About the gas valve in the kitchen: don't know if the owner told you that, but it's pretty normal for the valve to stay open all the time (you only close it when you travel, or stay out of the apt for weeks). In fact, moving the valve on/off everyday is not that good for safety. You should ask! :)

Thanks so much for posting this. I always wanted to know about Apartments in Buenos Aires. I really want to visit there so much and really want to move. $500 isn't bad! I'm just trying to grow my KZfaq and expand my own Digital nomad experience, but not sure what kind of online job is easy enough to apply for. But this video is perfect. Very clean apartment, love how you have it organized and decorated including your work areas! 👍 Being born in Brooklyn, I know how bad prices can get in New York. It's great seeing fellow New Yorkers going to a city that looks reminiscent of New York and how you both work it! The economy there is bad, but around the world it's also starting to get rough. I really just wanna get out of the US... Great video, thoroughly enjoyed your tour with your Dog & Cat! 🐕🐈

There’s a lot of opportunities here for digital nomaders, I hope you’ll be able to visit one day! $500 (that we split) compared to our rent in NY is a huge saving point for us every month!

Guys I suggest you to talk to your landlord about you buying a desk and a chair and deduct it from the rent, some owners are ok with doing that transaction (once you move, you leave the desk and chair in the apartment) (:

What is the name of that area? Oh I see in the comments section. Thanks. You mentioned it in your video but understand one thing. Hearing it and seeing the name is a different thing. Remember how you edited your video regarding the kitchen door. You may want to do the same in various areas of your video to not receive repeated questions. Like the spelling of the city upon mentioning it. Also people want to know how to find places. Sites etc. One site I found helpful is zonapropar. It helps tremendously. One last note. The 3 month contract is not a good thing if you are planning long term. Having a landlord increase rent every 3 months is never good especially in Buenos Aires Great apartment

@Rezan01 Жыл бұрын
Hello, honestly 500 seems a bit much for that department. Another thing, they should not charge them in dollars, they should charge them in pesos. In this way, the value of the department decreases and adjusts. Don't be scammed. The apartment is nice, but the fact that the owner keeps things there seems inappropriate to me, it seems to me that if they look for more, they could get something better. Remember, in Argentina there is no price standard, you can haggle and get more things.

For sure 500 is too much for that apartment, specially in Balvanera. You can get a 2 bedroom 2 baths 50 square meters plus in the best neighborhoods for 350/400usd or even less. Or even a small house if you´re willing to go to "Zona Norte" near Genral Paz.

Greetings from Nassau Bahamas! I liked your video. However, I disagree about laundromats. Laundromats are so cheap all over Argentina that, unless you like doing laundry (If so, we're probably from different planets.), there's no reason to do your own laundry. I'm surprised that your landlord didn't require a DNI. I'm hoping that I can get a DNI even if I only live in Argentina for 6 months each year.
@chanelmeyerr6 ай бұрын
We haven’t had the best experiences with laundromats as when washing blankets they’ve lost ours and when they’ve told it it’ll only take 2 days, it ended up being close to a week. We don’t mind doing laundry and like being able to wash our clothes whenever :)
@nadiapitarch5870Ай бұрын
I prefer to do my own laundry at home as well. First of all, hygiene reasons, my clothes don't get mixed with other's. I get to choose what kind of washing programme I like, I separate my clothes by my own preferance or convenience, or by the kind of fabric, color, etc. If there's a stain I can pre-wash it or treat it with special products, I can take care of the clothes. Plus, I don't have to be carrying big bags of clothes, sheets, towels through the elevator, the streets, minding schedules of dropping or picking it up. I see nothing but pros 😅
