Hi,

I'm going to be in Buenos Aires from April 15 through May 4, and I would be interested in renting an apartment for that period of time. If yours is available, please PM me with details.

Hello,

I just sent you PM's, by the way, you should never hesitate to include more details in your inquires, and it's easier for both (for you and for the providers) to reduce the emails exchanges.

Just a comment, Thanks and happy holidays.

I booked this apart from bytargentina (as Roxana's was not available) Since I saw mixed reviews on byt, not sure what to expect. Has anyone stayed in this apart?

Thanks

Please look at my post and the discussion about Byt last year December 2006. There have been other questionable opinions about Byt. I would not use them.

***I have had good luck with BA4U. Ask for Tomas. This time I may not be able to use them because they do not have accomodations where I wish to be. I have not ruled them out though yet.***

I am right now slated to arive March 11 and leave March 18. I think I may try to find a good Irish pub to go to for St Patty's Day. May just end up at Shoeless joes Alamo since I have been there in the past many times.

I tried to privately email you. Could not. Your mail box is full and cannot accept any more email.

I'm looking for an affordable apartment (ie under $600/ month or around that much) that has cable, internet, a small kitchen, and a nice sized bed.

I have this apartment available http://www.barts.com.ar/barts/lodgin/apartments_det.php?apartment=twin it's really nice and if you reserve it today I will include a Premier Pack (USD 299 value) at no extra charge! Yes, today I'm a little bit more crazy than normal.
As the apartment descriptive pictures are not that good, you may take a look to the genuine leather couch in the following video http://www.barts.com.ar/barts/ap/articles_detail.php?recordID=marian_video

Video has been shooted in BAEZ apartment, which it's an identic apartment in the same building, unfortunally (well, fortuanally for me) baez is not available, but Twin apartment has a similar genuine leather couch (in baez is dark-brown and in twin is black, that's the only difference, plus the frames has been built in Argentina for Twin and imported from Milan in Baez)

In short,

He expects you to believe that the world famous Swedish porn star Puma Swede (the girl in his fake twin picture ) is somehow in Argentina and is that ugly hooker mirian in his video.

For those like you and myself that know the industry, this ploy is quite laughable.

But let him run with it.

I was hoping someone could offer an opinion regarding location and street level noise. Over the years I have stayed in Palermo.

I have the chance to rent an apartment on Scalabrini Ortiz and near Sante Fe. The apartment is on the 9th floor with sound proof window or sliding doors yeah yeah yeah. I know the street is busy, but any thoughts regarding reality?

I have stayed also in Las Canitas in a beautiful unit Ortega why Gasset. Not available. I do like the area.

Also was pondering Palermo Soho / Hollywood, but still does not read right.

One last question if I may, is Billinghurst and Sante Fe also a busy lot. I know BA is the 9th largest city. Looking for a little quite when I go there. Last time I was near the elevator motor and just about drove me nuts!

I know most of your sites those who rent units, just looking for a bit of local advise. Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.I don't know about soundproofing, but I looked at an apartment on Scalabrini Ortiz about two years back, real nice place, and at the right price. But, really loud, and this was pretty well up in a high rise. So, be careful. Scalabrini Ortiz is a VERY busy, loud, colectivo infested street. I would definitely avoid, particularly at the intersection with Santa Fe. Not a pretty area either.

01-31-09, 18:43
I stayed for about 9 months in three different apartments that were 1-3 blocks from Scalabrini Ortiz and Santa Fe. Doggyboy is right about the street being noisy but that is a great area to live in. Everything that you need is within 5 blocks in any direction. You are close to 2 small local parks which are pretty dirty and trashy but cater to locals and really add a lot of atmosphere to the area. Plus you are right by the Scalabrini Ortiz stop on the green line of the subte. The best case scenario is to get an apartment on one of the side streets one or two blocks from Scalabrini Ortiz. It will be quiet as a tomb and you are still close to the action.

Since there are obviously some folks here connected into the apt rental buisness. I'm looking for a two bedroom apt (4 pax - 2 male 2 female) in BA to rent Feb. 21 through Mar 1. I've been living in Martinez for five months but have some friends coming in to town and we want to do it up inside the city. Things I'm looking for are.

