Save yourself from being ripped off and a bad, nasty and petty experience.
Address: Catalina Marchi 7A in Canitas and 2144 Ravignani Piso A. These apartments are listed on many websites including Craigslist and offered by owner and many agencies at varying prices.
Landlord: Carlucci family.
Bottomline: Cheated out of deposit, called up to 11 times at midnight w/various yelling and threats by landlord if I don't pay the rent early (harassing as early as the 23rd of the month) and only willing to accept US dollars. Threatening legal action based on the contract.
DO NOT SIGN ANY CONTRACTS WITH THESE PEOPLE W/O A LAWYER REVIEWING.
I too started with a pleasant enough experience even though the apartment was stated as luxury it definitely was not. It looks nicer than most at first because everything is white-however everything is broken on closer look so do your diligence.
WATCH OUT FOR:
Gross mattresses, if the broken springs don't leave you sore and sleepless you will have nightmares from the stains.
-Every drawer is broken so you can't actually open and close it for practical use.
-Every door handle is rotted off so if you actually turn the handle it falls off and can lock you in if it doesn't fall completely off
- Broken closet doors that can fall on you while sleeping
-Appliances I would not let my food touch and getting charged for a broken blender
-Oh, and fake internet. It said internet included but it was a wireless from a different floor that didn't work. When I installed my own they had it shut off to extort more money since they knew I worked out of home.
-When I deducted the deposit from the last payment as I noticed they got flaky towards the end, they were en masse (their friends or whatever) harrassing and intimidating.
-They promised to give back deposit as they said they are serious business people. They would give my deposit back in my same envelope and hopefully not counterfeit $$. THEY DID NOT.
Claimed wear and tear on crappy towels to start with.
OH, AND THE ENTIRE KITCHEN TILE WALL SPONTANEOUSLY COLLAPSED AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE ETHICAL ENCARGADO WE WOULD HAVE BEEN FINED BY THE RIP OFF LANDLORDS FOR DAMAGING IT.
ELECTRICITY SHOCKS YOU AND BLEW OUT MY ROUTER AND COMPUTER EVEN WITH A MEGA SURGE AND TRANSFORMER.
Overall just unreal-don't be fooled by wolves in sheep clothing. Argentina is too wonderful of an experience to be ruined by being involved with the Carlucci family in these apartments.
REALLY JUST DON'T BOTHER, MANY OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE BETTER.
