Buenos Aires Airbnb guests arrive expecting South America and find Europe with a Latin soul — wide boulevards, Art Nouveau architecture, a café culture that makes you feel guilty for leaving your table, and a steak tradition that has turned Argentina's beef into a global reference point. A digital guide covers the essentials: how the SUBE card works on the Subte (metro) and colectivo buses, why dinner before 9 pm means eating alone, where to take a tango lesson that isn't designed for cruise ship passengers, and how the Argentine economy affects prices for visitors (cash often beats card). One QR at the door, and your guests explore one of South America's most captivating cities.

Host tips for Buenos Aires
Five things experienced Buenos Aires hosts wish they'd written into their guide on day one.
- 1Argentina's currency situation is complex — the official peso rate and the 'dólar blue' (grey market) rate differ significantly. This affects guests who change money. Add a note that many restaurants prefer cash and the exchange rate conversation is local-normal.
- 2Dinner before 9 pm in Buenos Aires means eating alone in an empty restaurant. Write this clearly in your guide — it's the single most common cause of food disappointment for international visitors.
- 3SUBE card is required for the Subte and colectivo buses — buy one at any kiosk or station. Load it with pesos. Colectivos (city buses) are an excellent and cheap way to cross town.
- 4Tango is divided into tourist tango (La Boca street shows) and real tango (milongas in San Telmo and Almagro). Recommend a genuine milonga — guests who stumble into a real one have the most memorable experience of their trip.
- 5Buenos Aires tap water is safe and of good quality. Tell guests to drink it freely — bottled water is sold everywhere but the tap version is genuinely fine.
