Here are links to three agencies that include apartment rentals among their services. I have never used any of them, but I have seen them mentioned by others.

> > > I have been living in hostels for 4 months in Buenos Aires and I am ready to get my own place. I have been searching extensively for cheap rooms, nothing fancy but I cannot find anything for under 300 US$. I have given up searching online because I know prices are geared towards tourists so that has led me to look in the Clarin and La Nacion newspapers but to no avail there either with prices. I know people who have rented cheap apartments in the center and other barrios for like 200 US$. Where is this magical fountain of youth with these cheap places to live?.
*** Real estate and therefore rental rates have been the one sector that keeps rising year after year. I think the last stat I saw was that although the general wage has remained stagnant for the past 5 years, the value of real estate has increased abour 5%-7% per year. And that is in US$, not pesos. Once you adjust for the currency conversion, the real estate / renting issue gets really nasty.

What do you get for U.S. $ 350 to $ 400 per month? How many bedrooms and bathrooms and how many square meters of living space? Will the apartment at that price be air-conditioned? Will it be a security building with a 24-hour guard or night guard? Washing machine and dryer in the unit or is there a laundry room on the premises? How much "extra money" on average are air-conditioning, electric, and gas. What is the TOTAL average cost for one month for the rent, air-con, electric, and gas? What other "normal" expenses, if any, exist which are unique to renting by the month as opposed to staying in a hotel, guesthouse, or hostel.

As most travellers on this forum are always searching for the cheapest of the cheapest services the figure I mention is just for a humble flat.

Mr. Steve, We paid U$ 600 for a 1 bedroom in Palermo. Very central, two blocks from Av. Santa Fe, in a secure, locked building, with a/c in the bedroom, ceiling fan, dining table, and sofa bed in the living room. Kitchen fully equipped (with microwave), too. Hot water and bidet in the bath. Maid service once a week, free local calls, all expenses (gas, utilities) included. Rented from BYTargentina.

no other expenses existed beside the U$30, or so agency fee. We also opted for airport pickup which was around U$ 25. A monthly deposit is required, in cash, upon renting, but I haven't heard any incident of people not getting their deposits back from them. To answer your other questions, there sometimes aren't night guards but the porters spend a lot of time in the lobbies so it seems pretty safe. Also, our building didn't have a laudry room, but it was ridiculously cheap to send our laundry out to be washed. We had a lavaderia right on our street so it was pretty convenient to just drop it off, rather than stick around doing it ourselves.
