Accomodation Details

APV TRAVEL wants you to enjoy your stay in Argentina and we are happy to assist with your accommodation arrangements. Following are brief descriptions of the accommodation options available to you:

Homestay

APV TRAVEL recommends homestay as a great personal introduction and welcome to the daily life in Argentina. Living with an Argentinian family will give you a unique insight into the culture and values of their country and assist in preparing you for the business environment.

All homestay families are carefully selected. After indicating your homestay preferences, APV TRAVEL will take the time to make sure that you have a homestay provided to meet your specific needs.

The fees for homestay vary and are influenced by your choice of location however please refer to the price section for details on the homestay rates. If you choose this option when you first arrive you will be asked to pay four weeks fees and then you may pay the family directly.

Shared Accommodation

Share accommodation is available in most locations. Many visitors choose to share flats or units with other students or young singles and this option is popular for the independent interns who enjoy their own space.

We strongly advise that you take the time to meet and view the premises for a share option after your arrival as they will vary quite dramatically, as will the people providing the accommodation.
