I avoid using “eclectic” because it sounds similar to “expensive,” which I find amusing!
There is no other way to describe my Airbnb experience in Montevideo, Uruguay. It was the most amazing Airbnb I have ever stayed in, and it was $35 a night. The owners are lawyers from Argentina, and they put all of their love of travel, music, antiques, and heart into this stay.
It even had a record player in each room! Three of the four pictures are the lobby when you walk up the stairs. From the lobby, you can access four different rooms by small ladders to slightly different floors.
Music is played during the day and there is a couch to look at the wall antiques. My room pictured below was directly across from the wall unit of antiques so often left my door open looking at them.
The bed and desk were in the loft area with about ten steps, and it felt like a different room.
Montevideo is a rather small town, and the Airbnb was right down from the walking street in one direction and the ocean in the other direction with the best view to top things off. They use a fancy filter, but I can promise you that the view was amazing from my room in every single direction.
OK, I will settle my eclectic ass down and tell you about getting there and the travel is half of the adventure. I grabbed an Uber from my Airbnb in BA to the ferry terminal. Once arriving, I bought a one-way ticket as I was unsure how long I would stay.
I need to take the ferry to Colonia and then a bus ride totaling five hours to get to Montevideo.
