    Can anyone recommend a short term rental agency?

    I went thru rentinba.com for my 6-month rental and I couldn't be happier. They've been extremely attentive, accommodating, and friendly. They even were able to get the apartment that I was interested in for less than quoted on the website and with approval for my two dogs even though the unit...

    Resident flight prices

    Have you tried going into a local travel agent? That's how I did El Calafate and Iguazu. Granted I didn't get the price a local does, but I also paid a lot less than when i looked to buy online myself. Otherwise, I'd say just try the way you were thinking, I think the worst thing they would do...

    shipping things to argentina?

    Yes you can bring those things in. I shipped 4 suitcases in when I came down. And a lot of products, medication, etc, all in suitcases and they didn't even question because I made sure that it lists all of it as your belongings and not new merchandise. Also, be forewarned that if the weight is...

    I'm near Parque las Heras on the 29th floor with a balcony on 2 sides of my place. I can see all of BA and Rio de La Plata, and if clear enough Colonia in the distance. http://www.flickr.com/photos/madonnafreak18/sets/72157627882094541/

    Shopping the World Online from Argentina

    Oh my. If only it were that easy. Getting things that you have purchased online and had delivered from the company purchased or even from a friend in the states that you had it originally delivered to is a NIGHTMARE. No matter what I've tried it always, and I mean always gets held up at the...

    El Calafate

    I just returned from El Calafate yesterday. I was only there for a short stay but I highly recommend the Perito Moreno Glacier Minitrekking which includes a trip to the vista point. I also rather enjoyed the Todos Glaciares Navigacion boat excursion. I loved getting to see the Upsala glacier. I...

    Hairdresser that speaks English?

    Most of the recommendations for Ryan that I've seen, seem to be from women, and I just wanted to post my own recommendation for Ryan. I'm a very picky guy and he did a fantastic job. Extremely talented and an enjoyable experience overall.

    Gym near Pueyrredon y Las Heras in Recoleta?

    I paid somewhere around 2600 pesos for just the Alto Palermo Megatlon for 6 months. It was cheaper to go for the platinum pass but only by a few hundred pesos.
