Apartment are sometimes not available despite appearing vacant on a website calender. Communicate directly with the agency to confirm that your apartment is available on the days you need it. Also keep in mind the photos can sometimes be misleading and the apartment may not be as well furnished, large, or quiet as it appears in the photo. Reserving after a face to face viewing is always a safer option.

There are several neighborhoods around the city that have a high concentration of hotels. In the San Telmo area, which is on the edge of the downtown, you will find most of the hostels and budget hotels. Palermo has the more boutique style hotels and the high end options.

Mendoza

Mendoza is a pleasant and livable city. Many visitors choose to spend some time here taking language classes or fully immersing themselves in the culture. Some of the most enjoyable parts of the city lie between Plaza Independencia and Park San Martin. This is a quiet area that has pleasant neighborhoods with many different bars and restaurants nearby in Aristes Villanueva. Many of the city's hostels are found to the east of the city centre in a more budget friendly area.

It's more challenging to find a short term apartment in Mendoza than it is in Buenos Aires. The ones that are available are often a lower quality in a less appealing part of town. They are often in short supply, but hotels and hostels are generally abundant. Be wary of any internet searches that show you nice pictures or comfortable looking apartments at cheap rates. These are often very misleading or completely inaccurate. If you do plan to book an apartment, make sure you see it in advance so you know what you're getting for your money. Always be sure and read plenty of reviews before making any sort of reservation. The quality of hotels and hostels can very dramatically, as can the location. Do a little research before you commit to a place to make sure you fully understand where you'll be staying. If you do the research you're sure to find a great place with wonderful amenities and easy accessibility to everything.
