To answer that question, Zonaprop carried out a survey in which it is detailed that although Puerto Madero is the neighborhood with the highest daily values of temporary rentals, it is also the one that defends the value of the most expensive square meter in the city: US$5,697, which is why someone who buys a two-room apartment of, for example, 40 square meters should spend US$227,000 on the property, which could be rented between US$120 and US$135 per day, with a gross annual return of 7.6%.

The neighborhoods with the greatest supply and demand for temporary rentals
The Real Estate Monitor , created by Daniel Bryn, surveyed the number of temporary rentals in each of the city's neighborhoods. The study takes Airdna as a source , a site where AirBNB information is published . 70 % of the temporary offer is concentrated in these six neighborhoods: Palermo tops the list with 7,402 posts; Recoleta follows (3147); Saint Nicholas (1401); Belgrano (1125); Retiro (1044) and Monserrat (913).“The main reason why these neighborhoods are chosen is the location : they are looking for quick access to transportation and the possibility of easily reaching entertainment, cultural, gastronomic or social places,” said Daniel Bryn.
The price of each rental varies depending on the quality of the building and the features it offers, such as having a good internet signal, a place that is pleasantly equipped and with good light. The AirBNB rating also has a lot of influence, since if the service is good and generates a good score, it ranks better, which allows it to charge higher prices and gain trust among searching users.
The reasons for choosing areas are very varied depending on each neighborhood; If you are a younger person, probably aim for Palermo , because you know you will find nightlife there ; If you are an older person, you will probably choose something closer to Recoleta and the gastronomic offer and shops that are offered there,” said Jimena Gómez, property manager (administrator of temporary rental properties). Always referring to short terms of a few days or two weeks.
