Cordoba, Argentina apartment rentals?

Postby mainstreetexile » December 4th, 2008

Sorry if this has been answered before, I searched but didn't find what I was looking for.

I found a nice thread that gave good advice and specific sites for finding apartment rentals in Buenos Aires, but I'm curious: does anyone have any advice or experience renting an apartment in Cordoba (or any other nice town in Argentina)?

My girlfriend and I are planning on flying into Buenos Aires in/around february and renting an apartment there for 1-2 months and looking at different options for places to stay in Argentina (or surrounding countries) after that. My only requirement is that the apartment has high speed internet access so that I can keep in touch with work back in the states.

I speak limited spanish (my girlfriend speaks more), but I'm planning on trying to learn more and may also take some lessons while we're there.

Any advice and specific recommendations for sites/rental agents/apartment owners to contact would be great. So far the only site I've seen is: http://www.departamentocordoba.com.ar/

The rental sites we've been watching for BsAs are: http://www.adelsur.com and http://www.buenosairesstay.com/

Thanks for any help!

I've visited Cordoba a few times since I have family there but I never rented an apartment.

I did rent several apartments in BsAs. I also needed high speed internet in the apt for work.

We rented all of our apartments from BYT Argentina. From my research, they seemed to be the biggest company. We had a problem in one apartment where the internet didn't work. They had no problem refunding the balance of our money and moving us to a new place.

Paul, thanks for the advice. I've seen BYT Argentina mentioned elsewhere with positive reviews, so it seems like that's a safe bet. It also seems like they have pretty good rates comparable to other apartment agencies I've seen (I don't expect to be getting a local price or anything).

I'm glad to hear about their response to the non-working internet, I was curious about how that might work since their site (and most sites) seem to absolve the rental agency and apartment owners of responsibility for that.

Do you have any recommendations for neighborhoods in BsAs or actual apartments? Based on what I've read, we're leaning towards Palermo Viejo.
