Thanks, but it doesn't seem to recognise the destination address. Any other ideas?

Some guests have asked for advice how to travel to AEP from San Telmo (near Independencia subte). Apart from the taxi, is there any colectivo that goes near there or other bus service like Manuel Tienda Leon that leaves from somewhere nearer than puerto madero? Thanks!

Thanks gusys. Well my bill is pretty hefty now. From 200 odd pesos to 1000!!! So I wanted to check it wasn't a leak....

My water bill has gone up 400 %. Its not cumulative, definitely an increase. Have they removed subsidies, or has anyone else noticed a big jump? Thanks in advance!

PhilipDT, I assumed that Russia wouldn't be on the list of credit card options, but I will try! Thanks!

I am still having trouble with this. A russian guest wants to buy tickets for when he comes over in mid-september but russia is not on the registration form list of countries. Any way round this? I am not keen on doing this on his behalf as many guests cancel. Thanks in advance!

Many thanks everyone, I will confirm to him that that is the case!!

A guest (not yet arrived in Argentina) asked me to assist him buy tickets for an opera at the Teatro Colon. He is under the impression that foreigners are charged higher, but when I looked at the site I just saw one price. I know the guided tours are more expensive for foreigners. Also, as a...

Just an update - I had to cancel the transfer. There was no way to provide documents proving source of funds since the statement only shows cheque entering and not the source. I am outside Argentina so can't use the various methods suggested by expats, I just hope things change soon! Thanks for...

More Money are the partners who work with Xoom and Exchange4free. Exchange4free say the problems with cash pick-up are just as bad. Has anyone been having problems lately?

They won't release my money into my bank account. I have sent them the statement showing it leaving my account to go to exchange4free. Now they are asking for documents showing how I earned my money, if it was an inheritance, salary, etc, in the firsst place!!! this is outrageous! Please be...

Does anyone know of a site like exchange4free, xoom, azimo, etc that works favourably for sending money to argentina from a russian bank account? Thanks!

I never had a smart-phone or fancy electronic equipment or nice clothes, and still I had a home invasion armed robbery. We didn't even have much cash to give the robber. It's not always about show-off tourists with equipment....... And actually once, after we were broken into before (but...

My recommendation is for Francisco Forquera, the best teacher for classes in men's technique or private lessons too if you are a follower. He is amazing, footwork exercises in the classes are the best I have seen in 15 years dancing tango. He teaches at Berretin Tango. He used to teach at...

I would take legal advice before trying that. I know someone who was in US on a student or work visa (can't remember which), married a US citizen and then applied for a change of status based on that. She was deported for 10 years!

I'm still looking for a couple (30-60 years) to live in the house and rent out rooms, preferably one of whom works from home to ensure there is someone there most of the time..Please message me if you are interested as I don't always see posts added to this thread. Thanks!!

I can highly recommend Ernesto whose shop is onTacuari & Avenida de Mayo. I will try and find his phone number and address and post it here later. He's done a lot of work for me, fixing and re-upholstering a 3-piece suite and another sofa, making cushions and curtains too.

I've seen Club Sandwich on the menu at the cafe at Ezeiza airport. This was some years ago, and I remember being shocked at the price.

I am looking for an expat couple or two friends to live in and run the airbnb rental (two rooms) at my house. This would be for a minimum of a year and suitable for a mature and responsable couple (age 30 years) who spend a lot of time at home. Duties include: Guests' check-in and check-out...

It wasn't an anti-Starbucks post, just a heads-up to watch out if you're in that branch of Starbucks! I think it would be a nice idea to create an updated list of current hot-spots. It was a non-violent bag-snatch, btw.
