I❤B A but nowadays under any reason whatsoever one shouldn’t pay more than a US$ 1,000 monthly for a very nice 1 bedroom apartment in a great area.
I think so too especially now that I have lived here long enough. But unfortunately, a lot of the people I know pay more than 1k (mostly foreigners) for their flat a month. If you look at Airbnb today, there are still rentals that go beyond 1k. Although my next flat was only $600 around the same area, but a studio without amenities.
I heard 1800 a month and my brain melted
That price here it would be in puerto madero or a luxury tower.. but you get nice places por 450/500/600$ here 100 dolares are 100.000 pesos but also is not so much money..
Congratulations on having such a gorgeous home.
Thank you so much! Although just a few a little bit of time. I’m glad and lucky to have experienced it. 😇
Muy bonito apartamento en Buenos Aires!! te felicito porque conseguir algo así no es tan fácil.
Muchas gracias. Aprecio tus amables palabras. ¡Me encanta este apartamento!
para un extranjero con dolares es muy facil
My left ear really enjoyed this 😂
Lmao! Yes yes. Best viewed without earphones/headphones. I apologize haha mic was set to 1 channel only 😅
You should be LL Cool J. This video is great and very helpful for my upcoming plans. Didn’t have Palermo Hollywood in my sights
Hahaha that’s like a cool nickname. I grew up with LL Cool J 😅 Palermo Hollywood is a great neighborhood. Enjoyed my stay here. 😇
Thank you so much and I’m glad you found this vid helpful.
When you said its 1,800 a month with all the things included i was mind blown.. while watching the vid i though it was gonna be around $4,500 or more! we live in georgia and we pay $1,500 (wifi,tap,heating NOT INCLUDED!!!) for a little apartment where EVERYTHING is broken... Argentina really is cheap. holy freaking crap!!!
This is even a bit expensive in Argentina. You can comfortably live in a $600-$800 apartment with the same amenities as this one if you don't rent through Airbnb .
If you think Buenos Aires is cheap you have yo see the prices of the rest of Argentina.
@@albertochavez7631 really? dang
@@colonelnoah yes bro, you can live in this country with lees than 500 USD per month for sure. I just watched a video of a couple moving from Russia and they have a passive income of 500 and that's more than enough.
@@colonelnoah thanks to the power of the USD/Euro a lot of people choose to live here so they can save money. I met people from USA who worked in IT that came here to save money and now they even have the Argentine citizenship.
It is quite expensive for Argentina. But I guess that if you only speak English, the minute the realize you are a foreigner they will double the price. They did on my face in BA once. You can get that same unit for half the price thru a local friend.
Definitely expensive for Argentina standard. I got this apartment through Airbnb. And yes, I didn’t have any friends to help me and the Facebook rentals don’t have this type of apartment. Also they require other documents I can’t provide like a local ID. But I did find a way cheaper apartment after here that’s I think good for the price to apartment ratio.
Sweet set-up there! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! Will be creating apartment tours in most of the counties I’ll be living moving forward.
Hey LJ. I am a Pinoy who used to live in Rio de Janeiro, and I'm so glad I stumbled on this vlog. The apartment looks very good, but I guess the price was too high. Anyway I'm thinking of spending a few months in Buenos Aires in the future, so I look forward to your future vlogs.
I’m glad you did. And yes, it was definitely as splurge on the apartment. There will be a few more BA content coming up. Thank you for subscribing. 😊
Wow, that's such a great apt, sure it's "expensive" but considering that's through airbnb and with all the nonsense with the different exchange rates I don't think its that bad. hope you enjoy living in Bs As, it's such a beautiful city, How long are you planing to stay there?
Yeah, I really wanted my first apartment to just breeze through with all the process of renting. And Airbnb was my easiest route. As of today, I’m already out of BA, lived there for approximately 3 months. I did have an amazing time there! I have a few more vlogs coming. 😊
Nice
Thanks
Beautiful place, something to be proud of. Just for reference, what currency were you talking about when you said $1,800.00 a month?
This was in USD. It is indeed a beautiful space. 😇
Thank you for pronouncing foyer correctly.
I hope I did it justice 😅
Great Job Travel Enjoy 🇦🇷
Thank you! Argentina is amazing 😇
How are you able to lock the slide door of the guest bathroom?
There's a notch on the door that you can pull up or down.
nice one, keep going bro!
Thanks man! 👍 Gonna try my best.
That’s really nice man I can’t wait to travel full time and live good out of the states
In perfect time my friend. It will happen. 🙌
Hey , can you share the Airbnb lisiting ? Would be curious to take a look
Sure! abnb.me/h9QZHTqO1Eb That’s the link, not sure if it will work here. If not just copy paste on the browser. 😇
Ka nice sa place. 🥰
Yes! It truly is 🥰 I had a great stay. 🤩
@@ljchosen Loving your life! 🥰
Oh thanks! 😇
Looks really awesome!