1. Fun neighborhood (bars-restaraunts etc.)

2. Pool.

3. Proximity to subway.

4. Nice terrace - bbq area.

Looking to spend about 500-700/ week, but could be pushed a little higher in the right situation. I'm currently traveling in Peru but will be back in BA around Feb. 15 to sort out the apartment. If needed i could deliver a down payment (cash or credit) on the apartment before that date.

Thanks.

Status:

1. Badman answered promptly but I declined because his very nice places were too expensive for my needs.

2. Reynolds finally showed me 1 dumpy apt, Friday. It was next to Checkers Pub. It was tempting because all of Exon's honey was so convenient! But, I couldn't be a buddy fucker!

3. MCSE / Barts. He gave the assignment to a chica. She demanded that I book before inspection! She would not relent! I appealed to MCSE. He agreed with me. But another 6-8 days have passed and she has shown me nothing or emailed, but she promised to show!

4. MyPlaceRealEstate. I have rented from them often in the past. Many promises but no showings!

--------------------

My search is over--I found a place through my current landlord. This has been a sad experience! The rental possibilities were 15-18 days now and for many months beginning March 16. And most didn't give a fuck!Hey Sidney,

What am I, a potted plant?

Did you check my apartments?

Jackson
02-07-09, 21:54
You are an expensive, ''rare'' plant! BTW, Roxanne had nothing.Hi Bennie,

I just wanted the record to reflect that...

1. You send me an email inquiring if I had any apartments available.

2. I responded within a few hours with links to two apartments.

3. You responded back that your budget was $25 USD per night.

This was an impossiblly low number that no one was able to meet.

Thanks,

Jackson

Jackson
02-08-09, 15:57
Reflect on this: If you multiply $25 X 30 days, it is = $750 per month (I pay $750 per month with Direct TV (Bloomberg, Fox) TV mounted high on the wall, DVD, King Bed, Wi-Fi, cellular, pool on roof, gym, sauna, laundry, security) There many nice apartments in that price range. I have paid that price range for years in Recoleta / Barrio Norte. BTW, a gfe and sister rent a nice 1-bdr apt on Junin, 1/2 block from your luxury apt for $515! I edited my original Post to include Jackson. -------- Not Impossible! Thanks, Savings SidCongratulations Sid, I applaud your success in finding an apartment that somebody apparently gave you for free, because my apartments cost me approximately $750 USD per month each just to pay the building expenses, the utilities, the cable TV and Internet service, the biweekly cleaning and laundry, and the portero's monthly tip.

My point is that the owner of the apartment you rented was apparently satisfied with having a tenant who would pay the bills.

Anyway, please keep us posted as to your future success in finding free apartments as it will serve as an indicator to the rest of us to get out of the apartment rental business.

Thanks,

Jackson

PS: For yout next trick, I challenge you to find a Cabana las Lilas quality restaurant with menu prices equalling the grocery store's prices.

Monthly Direct TV and internet bill combined are about $ 100 USD. Add in building expenses, cleaning costs, ABL taxes, doorman tip, phone bill, recently increased electric bill etc and you will quickly find yourself in the > $ 500 USD a month range. If you add in apartment maintenance and repair costs, you will quickly surpass that figure.

Mongers,

Just as a frame of reference, I will list my monthly expenses here or my roughly 200 square meter apartment located in Recoleta.

Building Expenses: $750 AR.

Directv: $215 AR.

Electricity: $250 AR.

LandLine: $100 AR.

Gas: $25 AR.

Internet: $120 AR.

Maid: $500 AR.

Vonage: $50 AR.

Water: $40 AR.

ABL: $130 AR.

So all that totals to about $2180 AR, or about $623 USD at the current exchange rate. Keep in mind this is for a premium apartment on a 2 year lease denominated in PESOS, with guarantor. Add on the rent, which next month will rise from $3700 AR to $4400 AR as per the 20% inflation clause for the second year of the contract. So the grand total for this apartment is $6580 AR per month, or $1880 USD at today's rate. So if Jackson or Badbreath were renting this apartment for me, they would have to rent it for $1900 USD per month just to BREAK EVEN.

But another 6-8 days have passed and she has shown me nothing or emailed, but she promised to show!Hi Sidney: You requested a visit to this apartment http://www.barts.com.ar/barts/lodgin/gallery_full.php?bartsapartment=castex which in fact monthly rental is USD 469 per month. BARTS rented the apartment for 6 months starting march 1st, but was available for your requested span of time. My staff clarified the apartment's bed (your main concern may be not as confortable as you wanted, which was your reason for visit the unit) so I was informed you were no longer interested in that particular apartment.

