I don't know enough about uruquay to know where to move to live. by rayblank

Apartment rentals in Montevideo by duende123

Can anyone recommend a reliable source for apartment rentals in Montevideo? The pictures on the internet are rarely accurate. Also, any neighborhoods to recommend? We stay in Palermo in Buenos Aires so looking for something similiar if it exists.

David Hammond

Yes, Montevideo is more relaxed than Buenos Aires. AND, there is Tango and tango culture here. Best of luck with your plans and I hope you end up liking Montevideo as much as I do. Read More
