Gaucho,

As a recent newlywed my wife and I are going to make the jump and move to BA for a couple years (hopefully) to work professionaly and travel through parts of Argentina and South America we haven't already visitied, we hope to be there by the first week of October. My question. Apartement rentals, have they been dolarized or can we find something reasonable in Pesos for a long term rental? Areas we are looking at are Palermo Hollywood/ Chico or las Canitas (the later being more expensive I hear).
The 1.5 year that I lived in Argentina I lived in Recoleta (Augero y Las Heras)back in 2002 and I got my apartment for a steal $390/ month. I understand that I can't get the same price and now I will need an apartment with a bedroom (2 ambientes + cocina). Can you reccomend where to look for them?

As well, are commissions for agents still 2 months rent (that the renter pays?) - I had negotiated down to one month.

Any tips or advice would be helpful and of course I would reciprociate your help by answering more questions in this forum.