Miami Bob
02-10-09, 00:21
ROCK--Sid has a point. Sid has lots of time to search out bargins. I have rented from Jackson and Bad. Possiblly for a 3 month rental they are not a bargin if you are walking in Sid's shoes. For Bob that are generally ok, especially if they run a promotion.

I have been in 3 of Jackson's 4 apartments. Top buildings--at least one full level above Rock's apartment in terms of finish, elegance and location. On a per meter price, for 50 meters--a typical 1/1-- your break even is under us$500 per month; therefore, us$750 per month would not be a crazy price to rent in your building for a 50 meter 1 bedroom/1 bath.

Bart's Castex apart looks like a dump compared to Jackson's and everyone one of Bad's apartments I've seen. Rock's place is like a palace compared to the fotos of Barts castex. Bart's also has beautiful apartments that are on the very top end of the market.

My sense of the market is that time, experience and your needs play a major role in the pricing. Sid has the time to look; doesn't care about the design of the lobby nor if the appartment is in the most elegant part of Recoleta with the highest prices.

I tend to rent for 1 to 2 weeks maybe 3 to 5 times per year. I don't want to be by Abasto--the only place that I have been robbed on the street in about 30+ trips to BA. When Jackson or Bad have a special, I am very happy with their pricing. If I lived in BA and was looking to rent for 3 months and had lot's of time to look, I'm sure I could do better in a less elegant neighborhood.

Reynolds has a very large range of pricing and is reliable. ByT has many apartments in the range that Sid is discussing--I personally might be a little worried to rent a bargin for 3 months with out seeing it first, especially with ByT. There are ads in Clarin that offer cheaper rentals, but you have to do your own investigation--sid can do that. This is not Jackson, Bad's nor Bart's market.

Congradualations Sid--you have found bargins. I can't look for the same type of bargins because I don't have time in BA to go bargin shopping. You stopped dealing with Mike Koh because you out grew him. I guess that you have outgrown some other agencies that are geared more to client's like me.

Sid--I'll be in BA for two weeks the end of April or the beginning of may, 2009:

Can you find me an apartment like yours for US$500 for two weeks?--I'll wire you a deposit today and pay you a commission. On top of the us$500. After you tell me to forget it, I'll see if Jackson, Bad or Barts has any specials becuase I trust them more than to go bargin hunting for a two week stay. If your landlord has any availability for my type of busniess, I'm ready to try your approach--if and only if --someone local will check out the apartment or sid I'll gladly accept your word if you know the place and the landlord.

Greetings everyone,

I moved Bizzie's question about Recoleta vs Palermo to a new thread.

http://www.argentinaprivate.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5302

Bizzie, the next time you want to start a new subject, first use the forum's search function to look for an existing thread on your proposed subject, and if not, then start a new thread.

Whatever you do, please don't change the subject of an existing thread.

Does anyone have any experience with the (GUC) apartment in Recoltea on J. M. Gutierrez Between Lapida & Aguero?

I have been told it's very nice.

Are the Baires people decent to deal with?

It will be my first time down in Argentina. I've looked at sites like BAHabitat, apartmentsba.com, and found one called friendlyrentals.com. They seem to have good deals and aren't asking for an $800 deposit, like apartmentsba is. I wanted to know if anyone has used them.

Thanks

I used BAhabitat on a previous trip. I negotiated a zero deposit over the phone. I had a nice place in an older building with foot thick walls that was so quiet you could have had a firing squad at Nueve De Julio and I could have slept through it at Cerrito and Libertad.

I would have stayed in the same place this time if it was available.

There is a metric shit ton of available apartments in this town. Tourism is way down, and its the end of the peak season. I would negotiate the listed price and deposit and get an apartment not facing the street.

I would shy away from a newer building on a busy street. The newer buildings have a big noise problem with the buses going by. They are built really thin. Its not only the outside walls, the ceilings are thin. I feel bad for the people below me in the apartment I am in now.

If anybody coming to town end of this month and does not have arrangements made or stuck for apartment for shortterm (Mar 31-April 7) I will be going fishing for that week and would sublet my apartment for a very reasonable rate - under $30usd / night. It is not big, but is in great area (ayacucho / pena) very quiet (room does not face street) has wifi, good tv, etc.

