    Filters Or Delivery For Drinking/cooking Water?

    Zonaprop is just a site for posting advertisements so in itself it is neither safe nor unsafe. You’d be better off with Airbnb at least you don’t have to involve yourself with Argentine estate agents.

    Toll cost to Rosario from Caba

    The price is wildly out of date but apparently there's 3 or 4 peajes and roughly 1200 each one, except the Illia which is 2200/3000 offpeak/peak. You don't have to use the Illia either. https://www.gorfhi.ar/Precio-De-Peaje/De-Buenos%20Aires-Buenos%20Aires-A-Rosario-Santa%20Fe

    Using public healthcare system in CABA during trip

    They will also be able to go to a private hospital and pay “particular”. Which in Argentina still isn’t that expensive. There’s a thread on here somewhere about what people are paying.
