Great Airbnb rental in Palermo

I just finished staying the past week in this Airbnb in Palermo. I have stayed in a bunch of rentals in Buenos Aires and this was great. Super comfortable mattress which is tough to find in BA. Fast internet, doorman, spacious and never had a terrace so big. Very bright and out of this world view. Was very quiet too.

The building had a laundry room in the basement but I took my clothes to get cleaned next door. They have a full service laundromat next to the lobby. Loved this place!

Looks great! What a balcony!

@Surfer you have great taste. I own an apartment in the same building. Mine is he penthouse in that building. I didn't know we were allowed to post links on this site.

If you come back here is my apartment. I love it. I have a washing machine and dryer in my apartment. It is always booked. The last time I came I couldn't even stay in it because it was already booked. You can see the calendar on the listing.

Just checked out your listing. Nice looking property @Johnny. Very surprised at the rates. I see your calendar is full. I put in a random 3 nights for February and it is coming up over $500 USD. Wow. Are you able to get these kind of rates? I had no idea these kind of rates were possible on a small apartment.

Congratulations @Johnny. Great apartment. That view looks awesome.

I'm kicking myself for now buying when prices were lower. I saw this one for sale a few years ago. I could have jumped on it for less than $125k. Just saw the rental prices. Insane.

Thanks @Cheap Bastard! Yes my rates are about $125 USD per night. During slow season it was $100 USD per night but that is the lowest I have charged. Weekly and monthly discounts. But I don't get all of that. Airbnb charges the renters a %. I'm not sure how much and part of that is for maid and laundry which I don't get. Those costs have really gone up in the past year but that gets charged to the rental guests. It has been a very good investment. The value of the property shot up too in both apartments I purchased in BA.

I am told that many apartments can't charge these kind of rates. I spent a lot furnishing my place. The mattress alone was $1,500 USD. I spent about $25k USD furnishing my place.

The time to have bought was 2023. They were practically giving properties away. $125,000 for an apartment like that in one of the best neighborhoods is cheap. Compared to similar cities around the world I am guessing prices are still very cheap here. My sister just bought an apartment they are building now and she said the same thing in LA would be many times more.

I can't believe how much laundromat prices have gone up. The trick seems to be doing what you did Johnny and going high end. Most of the Airbnbs in BA have terrible furniture and slow internet. Your listing looks great.

Very nice Johnny! I sent you a DM. I'd love to rent it later this year for my mom.

Beautiful apartment Johnny. That is a great apartment. I love that area. Isn't that Recoleta and not Palermo?

Thank you! I feel very fortunate. I bought a 2nd apartment that is bigger. A 2 bedroom that they are building now. It was the same developer. My last trip I stayed in a 2 bedroom in the same building where I own


It was more spacious than mine and I stayed with Mike. My apartment will be similar to that.

Thanks everyone for the awesome comments. If anyone wants to rent mine directly just let me know. You can DM me. Probably cheaper than paying Airbnb 10% extra. It stays booked out.

Well done Johnny. Looks like @BuySellBA still has the Midas touch. That building you bought in is the same developer that built both of my 2 units. I still own one today. Mine has been consistently booked solid. Where is your 2nd property located? I recall you bought a Pozo? What part of Palermo?

Yes I went to go see the building you bought in. Wow what a view. I didn't see any apartments but went up to the gym in Palermo Uno and it was incredible. I heard you own on the 23rd floor in Palermo Uno. Love that location.

I bought a pozo in Palermo Hollywood that they are building now. Estimated date they will finish is January 2028.

That is the same apartment that I ended up flipping! I bought in that project and then my mother passed away and I ended up selling it. It turned out great. The rentals look solid too. I guess I should have hung onto that property. How is the market now @Johnny ?

I just sent you a DM. I'd love to rent your place in December when I come to BA.

Sent a DM but how long ago did you buy that apartment in the new building? Curious how much rates have gone up since you bought? Were you able to wire directly to their account outside Argentina? That is how I paid for my first one. I might be open to buying one.
