When I traveled down to Buenos Aires back in 2006, I rented a studio apartment for $250 per month. That same studio apartment is available when Maggie and I arrive in October, so we’ll be renting it for at least the first 6 weeks we are in BA. Inflation has been really high over the past several years, so we’ll be paying $400 for a month.
Here are several pictures of what it looked like then. We are really hoping it isn’t red anymore! Either way, we’ll take it for the 6 weeks.
Looking up to the entrance from the outside stairs.
The owner, Graciela, thought it would be good to pose for future advertising of the room, but this photo fails in so many ways. It's the only one I have to show what this side of the room looks like.
The kitchenette.
The sliding glass door is the only entrance and window. The wood floors are nice.
It's got AC and a TV that didn't really work.
Smallest bathroom I've ever been in. It's a wet room really, meaning that there's no shower curtain. See my shampoo there?
The view.
This is the place we’ll call home for our first 6 weeks in Buenos Aires. I can’t imagine staying there beyond that. But, it will be hard to find something larger for the same price.

The apartment isn’t located in the most hip or interesting of neighborhoods. It’s in a neighborhood called San Cristobal. If you zoom in on the map in satellite mode, you’ll see actual satellites on the roof of the TV station next door. They film some popular TV shows there.

Are you serious! That’s so crazy that you’ll be staying in the same place!
Looks cozy! I am voting that you not take Bayla since that apartment seems a wee bit cramped.
HA! We have news on Bayla, but that has to wait for a future post.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do…All things will come in time.
