¡Hola Alexandra! I'm from Rosario, Argentina. Rosario is the second most important city in Argentina. Regarding renting apartments in Rosario, all depends on the term of your rental contract. Regular contracts for local persons have a duration of 2 years. Under this kind of contracts nowadays in Rosario the minimum price you can pay for an apartment it's perhaps USD 350 per month including all utilities. You also have the temporary modality that is more expensive. Prices under this modality with all utilities and furniture included may range between USD 650 and UDS 1000 per month. There are some other options. For example, for the students coming to study at my school of Spanish for foreigners Che Rosario Spanish School http://www.cherosariospanish.com I usually help them to get some home stay or family stay option. You may pay under this modality between USD 350 and USD 600 per month. Also, you have the option of staying at hostels, hotels and bed and breakfasts. Send me a message whenever you want if you need my help or further details.
Regards,
Juan

I dont think that´s possible dude. One of my friends from France came to BA two months ago and we spent a lot of time looking for something cheap, and believe me, if there´s something cheap is sh*t!
Something with 2/3 beds it´s < U$S600 in an area like San Telmo or Montserrat. If u wanna be in Palermo or in another cute area it´d probably cost u >U$S800
Sorry 4 giving u bad news :(

Hello! Thanks for the answer;) 230 pesos is about 55 US dollars, am I right? Isn't it too expensive for a day? I'm staying for 2 month. Could you, please, find out the price per month? Thanks!

Answered by Alan Freeman , Buenos Aires, Argentina
"Cheap" and "Buenos Aires" aren't often heard in the same sentence unfortunately. Although 'cheap' is obviously a relative term. It depends on how long you intend to stay, but you'll probably find something for US$500 per month. Alternatively you may find a room in a flat-share for as little as US$200 per month.
Comment by Alexandra from Moscow, Russia
Oh, so is that really possible - to find a room for 200$ per months? It's the 2nd time I heard it and it's kind of hard for me to believe, it's a really good price! But, please, could you specify what a flat-share room is? How many beds are there? Is it privat or somebody else would live in it, too?

In PARANÁ, ENTRE RIOS, you can find a small apartment in the downtown area for US 150. my hometown is adorabel, please google the place. www.turismoentrerios.com.ar or just search PARANÁ, ENTRE RIOS.