It truly was! Just a bit too expensive for me in the long run. I’m glad I get to stay here at least for a little while though.
Is it true it’s extremely hard for a foreigner to open a bank account ? I’ve heard this in other videos about BA, but I’m wondering if someone who gets direct deposit as in SS /retired government check each month I wonder if that’s better
Thanks
Most banks require a social security number, which non-citizens don't have. This is the most common problem that foreigners realize. However, larger banks such as US Bank, TD Bank, Bank of America, Chase, and Wells Fargo will allow non-residents to set up a checking account and a savings account. Although they are more likely to scrutinize dollar accounts.
You had me at “where the magic happens”…. In the kitchen 🤣😂😂 also, all-black wardrobe, spoken like a true New Yorker 😆
Hahaha I gotta say it! MTV Cribs 90s days 😂😂😂
And of course, NYC represent 🗽
Looks really cool
Yeah, I enjoyed this place a lot! 😊
Beautiful
Thank you!
Hey LJ, gf and I have been staying in an Airbnb in BA for the past couple of months. About to begin looking for longer term local rentals. We saw your video and love the layout of this condo -- would love to check out if there's any off-Airbnb rentals available. What's the name of the condo building?
Hey! It’s called FLATS in Argentina. And that’s the address - Paraguay 5635, Buenos Aires, Argentina. There where a few vacant units when I was there. I hope you guys find one. Best of luck guys! 👍
Thanks!
Hi,
Thank you for your video! Any pointers on flights? Is there an airline you prefer? I will be flying to Argentina from California. I would appreciate any help. Million Thanks!
Hey, you're welcome! I took an Avianca flight with a lay-over in Bogota (1 and 45 minutes lay-over) but my flight was delayed, so it was a rush to transfer to the next flight. Although, they know and waited for every passenger connecting to Buenos Aires. Service was good, not the best not the worst either. I was lucky to be upgraded to business class because of the delay.
So, Avianca can be an option for you from California . Just watch out for the lay-over times, I'd suggest longer than 2 hours to be safe. You still have to go through security check during your lay-over.
You also have AirMexico, COPA and LATAM from LA. I've flew with them multiple times and I feel like they have the same service as Avianca. Also in the affordable category.
Also I think there are American airline companies like United, AA, etc. They tend to be more expensive.
And btw, check your flights if they offer free food. Coz depending on the flight and ticket you bought, food is not free. But they sell it on the flight. I had a cold ham and cheese sandwich as a meal on a business seat, that's it. lol
I hope this helps a bit.
Enoy Argentina!👍🌞There is a lot to see beyond BA!
Thank you so much! And yes, been to two other places. And it’s wonderful. I know I barely scratched the surface 😊
It amazes me how an industrial modern home (2,000+ quare foot) in Merída, Mexico is way cheaper than this apartment in Palermo, Argentina, considering the money exchange. 🤔
(Merída is just a short flight away from Florida)
I looked into it also on why the price was that high. Unlike almost everything here, rental for foreigners in BA (short-term) is almost tripled especially if you get it through Airbnb. One way to get the “local” pricing is going through the DNI route (you have to get a local ID) and use the local rental agencies or sites. I have a friend (local) who lives here in BA, she has a modern high rise building, 1 bed room with amenities and her rent is $800. I looked at Airbnb on the same building and it’s $1750.
@@ljchosen ••• you can probably also use Facebook for local listing. 😉
@@J.D.Vision Yep, did that for my second rental. It’s amazing what Facebook can do 😄 Although most of the rentals still require DNI for short term. But if you pay cash in advance for the whole stay, it’s negotiable. 😁
@@Dave-qi3ft You need to be a permanent resident (apply for a residency) to quality for the DNI.
All those foreigners who are entitled to enter and stay in Argentina can start the procedure to issue the ID, “Documento Nacional de Identidad” (DNI) for foreigners, in Argentina.
The DNI can be issued by two means:
- “Por ventanilla unica”: This way, you can start the residency and the DNI procedures together. This can be done in the head office entitled by the “Dirección Nacional de Migraciones” (DNM) [Migration office].
- The traditional way: This way is for those who wish to take the DNI and their residency is already done. This can be done in the offices of the Public Registries or “Centros de Documentación rápida” authorized by the DNM. In the interior of the country, all Civil Registries are authorized to issue the DNI.
@@Dave-qi3ft You are welcome. I’m happy to help in my own way. 😇
Hi, thanks for sharing. Do you speak Spanish? Fellow Pinoy here.
