Posts: 29Anyone have experience with Baires Apt.
Does anyone have any experience with the (GUC) apartment in Recoltea on J. M. Gutierrez Between Lapida & Aguero?
I have been told it's very nice.
Are the Baires people decent to deal with?

Venues: 398Greetings everyone,
I moved Bizzie's question about Recoleta vs Palermo to a new thread.
http://www.argentinaprivate.com/foru...ead.php?t=5302
Bizzie, the next time you want to start a new subject, first use the forum's search function to look for an existing thread on your proposed subject, and if not, then start a new thread.
Whatever you do, please don't change the subject of an existing thread.
Thanks,
Jackson

Posts: 1064Syd Is Talking About A 50 Meter 1/1
ROCK--Sid has a point. Sid has lots of time to search out bargins. I have rented from Jackson and Bad. Possiblly for a 3 month rental they are not a bargin if you are walking in Sid's shoes. For Bob that are generally ok, especially if they run a promotion.
I have been in 3 of Jackson's 4 apartments. Top buildings--at least one full level above Rock's apartment in terms of finish, elegance and location. On a per meter price, for 50 meters--a typical 1/1-- your break even is under us$500 per month; therefore, us$750 per month would not be a crazy price to rent in your building for a 50 meter 1 bedroom/1 bath.
Bart's Castex apart looks like a dump compared to Jackson's and everyone one of Bad's apartments I've seen. Rock's place is like a palace compared to the fotos of Barts castex. Bart's also has beautiful apartments that are on the very top end of the market.
My sense of the market is that time, experience and your needs play a major role in the pricing. Sid has the time to look; doesn't care about the design of the lobby nor if the appartment is in the most elegant part of Recoleta with the highest prices.
I tend to rent for 1 to 2 weeks maybe 3 to 5 times per year. I don't want to be by Abasto--the only place that I have been robbed on the street in about 30+ trips to BA. When Jackson or Bad have a special, I am very happy with their pricing. If I lived in BA and was looking to rent for 3 months and had lot's of time to look, I'm sure I could do better in a less elegant neighborhood.
Reynolds has a very large range of pricing and is reliable. ByT has many apartments in the range that Sid is discussing--I personally might be a little worried to rent a bargin for 3 months with out seeing it first, especially with ByT. There are ads in Clarin that offer cheaper rentals, but you have to do your own investigation--sid can do that. This is not Jackson, Bad's nor Bart's market.
Congradualations Sid--you have found bargins. I can't look for the same type of bargins because I don't have time in BA to go bargin shopping. You stopped dealing with Mike Koh because you out grew him. I guess that you have outgrown some other agencies that are geared more to client's like me.
Sid--I'll be in BA for two weeks the end of April or the beginning of may, 2009:
Can you find me an apartment like yours for US$500 for two weeks?--I'll wire you a deposit today and pay you a commission. On top of the us$500. After you tell me to forget it, I'll see if Jackson, Bad or Barts has any specials becuase I trust them more than to go bargin hunting for a two week stay. If your landlord has any availability for my type of busniess, I'm ready to try your approach--if and only if --someone local will check out the apartment or sid I'll gladly accept your word if you know the place and the landlord.

Posts: 751Mongers,
Just as a frame of reference, I will list my monthly expenses here or my roughly 200 square meter apartment located in Recoleta.
Building Expenses: $750 AR.
Directv: $215 AR.
Electricity: $250 AR.
LandLine: $100 AR.
Gas: $25 AR.
Internet: $120 AR.
Maid: $500 AR.
Vonage: $50 AR.
Water: $40 AR.
ABL: $130 AR.
So all that totals to about $2180 AR, or about $623 USD at the current exchange rate. Keep in mind this is for a premium apartment on a 2 year lease denominated in PESOS, with guarantor. Add on the rent, which next month will rise from $3700 AR to $4400 AR as per the 20% inflation clause for the second year of the contract. So the grand total for this apartment is $6580 AR per month, or $1880 USD at today's rate. So if Jackson or Badbreath were renting this apartment for me, they would have to rent it for $1900 USD per month just to BREAK EVEN.

$75 USD per month to pay for all of the expenses for a single rental apartment?
If you're fucking with me, stop now.

Posts: 1657The reality is.
Monthly Direct TV and internet bill combined are about $ 100 USD. Add in building expenses, cleaning costs, ABL taxes, doorman tip, phone bill, recently increased electric bill etc and you will quickly find yourself in the > $ 500 USD a month range. If you add in apartment maintenance and repair costs, you will quickly surpass that figure.

My point is that the owner of the apartment you rented was apparently satisfied with having a tenant who would pay the bills.
Anyway, please keep us posted as to your future success in finding free apartments as it will serve as an indicator to the rest of us to get out of the apartment rental business.
Thanks,
Jackson
PS: For yout next trick, I challenge you to find a Cabana las Lilas quality restaurant with menu prices equalling the grocery store's prices.

I just wanted the record to reflect that...
1. You send me an email inquiring if I had any apartments available.
2. I responded within a few hours with links to two apartments.
3. You responded back that your budget was $25 USD per night.
This was an impossiblly low number that no one was able to meet.
Thanks,
Jackson
