Apartment rentals in Buenos Aires are BIG business and there are many different resources you can use to find one that works for you. Here is a list of some of the best sources for finding temporary, long-term, luxury, and vacation apartment rentals.

OLX – Free Online Classifieds – As is obvious from the title, this is an online classifieds site, and the apartment rentals section is used frequently by Argentines and foreigners alike. It is usually in Spanish, so if you don´t speak Spanish, it may be a problem. Be sure to select the type of apartment rental that interests you and the neighborhood you want to live in.

Craigslist – Free Online Classifieds – another online classifieds site, though not set up as well as OLX. It has a good selection of apartments of all types, but tends to be geared towards tourists, and therefore prices are usually higher. Ads are almost always posted in English though, making it easier to navigate for some people.

Solo Dueños – Probably the best site for looking for temporary and long-term rentals in Buenos Aires because you are dealing directly with the owners. This means less mark-up which you find with the other websites, which are usually run by real estate companies (known as Inmobiliarias). The website is well set-up, but only in Spanish.

You can also search Google for Apartment Rentals in Buenos Aires, and you will find a lot of sites renting out temporary, luxury and vacation apartments. Most of the ones you find will be very expensive, but if you are looking for a high-end place, this is a good option.

If you are already in Buenos Aires, you can go to the Inmobiliarias, which are located all over the place. I don’t recommend them, because they charge a very large fee to help you rent a place. However, they do make the search process easy if you are willing to pay the extra money.

Clarin and La Nacion Classifieds – these are the two major newspapers in Buenos Aires. Both sites are well set-up and easy to use, though La Clarín does a better job of separating the apartment rentals into the basic groups, such as temporary rentals, vacation rentals, etc. Both sites are only in Spanish, so be prepared to speak Spanish if you contact any of them.

Temporary furnished apartments are the best option if you are planning on staying in Buenos Aires for less than a year. It is easy to find one in any neighborhood that interests you, and they come with all the furniture you´ll need, and rarely do you have to pay any fees other than the rent – internet, cable, gas, electricity, local phone, and water are all included. Nevertheless, keep in mind that not all places include heat or air conditioning.

The main advantage of renting a temporary furnished apartment in Buenos Aires is that they are nearly hassle free. There is no need to have the dreaded garantia; all you need to do is meet the landlord, pay a deposit, and you have the apartment and everything you need to go with it.

The downside to renting a temporary apartment in Buenos Aires is that they are highly overpriced. Although there are temporary apartments for rent all over the place, the market is extremely hot because of so many tourists that come to live for an extended period of time. It is very difficult for these tourists to rent any accommodation other than temporary apartments, due to leases requirements and the need of a guarantor. This basically forces them to pay the high prices. Now it is nearly impossible to find a small, poorly furnished studio apartment for under $500, and if the trend of the last few years continues, these prices will continue to rise quickly. The other drawback of a furnished apartment is that they are not always well furnished, especially in the kitchens. The mattresses can sometimes be very poor quality, and it is not uncommon to find a place that is decorated in a way that would please your grandma.

Keep in mind that the best time to look for apartment rentals is right at the beginning of summer (end of November/beginning of December). This is because so many University students leave for the summer, leading to a huge increase in the number of apartments available for rent. Likewise, the worst time to look for apartments is at the beginning of the school year (end of February/beginning of March) because all the students return to Buenos Aires and begin looking for an apartment.

As long as you are willing to spend the money, you will never have a problem renting an apartment in Buenos Aires. The difficulty is finding a decent, affordable place to rent.
