They had some great out of class experiences/activities for us, good resources in the school, and the tone was relaxed but intense.  You get out of it what you put into it.  The teachers were superb!  Real dedication.  Ended my tenure there with private classes that were akin to a college level latin literature course (at my request).  To be reading, discussing, and arguing the short stories of Borges and other Argentinean authors in their native Spanish is a pleasure I will hold dear for life.

Pros
Thorough, supportive, flexible.
Cons
Like any school, your classmates can make or break your group classes.  When they are advanced beyond you, you do feel frustrated.  Just speak up and the teacher will adjust for you or give you a little extra attention.  Worst case, they will move you to another class or you might want to consider one-on-one classes.
