The city that invented the temporary-rental market, minus the OTA fee stack. Verified hosts, USD monthly pricing, one clean cancellation policy.
| Barrio | 1BR / month | 2BR / month |
|---|---|---|
| Villa Crespo / San Telmo / Caballito | $380–800 | $600–1,100 |
| Recoleta / Belgrano / Colegiales | $500–1,000 | $750–1,400 |
| Palermo Soho / Hollywood | $600–1,100 | $900–1,600 |
USD pricing is the market convention. Expensas + wifi conventionally included. January (empty city): 10–20% softer.
| Booking direct | Typical OTA | |
|---|---|---|
| Listed monthly rate | $800 | $890 (nightly × 30, padded) |
| Guest service fee | $0 | $105–140 |
| Cleaning fee framing | Included | $40–80 added |
| You pay | $800 | $1,035–1,110 |
Alquiler temporario (you): 1–6 months, furnished, USD-priced, expensas/utilities/wifi bundled, one month deposit, passport suffices. Alquiler tradicional (not you): 2–3 year unfurnished leases in pesos with ICL indexation and a local property garantía — the reason even porteños struggle to rent. If a listing asks for a garantía for a 2-month stay, walk away; that's the wrong market or a scam.
1. Live video tour of the exact unit before money moves — Facebook-group deposit fraud is BA's classic. 2. No "reservation fees" to hold sight-unseen. 3. Timestamped codeword clip from the host. 4. Reverse-image-search the photos. 5. 40% under market is bait. RentiHome makes all five unnecessary: verified hosts, Stripe payments, written cancellation terms.