My large, 1,000 SF one bedroom apartment on the corner of Callao and Alvear, in a very upscale building one block from Black and Shampoo, is available for those dates, and I can rent it to you for only $60 USD per night.

I am planning to stay in BA for the months of Sept. And October. I will be traveling with the GF so the rental is for 2 people. My priorities are a nice clean and secure apt, in good location with internet and voip if possible.

I guess Recoletta and Palermo are the in places to stay but would actually prefer downtown as the GF has spent a few weeks with me at Hotel Plaza and feels comfortable with the area. Since I have to work while in BA having the GF not be bored stiff would be nice. I am also open to staying in other areas if the apt is to my liking, heck it would be nice to get to know another neighborhood etc.

Would prefer to pay by credit debit card as my employer will be footing the bill and I am not sure they could figure out paying cash etc. I guess I could always pay cash and expense it.

I'd say budget would be up to 2,000 per month. I am sure there are options for much less than that as well.

Posting this to get some advice, if possible.

I will be in BA from August 10 through 28-th, and a friend of mine will join me for 10 days of that time. He and I decisded to share a 2-bedroom apartment, so that we can invite girls to it, etc. I see some possibilities in Recoleta on a 'luxury" apartments website http://www.recoletapartments.com/buenos-aires-2bedroom.html. They will cost us about US$110-120 a day, but it looks very nice, about 100 square meters, with balconies, in a nice area of Recoleta, allegedly quiet. But the website is in English, which makes me a bit suspicios that this is a "gringo" price (although in many countries this would be a very resonable price for such an apartment) Please tell me: is it reasonable and fair, or should I do something else?

In principle, I could come to BA, stay one night in a hotel, and see these and other places for myself. Of course this will be more hussle, and I would essentially lose the day out of my trip, and I guess it is possible that some of the nicer apartments are easier to get ahead of time rather than on the last moment.

Any advie along these lines will be highly appreciated.

Break out google maps and find the intersections (if a link / map isn't provided for you) While an apt may be in Recoleta, it may not be convenient to some activities. You may also want to orrient yourself with Jackson's cheat sheet and the relevant locations.

For instance, if you want to spend time in the Recoleta biloches and only have a couple of blocks to walk home with dessert, you might not want an apartment near Patio Bullrich, and so on.

Hello,

Since I am looking to rent in August (August 10-28) I looked at your posts and actually checked that websire, www.discoverba.com, among some others.

I am interested in renting a nice 2 bedroom apartment in a good part of Recoleta, preferably with a balcony, quiet, to share with a friend. I see they offer some 2 bedroom's for about US$75-100 a day. Now, I do not know BA prices, but I saw similar offers on the websites barts.com and recoletapartments.com, and others. This particular website www.discoverba.com does not seem out of line in prices, as they all seem to list very similar prices. Now, is this all just a "gringo" scheme, in English-language websites, and Spanish-speakers can rent comparable apartments for 2-3 weeks a lot cheaper? If this is the case, I could stay in a hotel the first night and look for an apartment when in BA. Not that I really want to do that, unless there is no other way. I wonder if I will find something comparable a lot cheaper if I go around looking (and I am not sure how to do that: whom do you contct then?

Please give us your wisdom here.

Potemkin,

Just a couple of observations:

1. In my opinion, $75-$100 USD per day for a 2 bedroom apartment in Recoleta impresses me as a suspiciously low rate for such an apartment, and specifically because...

2. In a large majority of apartments advertised as having 2 bedrooms, the 2nd bedroom is in fact the apartment's maid's quarters that has been magically "converted" into a 2nd bedroom for marketing purposes. There's nothing inherently wrong with the maid's quarters per se, but they are generally...

A. Quite small (6ft x 6ft, 5ft x 7 ft, etc.
B. Accessible only through the back of the kitchen.
C. Include only a 1/2 bath (no shower)
D. Furnished with a single bunk bed.

The point is that all two bedroom apartments are not equal.

Thanks,

Jackson

Thank you for your reply, Jackson. Sorry to bore you with all these details, but since we are alreasy discussing it.:

Actually, I looked a bit more closely, and the apartments I like are from US$106/ day to US$128/ day if rented for 15 days (I will rent for 18, so I assume this will be my daily rate) So, it is just a bit more than what I said initially.

