Where to Find Digital Nomad Apartments in Buenos Aires

It is honestly not that easy to find suitable accommodation in Buenos Aires for digital nomads. Airbnb is a good start but there are a lot of small, overly-priced apartments that you need to filter out. Vrbo and Booking are other options that you can use to help you find an apartment.

The first thing you should do is to narrow down an area in which you would like to stay. I would definitely recommend the area of Palermo to a digital nomad spending a few months in Buenos Aires. Palermo is a beautiful neighborhood with plenty to do and with coworking spaces and cafés.

What neighborhood to stay in Buenos Aires?

As I said above, Palermo is the best option for a 3-month stay in Buenos Aires. I highly recommend staying anywhere near the Botanic gardens as you get the best of Palermo while still having easy access to buses heading into the city center.

Another good area is near “Parque Las Heras”, though, for the main eating options, I would try to base myself closer to Plaza Serrano. Another good neighborhood for a digital nomad to stay in is Belgrano. Find out more about Belgrano in our article here.

Where to find an apartment in Buenos Aires?

There are a ton of apartments to find on Airbnbs in Palermo and all around Buenos Aires. I suggest that you don’t overwhelm yourself by picking an area and looking there.

We chose to base ourselves close to Plaza Italia and we found an Airbnb one block away from Avenida Santa Fé. This was a really good idea in hindsight as our 2-month stay in Buenos Aires was so good because we were in the right location.

📍 Plaza Italia

Our coworking was only a few blocks away and we had lovely restaurants and cafés on our doorstep. It was also easy to catch a bus to all of the other neighborhoods on Avenida Santa Fé (The bus is very very cheap in Argentina!).

There are also some lovely places in excellent locations on Vrbo. Look at this one in the heart of Palermo Soho.

How much is an apartment to rent in Buenos Aires?

The price of apartments in Buenos Aires can vary dramatically. You can find apartments for anything between $300 and $10,000 per month. The average one-bedroom apartment is around $2,000 a month though we found one considerably cheaper than that and it was fine.

One strategy is to take advantage of the fact that you don’t always need to pay online with booking.com. If you can pay in cash in Argentina, you can take advantage of the special exchange rate.

Final thoughts

Buenos Aires is an amazing location for a digital nomad. The low cost of living allows you to live a really high standard of living in a lively city. There is almost no other city in the world where you can live cheaply and still enjoy everything a city has to offer.

Enjoy your time there and when looking for an apartment make sure it is in a good location to make the most of your stay.
