The area is lots of fun, right by Mercado where the food is out of this world. The place was nice and clean, very spacious. Watch out for mosquitos, that is the only thing that bothered me. For sure take a tour, we took a private tour with a driver and was so worth it. Walk around, it is safe and enjoy all the parks, there are plenty of them!

Host is very good at communication. Location of apartment is near the puerto Mercado in old town. My only advice to improve the experience is to have the check out and checkin process explained a bit so the guest doesn’t have to bother the host. Overall great experience.

Lovely stay

Lovely stay. The place is as it looks in the pictures. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the deck with a bottle of wine. The bed was comfortable We had several great lunches at the market at Don Garcia. Enjoyed the street stalls and the quaint shops. The grocery store is close as well. Would stay again

Host is super responsive to communication. The vibe of the space is really cool. Most of the furniture is vintage so not super comfy and has signs of wear, which didn’t bother us. Some things to note before booking, the stairs are very steep, the hot water doesn’t last more than 5 minutes, and there is sometimes the smell of sewage in the room, these are things one might expect in a super old building. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

Beautiful apartment

What a stunning place. The building is ancient with vaulted ceilings and huge windows. It has to be the most tastefully furnished place i’ve ever stayed in. I had to push myself out the door to discover the city. Maria is terrific.

Cozy and Great Location

This is a charming apartment two blocks from the ferry port and a great value. It is 1/2 block from the Puerto Mercado, and lots of restaurants. The street is lively during the evenings and weekend with lots of people, bars, and music. Convenient grocery stores, pharmacy, bus stops, and tour pick up points all nearby. Constitution Plaza is about a 10 minute walk away. Kitchen is well equipped, good AC, lovely balcony, and comfortable bed. Note, this is a two flight walk up with about 40 stairs.

Fun stay in Montevideo!

The host was super kind and flexible. When our flight arrival time changed from 12pm to 9pm, she helped us get our keys and transition into the place. The apt. was very clean and looked exactly like the photos. Additionally, the apt. is very close to a lot of touristy sites -- we were able to talk to everything in the downtown area. I do want to note that the location of the apt. is a bit sketchy. It's no problem during the day, but we opted to stay inside at night.

This is a difficult review to leave; the apartment is clean, stylish and on a (mostly) quiet street near shops and restaurants. It's a very old building (part of the charm) and some steep winding steps up, but we're in our 70's and had no problems. But a few nights into our 11 night stay we did have to leave the property and move to a hotel due to flying insects, probably mosquitoes and some small gnats. We were badly bitten and I had a reaction to one bite that left an eye quite swollen. This can happen anywhere. And let me be clear these were NOT bedbugs. Host Veronica responded quickly and with concern, asked a neighbor to deliver some repellent, etc, but they didn't work. We then checked out.The host seemed eager to want to solve the problem, and may have by now. I still give our stay 4 stars because of her willingness to try and make things right and her willingness to negotiate a partial refund. It's a fun, old part of town and surprisingly quiet except for one night of music down the street. Were I younger I'd have joined them!The apartment was pretty much as presented on VRBO photos.

Exactly what we needed /perfecto para nosotros

We loved the location, no problems with the apartment or the neighborhood. The host was kind and understanding. There was some difficulty with check in due to our travel delay and difficulty getting messages through, but once we were able to meet someone at the apartment everything was fine. The bed was comfortable. The room temperature was easy to control. There was were mosquitos and flies that were a nuisance. The laundry area upstairs was convenient and the store around the corner has supplies for that. Would recommend to other travelers, single or couple, especially if you just need a place from which to explore the city. Nos encantamos el lugar, no había problema con el vecindario o el edificio del departamento. La anfitriona era amable y comprensiva. Nos tardemos en llegar por cosas fuera de nuestra control y ella fue adaptable. Una vez que podíamos comunicarnos ella arregló la check- in con una persona. El departamento es cómodo, fácil de controlar la temperatura y las muebles todo bien cómodos. Desafortunadamente había mosquitos. Pero sobre todo lo recomendamos este lugar, especialmente para quienes quieran explorar la ciudad y descansar bien. También es conveniente tener donde lavar ropa y la tienda del vecindario tiene todo lo que se necesita. ¡Era una excelente semana para nosotros!

The apartment, the location, and the included amenities were exactly as advertised and just what we needed for a point from which to explore this fascinating city. Veronica (landlady) and Estela (who met us and checked us in) are both very helpful and communicative. The apartment was clean, organized, and stocked with essentials. With so many stores, restaurants, bars, and other retail services within blocks, there is easy access to really everything. Plus, it is located on an old fashioned pedestrian-only street which keeps it quiet at night. But a simple 2 block walk to multiple bus lines.

Center of Ciudad Vieja Montevideo

This apartment is located in the center of all of the action, restaurants, wine bars, brew pubs, shops, grocery stores, bus lines, and the wonderful Mercado del Puerto. Super safe to walk around anytime of the day or night. All off the streets are monitored with halo cameras. So many fun things to jump off and do, but most of all I am a foodie and this place is surrounded by some of Montivedeos best restaurants. Great place to stay for a short culinary and cultural adventure. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. Pack light because there are two steep and long flights of stairs to climb.

Perfectly located in Ciudad Vieja

We loved this apartment, inside and out! The balcony was the clincher, plus the high ceilings and the open layout. Add to that some of the best places to eat and drink within a block or two. Veronica helped us get a ride from and to the airport, which made our visit so much more relaxed. We highly recommend the experience.
