...How big of a thing?

The technology of both the app and the docking point can both be quite buggy from time to time, but it's a pretty good deal if you're willing to put up with that.

For selling things, some friends used this service for an estate sale: https://mariamaranessi.com/ Alternatively, this company has been recommended on the forum before: https://cecilgoitia.com.ar/

FWIW, I have no opinion on the quality of this school since I don't have kids, but from biking around the provincia I know there's another English-medium school in Olivos/Nordelta, if you're open to driving a bit: https://www.northlands.edu.ar/en/our-school/ If you really like driving, there's...

As other folks have said, salsa isn't so big here, but if you're interested in learning tango, there are a ton of places that teach lessons early in the evening before the dancing gets going: https://www.hoy-milonga.com/buenos-aires/es You can also take more intensive tango lessons if you...

There are a bunch of posts on the site about peoples' opinions on private schools, including Lincoln. Here are a few: https://baexpats.org/threads/belgrano-day-school-or-lincoln-school.46161/ https://baexpats.org/threads/comparing-us-and-ba-schools.46283/...

Cost-wise, I've found private lessons here to be between USD $20-30 per hour. However, if you're looking to get up to speed, going to an intensive class might give you more opportunities to meet and speak with other people in a less structured manner. Plus, private lessons tend to only be one...

You can also use Zonaprop's "temporal" section, but you might end up having to stay in a hotel for a few days, since it's not a direct-booking platform. https://www.zonaprop.com.ar/departamentos-temporal-balvanera-once.html

Thanks! I didn't see this post and it's a good break-down.

I thought so as well, but I've heard stories about people having to pay extra -- sometimes a lot extra -- because they were specifically buying clothing or were sent clothing as a gift. I didn't ask those people details on when those things happened to try to correlate anything with changing...

Does anyone have a sense of what import duties are for clothing? I've heard that they're higher than for other items (no idea if that's true) and I'm trying to do a little comparison shopping of my options for bringing something in from the US (i.e. using a service like Grabr vs sending it to...

Definitely seconding the Herald's recommendation of Sin Nombre. Their food is delicious and they have an amazing variety of vermouths to try.

Agreed. It's not that I don't go to supermarkets, but I'm glad that verdulerías, bakeries, etc. exist and are so widely available here. I wouldn't mind it if coffee beans were cheaper, but I also recognize that they're necessarily an imported good. I've had a hard time with finding a good...

Just to add to the list, Cine York in Martinez shows a range of both Argentine and international movies, though they're usually not new movies. https://www.instagram.com/cineyork/

It's just your passport and the fee.

I'm in a similar situation and was able to find rental options by finding units posted in dollars on Zonaprop and then talking to the owners about my visa/foreign income situation through the rental agents. I found an owner willing to rent in three month contracts, paying three months up front...

Sorry -- a body bag for each passenger?? I don't have a car, so I don't know the rules.

This is also a good school in BA, though their prices are lower than average: https://ieslvf-caba.infd.edu.ar/sitio/aens-ele-espanol-lengua-extranjera/ Housing that's explicitly designated as student housing is less common here than it might be in other countries. You'll probably want to just...

Also, you can read this very recent thread about utility costs, which should be similar in other places as well: https://baexpats.org/threads/ball-park-cost-of-utilities-month.48829/#post-461684
