I don't agree w bahdawg..He is a local and sees things different. I suppose you guys are young and all wanna have a good time, go out a lot and be close to a ton of good restaurants. If so then there is only one choice IMO and that is Palermo. (soho/hollywood). Recoleta is also nice, but it's a bit further from the action/party scene. U'll have to take a ton of cabs..
The areas that bahdawg names are nice indeed, but i would never recommend anyone to rent something there w/o first being in BA for a while.
A 3br place, count on 1K usd minimum per person. Again bahdawg is wrong, he is stating argentines prices. Also the website he gave u guys is for room sharing more so then for finding an appartment. U'll have to lease from real estate sites who charge that much cuz there i sno other way for foreigners and they know it..Only argentines can rent directly from argentines (non-real estate agents.. (not exactly true but they mostly don't do shortleasing + u need document that u cannot get as foreigner for longer term leases). Payments are normally always upfront in USD + 1 month warranty also upfront ldo. I'd suggest choosing a place for a month and then look for a possible better one if necesary once you're here. Or gamble and lease immediatly for all months u gonna be here.
Building w security is not necesary if u live in any of the good neighbourhoods..
FAQ ? Just read all this topic through and also read the previous topic. It takes a ton of time but all your questions have been adressed here 10000x times.

I think you def should read all this topic, u'll read the view of at least 5 different people on all your questions. Then decide. If u too lazy to read all, then read all posts from after december, been good discussion about best locations and all that
also fyi, around end march/start april there are a bunch of players here that pbb will be looking for a place as well of which are at least 2 hu players (incl me)
