Thanks guys I'll check it out. Not going to pay a fee to check out a site though. I'll look at the other. Does anyone know why this happened to craigslist?

I always used craigslist. Now it seems almost unusable. Nearly every apartment has "comision to add," which was never the case before. The choice is limited and repetitive. Is there some new site or resource that everyone uses that I don't know about?

I'd also like to say...I love Buenos Aires. But if you think about it, it's insane that we've been conditioned to accept these kinds of prices in Buenos Aires or Rio. The average price for a modest apt. in a nice part of town should in fact be $300-$500, not double and triple that like in Tokyo...

I'm jelly...that's one of my favorite areas. Do you like that wine shop on Arenales next to the Well Club.

Downtown Buenos Aires you can find apartments for this price. I know that already. Like on Corrientes, I found stuff on craigslist about that. I also found a $400/month studio...small but everything included, near Recoleta border on Austria street I think. And I found a very livable apt. for...

You can still find a modest apt. for $700-$800/month in Buenos Aires, occasionally a deal for $600 if you rent longer than a month. Are prices a little better in Mendoza?

I found nice studio for $500 in good area of Palermo, for 2 month contract. So it's possible to find even in good parts of BsAs. That said, that was a good deal and hard to find. I'm curious about a nice place where this is the norm. It's certainly the case in nice parts of Europe by the way...

Where can I find a rental for one (studio or 1 br) in Argentina for about $400 a month or even $300? Anything like this exist still? I know occasionally you can find an amazing deal on craigslist even in Buenos Aires...I found something decent for $500 in Palermo not too long ago, and you can...

DM me and I'll write you later today. Unfortunately San Sebastian and the adjacent towns are not cheap...much more so in Galicia or Asturias. Basque country is quite developed and expensive. But I can give suggestions of which parts of the city you might like and also the food and other things I...

Can anyone explain why this is happening? Usually costs go up if the economy improves a lot, is this the case? Also why would costs go up for people on foreign income? I thought the dollar was stronger now...wouldn't I live better in Argentina on dollars than I did before?

Wasn't looking for Spain clone, but just meant something similar...a small town with beach or nature but that still is nice and not a dump like I heard most of Puerto Madryn is... I'll check out San Martin de los Andes. Why is Argentina no longer cheap? Has their economy really improved so much?

Thanks to all the answers. I guess I wanted to live in a nice small town with nature. And not pay through my nose for it. I was just looking in Chile close to the Valdivia Puyehue national park and the prices are astronomical. I might check out Mendoza, San Luis, San Juan. If anyone has other...

What kind of city is Mendoza? Is it worth living there for a month? And if I did live there what options are there besides airbnb to find a monthly apartment? I don't think craigslist has listings. I guess I'm wondering how it would compare to Buenos Aires. Is it cleaner? Mountain air? Nicer...

Thanks. It's fairly easy to find a monthly apartment in BsAs I'm just wondering if the same is true in Salta or Cafayate, or even other parts of Argentina, like places in Patagonia (maybe not as expensive as Bariloche).

Could use some more advice. Any of you lived in Salta? Hard or easy to find a place to stay there for a month or longer? And about how much?

What's the most scenic place you've lived in, in Argentina? I don't mean Ushuaia, where I wouldn't want to live, but somewhere warmer. I heard Salta or Cafayate is nice. Any idea if you can get a monthly apartment or place there and about how much it would go for? I guess that's the biggest...

Would be helpful to get some responses...thanks in advance!

Wondering if anyone has any experience with this. If so, what is the general procedure and what might be the biggest obstacle. Also please feel free to dm me, I'd prefer to talk that way actually. Thanks!

I wonder if it's OK to bring cash in $20 bills. I don't have time to change to hundreds. How do you change dollars these days? Do people still use cuevas? Do cuevas accept $20 bills? If not, where could I change them into pesos? Many thanks in advance. PM me if you don't want to respond in public.

I was wondering if anyone has info on how to travel by ship from northeast USA (Boston-NYC area is fine) to Argentina or Uruguay. Anything from cargo ship travel to repositioning cruise or whatever would be fine. Even better if you know someone with a private yacht who would be willing to take a...
