South America rent cost

Oi oi guys.
I haven't something like that here so let's do this.
Post your rent (furnished/unfurnished) and easiness to find a short lease(1/3 months).
In Porto Alegre:
Cidade Baixa (the safe bar/nightclub area) 40 m2 unfurnished 1100 reais, furnished 1500 reais.
Centro (not safe) unfurnished 1000 reais.
Here it is really hard to find some short lease.
I heard that Equator is super expensive.
Up to you now.

Since the thread idea is for all of South America it would be helpful if you include the current amount in USD/EUR.

Buenos Aires
Rent is the cheap thing here.
I rented 1 bedroom in Palermo for about $700 US (This is at the regular exchange rate of 9.50 to 1) for only 1 month.
The place is very old. Like the keyhole looks like its 40-50 years old. But the place is in excellent condition and everything works. A modern apartment would obviously be more.
Having a thread like this is tough. Unless you want people to go into a lot of detail. Its really hard to compare.

@Merenguero ...or Soho? Hollywood? I cant keep track sometimes. I think according to the international law of Argentina. Im in Soho. But I am only about a Block from viejo.
@atlantic974 buy luggage with a lock. At a hostel, people usually go through your shit, usually not smart enough to break your lock or too much of a hassle to take your entire suitcase.

Paid $710 for one month in nice small one bedroom in Lapa in Rio. Keep in mind that the BRL has crashed against the USD so this same place probably ran around $1,800+ just a couple years ago. Airbnb is pretty legit in Brazil. I think they tried to recruit a lot of hosts for the World Cup and as a result there is excess supply. I've gotten some nice places in Rio and Salvador.