I see specifically two nice apartments in "www. Recoletapartments. Com":

1) One (#266) with what seems to be a very-very nice open view of Plaza del Lector (in La Isla part of Recoleta) with what they call a "French" balcony (I do not know what that "French" means) But you may be correct about maid's room: while the master bedroom has a king-size bed, the second bedroom has 2 twin beds (but not one, so it can not be too small) Photos taken in the apartment look nice. It has only one bath -- a negative thing, of course.

2) Another, # 10, is one block from Alvear, 1/2 block from Quintana Ave, 4 blocks from the Cemetery (this is nice location, no? Large balcony, nice view of an old classical-style building across the street, 1 full bathroom plus one toilet (better) and the second bedroom has "two twin-size beds or a king-size bed". This last statement is puzzling to me. I can only assume they imply that two twin-size beds can be pushed together? Again, photos are reasonably nice. And again, probably you are correct about maid's room. I do not know for sure. This one is actually $106/ day, cheaper than the first one.

Anyway, what do you think? Should I hold till I come there and look at actual apartments while in BA, or go ahead and reserve?

Again, sorry to involve you in all these details right here in the Forum (I actually have sent you a private message before I saw your reply to my post, with some other aspects which I do not mention here)

And if I reserve, is it safe to deal with this website (Company) what do you think?

Thanks!

I found that some of the same apartments I saw on "Recoletapartments.com" are listed through Craiglist under "Buenos Aires Habitat" website (or Agency? They give there phone numbers, etc. Looks very legitimate. But they were not mentioned in the "Recoletapartments.com" website. Have anybody dealt with "Habitat"? They have many very attractive listings, and the presentation is most professional. Is this normal, generally, to see the same apartment lited in different agencies (I assume they are different, because "Habitat" was not mentioned in the first one) Is this potentially a sign of deception?

I see A LOT of listings in Craiglist, in Recoleta alone.

Google:

Reynolds imobileria this is owned by a candadian / argentine couple. Good customer service and a nice selection of apartments for less than $100 per day /$600 per week.

Bytargentinia-argentine owner, large and been around for many years. They have a section on their search for luxury apartments. You should find an outstanding apartment for less than us$550 to $600 per week. I have rented from them many times. Their upper end apartments are great. There have been reported problems generally with the lower end and owners not, byt.

The isla is the most elegant part of recoleta with the highest prices. Gorgeous, safe and the best location. A french balcony is a small balcony-sometimes in the USA it is referred to as a romeo and juliet balcony. The other location you mentioned is also excellent.

The market has dropped in price over the last few years. I was acustomed to paying $500 to 600 per week for a nice 1 bedroom 50 to 60 meters in a good part of recoletta. The last year I have rented at $400 and $375 per week without any problems nor complaints-but lacking a 24 hour doorman[which I don't really need, but it is nice]the changes in the market have negatively effected all but the strongest and most motivated players.

I know nothing about this habitat place-good nor bad. Either way, best of luck and enjoy ba. Feel free to pm me for more specific info.

Trying to keep the rent to us$500/month or less.

A few years back I had a small place, monthly rent was app. What most people I met were paying for 2 nights in a hotel. Not bad if you could live without ac and tv. The sun hit the back wall at about 11 till 4, time to be elsewhere. I grew up in NYC back before ac became affordable and reliable, so I knew a few ways to deal with it. Matinees at the cinema were just a few pesos. Unfortunately not many movies I was willing to sit through, so I ended up seeing "master and commander" quite a few times; I liked that parts of the movie were supposed to be taking place right off the coast.

BTW, I found this place by walking around neighborhoods I liked and reading the cards in the realtors' windows. Time consuming yes, but it was great for learning my way around. I returned two years later and suddenly there was a wealth of online apt. Rental places.

I'm going to be in ba for a few days in nov, and will do the pavement pounding thing again, hoping to find something for my long stay beginning in jan.

A word of caution to those Perusing the rental sites: see the place up close and personal before making any agreement.

Hello.

After reading some of these apt threads, I figure it'd be easier to get the input from the experienced here.

This is my 1st time in BA, I am travelling alone; though friends from Chile will be meeting up with me. It seems Recoleta and Palermo is where I'd want to stay. I'd like an apt of good value in the middle to upper mid-range range. I am looking at $350-$450+ish a week if that's realistic.

