Lodging can be the most expensive part of a trip. We decided to look into short term housing in Montevideo to save some money. I simply google-ed" apartments for rent in Montevideo", and a slew of websites popped up offering short term rentals. In Montevideo particularly, there are many foreigners who invest in properties with the intention of renting them to other foreigners. I came upon a unique property that was in our price range. We moved in yesterday and we are very happy with our choice. The Penthouse-Loft is located in the Ciudad Vieja, which is the "Old City". The building is about a 100 years old and has alot of character. Here is a link to the website:

It sure beats staying in a hotel! We have full use of the kitchen which is fully equipped. We went to the market and picked up pasta made from scratch, vegetables, crusty bread and ate like the locals do. We saved $40 by doing that. The place we got the fresh pasta also had homemade meat pies and empanadas. We bought the meat pie for lunch the next day.
Here's a picture of the yummy pie (I don't know what it is called in spanish yet) Ham, Cheese, Boiled Egg, Sweet Onions, Red Bell Pepper and Olives in flakey crust.
