Looking for guidance - apartment hunting

[lauren_michele]

Hi everyone,

I am moving (long term, hopefully) to BA in April and I'm wondering what the apartment hunt will be like. Right now I have a hostel booked for 10 days and I am hoping to get my apartment taken care of immediately. I don't really have a good idea of what to expect.

Does anyone have any guidance on how best to secure an apartment in BA? Ideally I would live in a safe neighborhood (San Telmo, Palermo, Recoleta) with locals - as one of my biggest goals with this move is to learn Spanish via full immersion.

Anyone currently living with BA locals and willing to chat a little about how you set this up?

You can take a look at airbnb or tripadvisor or similar sites.

Contact my friend Martha [email protected] She will help you find an apartment and take good care of you. She's a local, married to an American.

I am from USA and have an apt in Palermo new building furnished nicely, pool, asado grill, cable, wifi and TV good location $750.00 month US. Be selective and deal with professionals. Take your time. Do everything in writing. If you are interested in seeing my unit which is available now let me know. Enjoy BA. Richard

For San Telmo, Casa San Telmo. Mercedes has a big price range to choose from.

Mike (the mike in the above link) is a frequent contributor to TripAdvisor and I have known him because of that for more than a few years. He is a straight shooter and runs a respectable business. You would not go wrong doing business with him whether rental or purchase.