Important to me:

1. Good value. Reasonably priced.

2. Location. Close to restaurants, bars, cafes, civilian eye candy.

3. Reputation. I hate getting ripped off; I'd like to deal with reputable people.

I just booked my flight 2-days ago so I hope this isn't cutting it too close. Some research shows me that http://www.apartmentsinba.com And Reynolds might be a good place to start. Tim Ferriss (The 4-Hour Workweek) recommended http://www.ba4uapartments.com.ar/ As his favorite outfit, even though they are gay-friendly.

The 17th is coming up soon, and I need a cool apartment! Any advice or feedback provided would be appreciated. Thank you!

Most of us don't go to Cordoba as it is not a major tourist attraction. I pass through there on the way to a house I have in Casa Grande which is sort of like Bumfuck Idaho. Nothing there. But I like it. Reminds me of when I lived in Colorado. The truth is most Argentines when renting to a foreigner will try to rip you off in one way or another. I have found (as well as many others here) that it is cheaper, easier and faster to look on Google or Blidoo or one of the other search engines and to find a rental where you deal direct with the owners. Cordoba is a little better then Buenos Aires as far as I have seen in that they are not too blatant in their attempts to rip you off. Plus the people speak a "better" Spanish then in Buenos Aires. For me, they are easier to understand. Now if you don't care how much you spend and don't mind putting up a years security deposit (which you most likely won't see again) there are rentals from every real estate agent around, not to mention Craigs list etc. I apologise for trying to help you. Good luck in your search!

Gandolf, the guy is a troll. Just ignore him or give him sarcastic responses. I tell him to use Google and he acts like it is a legit response. He offers nothing here, I wonder if he smokes a cigar?

Hi guys,

Anybody have a comment on Airbnb in BA? Someone just posted an article on the peso and it mentioned a dramatic rise in listings in the past year. Seems it could be a real bargain compared to hotels and agencies.

I have experience with Airbnb. Outside of Argentina and have communicated with owners of units inside Argentina. I am going to use Airbnb for my coming move. In my opinion (and I could care less about the opinions of others here), using Airbnb helps avoid contract obligations and helps avoid some misunderstandings that might occur when renting from a distance.

The number of listings on Airbnb in Cordoba is incredible. Perhaps out of proportion to those listed in BA. As the economy of Argentina has inflated and the value of the currency has deteriated, people have been starved for a safe place to park assets. One major place to park cash and seemingly protect the value of savings is to buy Condos. In Argentinian real estate listingsyou can sometimes find actual listings of brand new condos and apartments listed separately. I believe this is causing a wonderful supply of rentals for those of us interested in renting (me for sure). I have found listings that can be had at a 40% discount to listed price in Cordoba. I cannot swear it is the same in BA but tend to think the same forces are in play.

Over the last 3-4 years I have used AIRBNB at least ten times always renting an apartment not a room. Never had a problem and I always got my deposit back.

I've used AirBNB a half dozen times or so in Europe and once in Buenos Aires. Great values to be had in Europe compared to hotels but the rental apartment market is so big in BA that, while I was happy with my rental in BA, it wasn't a bargain. Maybe 15-20% more than a regular agency after all the fees but was easier and I felt more confident that I was getting what I expected. The AirBNB selection was much thinner (mostly studios) than agencies like Reynolds or bytargentina (both of which I've used w / o any big issues).

These days I almost always rent from http://www.apartmentsinba.com in BA. Mike has good prices and is easy to work with. They don't have a lot of units so it works best when you have are planning at least a few months in advance.

Hello, I have come to Buenos Aires to do TEFL course and then look for a job in teaching porteňos some English with hope of making enough money to support myself and my life here. I am former University student so I am trying to save as much money as possible and therefore cannot live luxuriosly for now. I am looking for a flat/studio flat to rent for some time and I am planning to stay here if I can afford it. I would like my own flat but I can rent it with one/two other people if really necessary. I would love to have balcony in the flat or even better, access to roof terrace. Does anybody have/know someone who has flat available for rent, or knows best place where to look for rent appartements? I am of course currently looking through craigslist/airbnb and all kinds of stuff, just wondering if you guys can help me out too. My current rent is ending by August 20th.

Muchas Gracias.

