I'm thinking of Palermo or Recoleta, a studio or one bedroom, security or secure, hopefully a washing machine, air con, clean, close to public transportation, restaurants, shops. What might I expect to pay? Any recommendations on rental agencies or should I just walk around and look on my own? Thanks for all responses and advice! P.S. First visit to Argentina!
I've used
ByTArgentina for my last four trips of 1 month each and have been very satisfied with them. Their agency fee is only $20 and they have a very large selection, especially in the Palermo/Barrio Norte/Recoleta area. For stays of 1 month or more, they require a 1-month security deposit which is collected with your total payment upon arrival.
I've always booked my stays in advance -- ranging from 1 month to 1 week in advance.