I speak enough to get around. But not that fluent. Although I understand more. Sometimes it’s needed here coz I’ve had encounters when no English was spoken at all. Google translate helps too lol
Living in a dream Boss 😉
Trying to live the dream 😊 Thanks!
How much is buying a good condominium in La Plata
I would love help but unfortunately I don’t have info on buying properties. 🙏🏼
Hey just curious, what neighborhood is this?
This is in Palermo Hollywood.
hi can I buy one apartment from Canada in argentina as a mortgage I don't know how to buy one ,can you explained to me thank you.
Hey Eduardo, as much as I want to help you out, my knowledge in property acquisition is very limited. I feel that I’m not qualified to give any advice. I apologize.
@@ljchosen not worries my friend ,are you still in my country? I am in Canada for 32 years but it's nice to se videos like this.
@@eduardosanchez2130 Unfortunately, I already left. It had a been a great few months! Although I will be posting a few more Argentina content. I hope you’ll enjoy the rest of them. And your country is beautiful 👏👏👏
@@ljchosen thank you it’s a beautiful country but things are not going the good right now,Keep posting more videos I love watching them, thank you brother.
You American s really don't know how to research the market. Paying that much in Buenos market is total waste of money
Lesson learned. AirBnb is our easiest route. And the price range for high end rental is around that price. I moved to another apartment after a month for $600.
How much do you pay for your rent?
@@ljchosen Can I get similar type of apartment for 600€ a month directly from owner?
@@max0192 Possibly, maybe around 800 for a similar loft type. My next rental was 600 but it wasn’t like this one but they are in the same neighborhood.
Try Mercadolibre as a tool to compare prices and also Facebook. There are Facebook groups for property rental in CABA (ie Solo Dueños C.A.B.A). Good luck!
@@ljchosen Are you even allowed to move to a different apartment after just one month? Isn't it against the terms of the lease agreement?
@@pinetworkminer8377 yes because I used Airbnb. Hence the prices were a bit higher. If it was a long term lease thru a local agency, I wouldn’t be allowed to transfer. Also I don’t have an official ID (DNI) to rent locally.
How much a turist would pay for day in palermo hollywood?
Depends on what you do there. My budget was $10USD (no party, budget restaurants) $30 (good food, bars at night)
🤩Gorgeous space.. and electricity included? Time to get a crypto mining rig :P
Hahaha that would be ideal! Yeah the place is great. It came with a rooftop pool ,gym and sauna too 😅
That 1800 usd?
Yeah. It’s 1,800 USD.
@@ljchosen I am shock I thought Argentina would give better value for your money
@@lafayettewatts7805 Only because I got this place through Airbnb. There are way cheaper rentals though. My next studio is about $600 only. Although it’s not a loft like this.
Your videos would be perfect if you eliminated the music
Noted. Thank you.
1800$🤯
Yep 😬
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $1800 ???????????? = OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! This is a splurge on my first month in Buenos Aires. My studio apartment rental in New York City was $2750. So for me at this time I felt like I saved. But of course in know this was not sustainable for me in the long run.
Dude You're damn rich 😂
First month was like this.. then realized I don’t have enough for my year long budget so switched to a way affordable apartment.
@@ljchosen Well I was wondering in Faro, Portugal you could get a beautiful T1 apartment for 300€ only and I love my Portugal.
So I was thinking to live in Argentina if it's safe and Budget Friendly than I saw your video 😁.
@@muhammadhazikrabbani2697 There are great apartments ranging from $350 to $400 USD as long as you don’t rent them thru Airbnb. Facebook was a great tool in finding my other apartments. Does the €300 come with free internet, cable, water, heat and electricity? Or do you have to pay for them?
@@ljchosen Yes everything is included however I wanna know wether it's good time to be on Argentina.
As I have to complete my project in peace.
By the way thank you for your precious time.
You're the best 🤙.
It is clear you have not heard of ethical travel... when you overpay on rent, you are making it harder for the locals to afford an apartment, that is what tourists did in Costa Rica. 😞
You can assume what you know about me. I’ll give it that to you. But you also clearly don’t know me. And I’ll leave it at that. Have a great ethical life! ✌️
@@ljchosen If I know about you, like you said, then I am not assuming.... 😉
regardless... the point of my comment was not to incite a flame war, rather it was meant to make you aware the consequences of some of the actions tourists cause.
I hope that makes sense, and that you learn from it rather than take it personally and be offended by it. 🖖
@@el_Contra Then it’s clear that you don’t know me at all. 😕
But regardless, no hurt feelings on my end.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Peace! 🕊️
hi bro . can l take your instagram
