Furnished apartments in Buenos Aires:
rent like a local, not like a tourist
Monthly rentals from 1 to 12 months at local prices, with a real lease contract and apartments you can visit before you commit — or book online with just USD 100, relocation or refund guaranteed.
Staying a month or more? Here is why locals don't use Airbnb
Nightly platforms are built for tourists. If you are coming to Buenos Aires to work, study or actually live, renting monthly changes everything.
| Nightly platforms | Alternativa Rent | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Nightly tourist rates plus fees | Monthly local prices, bills included |
| Contract | A booking, nothing more | A real lease contract (contrato de locación) |
| Before you pay | You book from photos | You can visit the apartment first |
| Upfront payment | The whole stay, in advance | Just USD 100 — relocation or refund if it is not as expected |
| The apartment | Set up for short stays | Equipped for actually living there |
| If you need help | A host, maybe abroad | A local team, +19 years in the city |
Book online without a prior visit and get 25% off the service fee — if the apartment is not what you expected on move-in day, we relocate you or refund your money. If you prefer to visit first, the discount does not apply.
What renting like a local means
Local prices, not tourist rates
Pay by the month like a porteño would — not by the night like a tourist. For stays of a month or more, the difference is huge.
A real lease contract
You sign an actual rental contract, not a booking receipt. Useful when you need proof of address for paperwork, banking or immigration.
See it first — or book risk-free
Schedule a visit before renting. Or book online with just USD 100 and get 25% off the service fee: if the apartment is not what you expected on move-in day, we relocate you or refund your money.
No local guarantor
Foreign income, bank statements or an international credit card work as proof of funds. Students can present family backing.
Homes made for long stays
Bigger, fully equipped apartments with real kitchens and space to live and work — not hotel-style units set up for a weekend.
A local team, not a remote host
An agency with +19 years in Buenos Aires and all bills already included: building fees, wifi, electricity, gas and water.

The Airbnb alternative for monthly stays in Buenos Aires
Most foreigners arriving in Buenos Aires do what tourists do: book a short-term flat at nightly rates, pay everything upfront, and hope the photos were honest. That works for a week. For a month or more, it means overpaying for an apartment designed for tourists — with no contract, no visit and no one local to call.
Alternativa Rent is how porteños rent: a furnished apartment at monthly local prices, a real lease contract you can use as proof of address, and the chance to visit the property before you decide. Digital nomads, exchange students and professionals relocating for work rent with us for 1 to 12 months, paying in US dollars with every utility — wifi, electricity, gas, water and building fees — already included.
Browse apartments with your dates, request a visit or reserve online with just USD 100 knowing that if the apartment is not what you expected, we relocate you or give your money back — and if you have questions, our FAQ covers payments, deposits, check-in times and more.
