    Estancia Y Dia De Campo - Deal Or No Deal?

    They've got a cheaper deal if you opt to cook your own food. I think they'd also possibly be a little flexible on the price…..

    Estancia Y Dia De Campo - Deal Or No Deal?

    I absolutely LOVED Estancia Margarita - when my parents/best friend came to visit it was one of the best things we did. I mean, you're not going to have a lot of nightlife there - but for a couple of days it's great. Tons of animals - horses, piglets (one of which was killed for our asado which...

    How To Get Into The Argentine Rental Market?

    My PH is at the end of the hall/i.e. in the middle of the block and although there is enough sunlight, it's not streaming in at all hours of the day. I'm fine with it though and love the quiet. You can always buy some mirrors as well to reflect the light that you are getting and brighten it. And...

    How To Get Into The Argentine Rental Market?

    Your criteria is exactly mine (except I also needed a place that accepts dogs)! I have that now in a PH in Palermo Hollywood -lot's of space, quiet, 2 terraces, enough light, super charming/old. I pay 1100 USD (bank transfer) through an agency so I think you're getting a really good deal with...

    Argentines...scared Of The Cold?

    I can't count how many times I've been like, why am I the only one who would prefer a glass of wine to yet another bottle of coke. Drinking coke after coke -gross! Plus if we're talking health, you're putting tons of sugar and other toxic crap into your system with soda - might as well switch to...

    Would Life Here Be Easier If I Didn't Read This Site?

    At any given moment there is just as much (or more) good stuff going on in the world as bad - including here in Argentina. Perhaps people don't "need" to talk about that as much but it doesn't change the fact - you just have to redirect your attention….

    It's As Cold As A Witch's Tit Today...

    I think the winters here are gorgeous - crisp but not too cold and often bright blue skies. It's the summers I hate (at least in Capital)!

    Heating Not Working - Should I Pay Rent In Full?

    Ah interesting…I'm on my 2nd 6 month term with this rental and am probably going to sign up for another in 2 months - wonder when I'll start to fall under the 2 year lease contract. I don't know what that would even mean for me in practical terms, but interesting nonetheless….

    Heating Not Working - Should I Pay Rent In Full?

    You are on a guarentia/2 year unfurnished rental? Just asking because I'm paying 1100 USD/month for a furnished tourist rental -a PH - 90 sq meters in Palermo Hollywood. Trying to figure out what the current rental market is and if it's worth trying to move into a non-tourist situation or not...

    Huge Problems With More Money / Exchange4Free

    I went through the same process over a year ago with More Money/Xoom - so I don't think it's necessarily getting worse. They held my money for like 3 weeks or something after it had already left my account (it was a cash pick up) and I was livid. It's a super pain and feels invasive but once...

    Hey Eugenia & Natalie - I also work from home and really need to get out more. Let's arrange something! I'm also from California (not originally) but was in SF for 15 years before here. Eugenia - I also spoke zero Spanish when I got here and eventually picked it up. Honestly, if I can do it...

    Places To Stay In Bariloche, El Bolson, Etc.

    Hi all, Does anyone know of any great lodging - cabins, apartment rentals, etc.- in Bariloche, El Bolson or anywhere else with snow? I'm dying to see snow this year and want to plan a week long getaway. I tend to get good suggestions on this forum so figured I'd throw it out there. Thanks! Meri
