If you clean the bathroom on a regular basis(both walls,tubs,etc) with bleach then it will kill the black mold and keep it from growing. During the cleaning process then use a household fan to keep the air moving.

Have a look at www.argentinahomes.com or www.buenosaireshabitat.com. Both companies are reputable and have a good inventory.

I am not going to say that there isn't any crime in BA, however when is the last time someone broke into a dark cinema and blew away a bunch of people like that guy did in Colorado. Need I continue with the numerous school shootings in the States. I think we need to keep the reactionary...

Have them have a look at www.expedia.com for their travel dates to see the best rates on many of the hotels in the city. For their price range then: IQ CAllao,Concord Callao,Etoile,BelAir,Ayres de Recoleta/Libertad/Recoleta Plaza,Urban Suites,Intersur Recoleta. These are all located in Recoleta...

I have been living in Buenos Aires for 10 years for at least 5 months each year and have not experienced any assaults or petty theft. I travel around the city on buses which I prefer over the Subte since I feel that I can protect my space better on the buses. I have been out late at night but...

Try Disco or Jumbo. They both had huge jars of dill pickles.

I had a friend who went to BBVA and was unable to complete pickup of money due to lack of bank account or DNI. The exchange rate at the bank would have been at the official rate and not the Blue Dollar rate. It doesn't matter what XOOM website says, you are not going to get Dollars in Argentina...

Wow, This is a great way to get money versus using the ATM's since you are making money off the transfer. This should help alot of people with the inflated prices.

What exchange rate did you get against the Dollar for your money transfer with XOOM? Thanks

If you are arriving at the International airport(EZE), then there will be transportation kiosks after the customs Xray. Look to your left and 3 companies(World,VIP,TiendaLeon) have private cars directly to your hotel. In addition, in the Arrivals Hall is the kiosks for TAXIEZE. The 3 private...

Rnazz, Thanks so much for taking the time to complete the post by explaining the conclusion of this incident with RentingBA. I am sorry that this happened to your parents and hope that it didn't ruin their vacation. We try very hard to route out problems such as this on TripAdvisor when we hear...

Blackhand---Maybe this is "much ado about nothing" for you, but for someone who has traveled all day on an airplance to get to Buenos Aires then has to deal with a problem like this in a foreign country, then not getting a good response about their deposit until they had to post on TripAdvisor...

Have a look at www.flipkey.com/buenos-aires-condo-rentals/ from Saint's TripAdvisor post for the LasCanitas apartment which was rented, then look at the verified owner?

Blackhand Iam not a rental agent at all. I have an impeccable record as a Destination Expert on TripAdviosr and an advocate for visitor's rights. I might ask if you are Alex Salazar????

Blackhand you are incorrect. The listing for Saint's apartment was removed from the RentingBA website since they did not have the authority to post it there. Had the OP from TripAdvisor not shared their bad experience then Saint would have never known that his property was on this website...
