Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good company to book a temporary apartment with in Buenos Aires. I'm hoping to get a place in Palermo, Recoleta or Las Canitas that will hold 3 people. Two big requirements are air conditioning and a pool on the roof of the building.
Can anyone direct me on how I might be locate a temporary apartment for rent? We are prepared to pay a premium for a great place.
thanks
If you scroll back the Bs As forum or do a keyword search. You will find that renting apartments have been discussed several times and a number of agencies have been recommended.
I have used bairesapartments.com and have no complaints.
I highly recommend Facu at www.vacationrentalargentina.com He has some great properties and honest to deal with.

Yes! Renting can be confusing because there are so many agencies! I have used a bunch and found that only one really made me feel comfortable during my stay. I had a bad experience once with a company that kept my deposit because I spilled some delicious Malbec red wine on the white carpet - I thought it was OK because it was Malbec, but apparently not. Anyway, BA Stay has definitly taken the cake in terms of reliable agencies. If youre coming in the summer then you are right, AC and a pool is MANDATORY. I did a little search and thought this one might interest you:

Its beatiful and in a great part of town. If you check out their site there a lot more and if you dont find anything I suggest another angecy called www.TangoApart.com.ar You will surely find something between these two reputable companies. Good luck!
Hi,
if you do not insist to find an appartment in Palermo/Recoleta I suggest to consider "Buenos Aires Week Apartments" . It is placed centrally at Santa Fe Av. between Larrea and Ascuenaga. Subway at just one block distance. All your requirements are perfectly met. Best argument to choose Bs As week appartments is the manager: SYLVIA - she is always helpful and caring.
I myself have stayed there several times and will be back there next month - Buenos Aires Week Apartments is like "coming home" to Bs As.
Kind regards: Heinz
hello, I stayed in Palermo viejo in a wonderful apt for 4 weeks with this company (it was sam-porteno's suggestion) www.ReynoldsPropiedades.com , the apt can hold a couple (double bed) and a sofa in the living room. we were very fond......it was in paraguay 5337
Glad it worked out for you :)))

yes sam I'm thankful for all your suggestions..worked like magic...thanks again.. I'm back now.. ready for giving suggestions for Istanbul...
Wish I could assist you there but afraid that my last visit to Istanbul was during my rather young and foolish days :) Not terribly current on present situation and frankly have some difficulty remembering much about the city :)

Upon approaching for landing in Buenos Aires EZE airport you will realize BsAs is very well designed city by means of grids or blocks. In order to get to some place it is good to know not only the name of the street but also the intercepting street.
For example Esquina Homero Manzi is located at Ave San Juan y Boedo (y = and)
That is two different street names to indicate where thr exact part of the street the location is.
Buenos Aires has a number of newspapers, and each one of them has its own personality and ideological bias, so I thought I would go over them in case you are looking to read them:
- La Nacion: La Nacion is the oldest successful newspaper in town. Tends towards the conservative (center right towards right), heavily aligned with the Roman Catholic Church in matters of social and public policy. Its cultural and travel sections (both published on sundays) are probably the best around. Comprehensive website (www.lanacion.com.ar); PDF electronic print edition available for a subscription fee. In spanish
- Clarin: The other major newspaper, it's been around since the 1940s and has more populist overtones. Center-left in political issues. A bit more middle of the road on social matters. It's best features are the show business and young readers sections (Suplemento Si and classifieds (the most comprehensive around). Comprehensive free website (www.clarin.com) PDF electronic print edition available for a subscription fee. In Spanish
- La Razon: Free evening newspaper, geared towards commuters so can be easily found on the subway stations. It is owned by Clarin, so editorial line is similar. Only Monday through Friday, in Spanish
- Ambito Financiero: The most popular economic paper around. In depth coverage of all economic activity. Far right stance on social and political issues. Website (www.ambito.com) only provides headlines for free, rest is only on subscription. In Spanish
- Buenos Aires Herald: Only newspaper in english in town. General coverage, international news, a bit slim on the national happenings . Rather old fashioned coverage style.
There's a few other papers, but those are the major ones...
Of the 3 football games I've seen in Argentina, "La Bombonera", Boca Juniors stadium is the best by far. Not matter where you sit you feel like you are right on top of the field. It was a much better atmoshpere than the River Plate stadium.
The engergy of the crowd in "La Bombonera" is electrifying. The stadium is like the Fenway Park or Wrigley Field of soccer. The crowd is waving flags and singing the whole game. Just like in those classic American baseball parks, the crowd is very much into the game and everyone in the stands is a critic of every play.
At the match I saw between Boca and Olimpo, Diego Maradona, the most famous Boca Juniors and Argentine soccer player made an appearence.
Used the services of GoFootball.com.ar. The cost for the Boca Juniors game was $120 pesos. They pick you up at your hotel/apartment. A guide takes you into the reserved seat area of the stadium and is with you throughout the game. Afterwards they drop back off at your hotel/apartment. DO NOT WEAR any other football clothing except Boca when you attend the game!
Before entering the game, the guide expressly warned us not to cheer for any other team except the home team(Boca). In his words "it's a matter of life and death".
We shopped around quite a bit and grew tired of the seen on Florida Street, being constantly bombarded by barkers outside the stores trying to get you inside thier stores. Don't even think about buying a leather coat there, it's all crap. Speaking of Florida street, beware of the stores selling fake cashmere too. We found the greatest store for leather and cashmier. It's called Silvia y Mario, located at M.T de Alvear 550, across the Marriot Plaza Hotel , 1/2 block from Florida Street. It's a factory store that measures you and then custom makes your coats upstairs in the factory. Our coats were made in one day! The store has an amazing selection of styles and the staff is fantastic. Silvia the owner spent time with us herself and even gave us a tour of the factory and showed us all the different kinds of materials. They were friendly, informative, and professional. Not pushy at all. We bought two top of the line coats, and got a cash discount. We ended up paying about US$150 for each coat. I think we paid a little more than another factory store we had considered buying at, but we ended up with the most beautiful coats for our money and a wonderful shopping experience. leather coats and cashmere sweaters
This bar/restaurant is definitely one of the prettiest spots I've ever been to! The interior of this converted 19th century mansion is separated into multiple areas - bar area, side room off the bar, cozy lounge area, and dining area, all on the second level. The first and third levels have more seating options as well. I loved the outdoor terrace and garden area! They even have a dj spinning music.
Only negative is that this place is filled mainly with foreign expats and tourists. When it first opened it was primarily locals, but now the mix has changed due to the high prices for drinks and food.
