It is an easy place to be for a foreigner. I've lived there for 2 months earlier this year and for a couple of other month long periods earlier. I love the food, the little shops, the tech community is pretty good as well. Both the Ruby and Lean Startup meetups are great http://www.meetup.com/Lean-Startup-BA/ http://www.meetup.com/Lean-Startup-BA/ The largest problem is the current economic situation and the government there. You have to plan ahead a bit with respect to currency. Bring enough US$ cash with you to pay the first month rent and deposit or you will get your deposit back in pesos the day you leave. Which will bring you deep into the world of black market currency trading (at a loss). If you are a tech startup type of person I would recommend staying near (not necessarily in) the Palermo neighborhood. Thats where most activities and coworking spaces are. Prices are not cheap there, but other areas such as Villa Crespo right next door are much cheaper and still walking distance to Palermo.
