Luxury Buenos Aires Apartments – ‘what is the deal?’

There is no doubt that renting Luxury Buenos Aires Apartments for vacation or a business stopover is much better value than comparable hotel suites.

Buenos Aires Apartments – Versus – Buenos Aires Hotel Suites

A cost and space comparison:

BAStay.com ‘tells it like it is’ and discusses the pluses and minuses associated with luxury apartment vacation rental versus hotels and conclude that apartment rental is not for everyone, but during the coming months, economic uncertainty (lower cost apartments) might just change that view – ‘we will all be watching the pennies!’

The Buenos Aires apartments industry has grown substantially over the last five years.  At last count, we found nearly 147, 000 Google listings advertising or related to the search phrase ‘rent vacation apartments Buenos Aires’ but few websites that compete against Buenos Aires Stay LUXURY, we strongly believe that our enviable range of services are unrivalled.

The vacation apartment industry is generally professional and service is better than 2002 when we first rented apartments in Buenos Aires and found it cheap, but a real headache.  Without regulation, market forces and competition has meant that both the quality of apartments and the companies that sell them have improved enormously. 

Always research your agency of choice on the internet and read their Apartment Rental Terms & Conditions – VERY CAREFULLY (please).  Make sure that rents are final, and when you check-in, should the apartment not be as advertised the agency state clearly that you get a comparable apartment or your money back.  Again, if something should go wrong during your stay, make sure your agent has a published Complaint’s Procedure.  These points are just, if not more important, as the luxury Buenos Aires apartment rental you select.

From time to time, every company has the odd problem and luxury vacation apartments are not unlike our own homes and not without the odd hitch – how agents deal with those unforeseen occurrences, sorts the good from the bad.  It is important to add that third party service provision, anything the property owner or agents cannot control, is unreliable and time consuming to resolve, so apartments are not for those who demand immediate resolutions or people who expect to move immediately an insect pays them a visit, the internet fails, or they suffer a power cut on their street.  If you want hotel style care – go to a hotel and pay for that privilege – we are happy to both suggest and reserve your hotel suite.

Staying in a Buenos Aires hotel
We all know what hotels provide so we will not dwell long in this subject.  Generally, when you buy a hotel room, you are buying brand familiarity that is well constructed, well decorated, a cleanly furnished ‘clone’ with familiar rules and the security that if something goes wrong, the hotel will fix it immediately or move you to another room.  Your room is cleaned everyday and linens and towels replaced and as if magic, and all is well again when you come home to change or climb into bed –bliss?  Not for everyone, some of us find hotels ‘same-ole’ and value our home comforts - access to our favourite food direct from the fridge, home cooked meals, anonymity and privacy.  The other problem in South America is categorisation (apart from known chains).  Stars are just stars and often mean very little and those pluses stated above may not be available.

However, there is no doubt that your personal, your property security is generally good, and you benefit from room service, internet, mini-bar, sometimes a health club, sometimes a pool, and a concierge.  Most important to many people in the current economic climate is that you can use the old ‘plastic’ to pay from your dream holiday and face the music later.  Tried and tested, but not without their many problems, not least the cost being $500 to $1000 a night for the basic suite, the luxury hotel is fast losing ground in Buenos Aires and apartments are the vacationers number one choice, especially for a longer term Buenos Aires Stay.  If you are prepared to foot the bill, some apartments have all the services of a first class hotel and more – cook, servants, chauffer, and bodyguard – it is all available you just have to ask.  What is for sure, you will have change from renting a comparable hotel suite.

Luxury Buenos Aires Apartment Rental
The negatives that detract from the offer of a home-from-home, at a fraction of the cost of a hotel send those who do not have the pioneering give it a go spirit running for cover.  All over the internet, you can find complaints some valid, others blown out of all proportion - keep an open mind and going back to our first points – read an agency’s terms and conditions, look for cast iron pros that offer you some comfort and a published complaint’s procedure.
