Flat For January And February W/ A/c

[lucha54]

I am in my first place (6 mo short term small one bedroom in Recoleta) from homeaway website. As with Noruega, I contacted the owner by email and we negotiated a price. She was asking U$S1,000 and accepted $8.500 pesos/mo which at the time was about U$S567/mf course, the peso has gone against me and rent is U$S640 this month! Furnished, balcony, upper floor, no problems yet with fibertel or anything else, one month deposit. This building has 54 units and only 20% of owners live in them - the rest are rented, but no idea what they go for.

Wow you really lucked out!!!

Sorry Noruega I didn't mean to say that they only list in dollars and they won't accept pesos, just that whatever they decided was the rental price before the whole currency-exchange-blockade is pretty much what they try to keep to, even if they rent in pesos. It's not like they convert at the official rate what they had in mind for their place in dollars... do you get what I mean? Let's say they list it in USD but they say you can pay in pesos ; they usually don't convert the price to pesos at the official rate. They may convert to somewhere in between if they are desperate for a renter for some reason (good chance of this though during summer months as owners get desperate to get their places rented before leaving the city).

Speaking of At Buenos Aires, I would like to know if anyone has had any success with them. The only experience I had with them was that they list fake ads on Zona Prop, pictures of beautiful apartments at affordable prices and then you call to inquire about the one where the listing has literally just gone live, and they say, "no, that one has already been reserved, but we have many more you may be interested in" which I think is really sneaky and terrible. So I just wanted to put the word out about that if you are in the midst of a flat hunt ... but also let anyone prove me wrong by saying if they had a positive experience with that agency.

I've had exactly that experience with that agency.
