It's amazing what a bit of googling will do. http://argentinamusicrental.com/ Let's update my question: anyone used these guys before?

Hola Expats, Are there any shops here in BA that rent musical instruments? I'm recording some songs and am in desperate need of a bass; but I don't want to buy one since I'm traveling. Figure it's a long shot but thought I'd ask. Thanks! Kevin

Hola Kimberly, if you're still looking for a jam partner, I'd love to get together and play sometime. I play guitar, and jazz. Drop me a PM if you'd like to play sometime! - Kevin

Oh man that was exactly it! Thanks Sleuth. I was leaving out both the 011 and the 9. Now it works fine.

Damn Joe just saw this, I arrived last Tuesday. I love gypsy jazz - I play it myself, quite badly. Please post any other upcoming shows, I'd love to come out and support. - Kevin

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for a technical question but I'll ask it anyways. I got a phone on Movistar and charged it with 50 pesos. I received one call (from a foreign number - a Blackberry) and I've been able to receive a bunch of texts here in Argentina. In Skype, I have...

I arrived two days ago and thought I'd pass along my experience. In short, it was a breeze. In the US, the ticketing lady gave me no gruff. I had my round trip to Uruguay (pre bought) as insurance in case she did but I didn't need to pull it out. When I got to Argentina it's a two step...

Cool, thanks guys. Zissou, yup that was me - I'll check out Almagro as well, sounds like that could be just the ticket.

Okay, thanks everyone for your stories. Sounds like it's either going to be a piece of cake or I'm going to be dragged through hell to get on the plane. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Just booked a day trip to Uruguay, so hopefully that'll get me out of any complications the US wants to throw my...

Well, alcohol tends to reveal deeper truths. So that sounds legit to me. And $400 is right in my price range. In the States I've always used Craigslist to find sublets. Is Craigslist big in Buenos Aires, or is there some local apartment board folks use?

Wow, thanks all! These are great options. Chico - yeah, I'm more of a boutique kinda guy. I'm also an evening worker so it sounds like UrbanStation might be just the ticket for me, though I'll definitely check out a few before picking one. As an aside, I just wanted to say thanks for the high...

Geez, thanks for all your help guys. Carlosgreat: I'm going to BA, but I have a friend in Santiago I'm hoping to visit while down there. Before I posted here, I emailed the Argentinian consulate and I just received this response: Dear Sir: 1- If you are a U.S. citizen and you are...

Thanks guys, this is very helpful! I'll check these out.

Hey guys, looks like this question has been asked previously in the forum. Sorry for the dupe. Nonetheless, I'd be interested in up to date price info. I'm looking to sublet a furnished room with 1 or 2 other people. Sounds like Palermo is a good place to look, from what I can tell. What kind...

Hey there, Has anyone had any experience with coworking joints in BA? I'm a roving computer programmer who's addicted to coworking. This place comes up first in the google: http://coworkingbuenosaires.com/ Any experience? Thanks! Kevin

Hi all, I'll be in BA from January - May. I have housing secured for January through a school but am looking to sublet in February. First question: which neighborhoods should I look at as an American expat? If you're familiar w the States, places I've lived and loved include Logan sq in...

Ok, thanks both! Sounds like I shouldn't have any problems then.

Hola! I'm from the States, moving to BA from January through May. Super excited to meet folks and explore! I've got two questions: 1) I've got a round trip ticket dec 27 - may 24. I believe visitors can get 90 day visas. Will immigration give me a hard time if I show up with a 5 month long...