I have a TEFL certificate and can assure you that you will not make enough money to live alone in Capital Federal. And, you'll spend half your day on the bus, train, or subway.

Gonna be in BA mid November for 12 nights. Think I'll try airbnb. Any suggestions for neighborhood would be appreciated. Once I get closer to my trip, will check back in for Chica referrals. I'm new to this forum but am a senior member on ISG and have contributed a lot. I've RTFF here, but not a lot and seems things change a lot. Thanks!

Thanks!My recommendation would be Palermo or San Telmo, as far as neighborhoods go. Palermo is sub-divided into Alto Palermo, Palermo Viejo, Palermo Chico, etc. But Palermo Viejo is the real Buenos Aires. San Telmo neighborhood is a bit funkier, a bit more dangerous quite frankly, but younger and hipper. Belgrano is not bad but is a bit far out.

I have always stayed in Reoletta (30+ visits to Bs As). Recoletta isn't as trendy as either Palermo or San Telmo. I have spent lots of time at restos and bars in both of those neighborhoods but, retreat back to Recoletta as bedtime approaches. Recoletta (from the cemetery to the Four Seasons, over to Plaza V. Lopez y Planes) is sort of the Beacon Hill, Society Hill, Georgetown of Bs As. I have walked "home" in the neighborhood well past my bedtime (like an hour before sunrise) and have never had a security issue (so, actually, safer than Georgetown, where I used to live). I'm fairly experienced at navigating cities in "emerging economies" but, Bs As is easier than Chicago or Detroit. I have walked from Palermo to San Telmo (during the day) and all those neighborhoods were fine. Palermo Viejo (pronounced "pa-lair-mo bee-ay-ho") is packed full of restos and bars. I definitely think that foot traffic on the streets, late at night, will be heavier in PV than ST. ST is definitely more cutting edge (used to spend a lot of time there working during the daylight hours).

Don't be shy about meeting up with AP'ers who live in Bs As (it took me a long time to do this, I wish I hadn't waited so long). They know the city, the p*ssy and everything else you need to know. They may look like the patrons of the Star Wars bar (that is intended as a light hearted jibe to you guys) but, I haven't met one that I didn't like and who wasn't warm and friendly to me (and I am a prickly SOB). If there is an event at the AP House, while you are in town, you'd be a fool not to attend.

3.5 years ago, I stayed in Jackson's apartment, the one with the dance pole on the second floor. I want to come out in June, sent some PMs, but no response.

Besides those, does Jackson have other apartments as well?

I've stay with Airbnb in Lima (3 times), Quito, and Barcelona with no problems.

A little help here please?

A little help here please?I don't think "girl friendly" is even on the radar of the apartment rental agencies. I think it mainly depends on the portero. If there is no portero you are good - but still be discrete so not to get the attention of neighbors. If there is a portero, just hope he is OK with you bringing back (multiple) chicas. I always make friendly with the portero at the beginning, even find an excuse to tip him maybe. I have never had a problem. Although the last one was an AirBNB and I was a little hesitant to bring back multiple chicas, because you walk right past the portero and I was told I'd have to sign every guest in, and I didn't want the AirBNB host getting wind of it and putting it in my AirBNB review. So in the end I only took back one chica, and I didn't even have to sign her in after all. My other apartments were with BA Habitat and I had no problem there either (no chica sign-in). You can PM me for details if you want. Another option are the love motels for about $25 for two hours, see my last travel report.

Why take somebody you don't know into your house?If you have anything valuable that will not fit in the safe (some short term rental apartments do not have safes), it is subject to being stolen by a "visiting" chica, or her accomplices. I prefer to go to their place. That way they do not know where you are staying, and do not have an opportunity to take a mental inventory of what you might have. I always travel with a laptop computer and a smartphone, among other things. I would hate to have either stolen for a piece of pussy.

Tres3.Also the insurance that usually comes with your credit card is not valid if you pay in cash. I buy an annual policy from Allianz in conjunction with the credit cards (more for health reasons) and if something gets stolen you need a police report to get reimbursed. I just went through this whole mess as I had a bag stolen at the Vienna train station last summer. The companies paid half my claim but I was not in the mood to use my time fighting for the rest of it for $1000 which probably is what the claim adjusters figure in their calculation. The annual policy is a better deal if you make 3 or more trips a year. The insurance is more important for health reasons than stolen property.
