Muy buena atención, el sitio tranquilo y con una vista espectacular

Todo muy bien, Andrea muy linda y siempre recomendando los mejores lugares para conocer. Recomendado 100%

After travelling for 6 months, and staying in AirBnB's around the world, this is the first time we left a stay early. We had booked 5 days at this apartment, and left after 2. I should be clear that it was not terrible, but definitely not what we were expecting. Prior to arrival communication was fast, but not very thorough. I would have really loved to have gotten the wifi password in advance, or some instructions about the apartment. On arrival, the keys were not with the man at reception, as she said they would be. In her defence we did arrive a bit early. We were able to enter the apartment because some other guests who were staying let us in. They gave us the wifi code and then we were able to email Andrea. She was nearby and came over quickly in order to get us keys. Since we checked in early we were able to leave our luggage until the room was ready which was kind. The listing is a bit misleading. It states that Andrea lives in the apartment, and won’t be around much so that you will have the place to yourself most of the time. There are 3-4 rooms in the apartment rented out on AirBnB. When we arrived there was another couple, a mom and a baby, and an older gentleman all living in the apartment. This isn’t really what we expected. We were looking for a chill place to relax, on our own in an apartment that was presumably shared with one other lady and her family. We badly needed a break from hostels, which is not what we got. The only window in the bedroom looks over the dining room table. Even with two fans the room gets quite hot and stuffy, since there is no fresh air. The bathroom is shared between most of the guests. This obviously wasn’t expected. The bathroom garbage was overflowing after one day. The kitchen looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a while, and many dishes we pulled out of the cupboard were dirty and needed to be re-washed. I didn’t feel comfortable cooking anything in the kitchen. The location of the apartment is not that great. It is located very close to the beach, but that is where all the good things end. There are no good restaurants nearby, and it is far from the centre. The pool is nice, but closes at 5, which has been mentioned in another review. The view out the living room window is amazing, truly. The breeze is beautiful off of the ocean. Also there is a washing machine which is a plus. At the end of our second day Andrea and her daughter did stop by to clean up some of the apartment. Too bad we were all leaving the next day.

Ich habe mich bei Andrea sehr wohlgefühlt. Sie ist völlig entspannt und unkompliziert, hilfsbereit und sympathisch. Wenn ein Problem hat, hilft sie sofort. Ich würde sofort wieder kommen!

Once I arrived, Andrea greeted me at the front desk of her complex. It is located in El Laguito, adjacent to the Pacific with a view of Isla De Tierra Bomba. She showed me her huge apartment, largest in the entire complex and got me settled. I met her daughter Lisa when I first got there as well and she is awesome as well. Super smart. She knows how to speak English, Chinese and French. The place is very clean and safe. The views out the picture windows are spectacular. It is located close to a few convenient stores and 2 grocery stores. A hop in a cab will get you in Centro in 5 min. You can take a 20 min walk to a ton of shops and restaurants along carre 3&4 or walk along the adjacent beach front on carre 1 (1 block and you're walking on sand). The walk back during the sunset is spectacular! Bocagrande is 30 min walk as well. Andrea suggest three restaurants nearby and I tried them all. They were all excellent! Andrea was also kind enough to show me around the Centro area at night with some friends. It was a proper Cartagena experience! Definitely recommend and I would stay here again.

This is a great room if your looking to enjoy Cartagena's variety of beach and aquatic activities. It's is a short beach walk to sup kiteboarding windsurfing beach volleyball & soccer. Additionally, it's really easy to find good food. Andrea is a very great host. It is s very welcoming environment! Fyi there is no AC. Instead you get double fan action!

Andrea is a magnific person..I'm really happy with her hospitality and information about every thing..places..etc..thanks so much Andrea..I hope to see you soon..greeting to your dear daughter. .

Andrea es una persona muy atenta... nos dio las indicaciones de las ciudad...siempre estuvo dispuesta a colaboramos ante cualquier inquietud.....

Andrea es una gran host, estuvo pendiente todo el tiempo, me ayudó con los tiempos por fuera del check in/out. El apartamento está muy bien ubicado con una vista increíble al mar. La playa está a 50m. Limpio y ordenado todo el tiempo. Me sentí como en casa. Highly recommended !

Jake un excelente anfitrión, el apto tal cual como se ve en las fotos, la habitación grande con TV, AC, Baño privado, apto con balcón con vista al mar, super bien ubicado!! Muchas gracias Jake por tu hospitalidad, un gran abrazo.

Jake, es una persona espectacular, muy amable y su apartamento te hace sentir como en tu casa. Lo recomiendo 100%.

Stay with Jake! He's an amazing host. He was there to greet us when we arrived and even showed us around town. Lots of fun. Also, he arranged for his chauffeur to pick us up for only 20,000 pesos. His driver was at our disposal for the rest of the trip. The apartments is great. He's got an oceanfront property with balcony and amazing views. The pool on the 17th floor is fantastic. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed three nights with my cousin at Jake's place. We could say that it's a comfortable and nice place to stay. The location is really good (near to the beach, public transportation, restaurants and shops). The view from the balcony is good too. Jake was very kind and polite with us. We definitely recommend this place for people coming to Cartagena.

Jake es un gran host! El apartamento es tal cual se ve en las fotos, la habitación tiene todas las comodidas. TV. AC. Baño privado, closet. La vista al mar es privilegiada, es un balcón en el 4 piso. La ubicación del apartamento es privilegiada. El apartamento cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasarla bien. Lo recomiendo 100% Y agradezco la hospitalidad de Jake. :)

The location is truly excellent and great value. There are some very reasonably priced eateries and a couple of very good supermarkets nearby and the beach is literally on the doorstep. On top of this its not much more than a 2 dollar taxi ride to the old town if you don't fancy the walk. We got on well with Jake and he was very helpful when we needed anything. The room and flat are clean and comfortable and the roof area and cooling pool was a real bonus on our budget. We had a great time.

Recommend!!! My brother and I stayed with Jake for 5 great days in Cartagena. In addition to having a great apartment with a stunning beach view and access to a rooftop pool, Jake was also a great host and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay in Colombia. The room has two double beds, which as perfect for me and my brother, but they easily could be pushed together for a couple, or they could easily accommodate two people on one of the beds. The room has an attached, private bathroom, closets, a fan and AC. The apartment is located right in the heart of the Boca Grande area of Cartagena, which is perfect for shopping, restaurants and the beach. Even better is that the apartment sits right in front of the beach. Less than a minute walk and you're in the water! We had a great time in Cartagena and Jake was a big part of that experience. He's a very nice guy and will help you with anything you need. We enjoyed his company a lot and will definitely stay with him again when we return.

It was a nice location, walking distance from nice places and activities, with a pretty good view for the price. The bed was not comfortable and the shower was like a jet (not soft). Should make sure to get details of checkout/late checkout from the start so as not to be blindsided. We were told the building didn't allow late checkout as reasoning to tell us we needed to leave earlier, many hours before our flight, but the building did not mind at all when we left a couple hours after checkout time. We also thought it was unprofessional that the hosts girlfriend stopped by to check in on us at 12:00 the day of the checkout, when we negotiated and agreed to leave by 3:00.

We stayed in apt. 710. Gianfranco and Liliana communicated with me even before our trip started and were a quick text message away the entire trip. The check-in was smooth and the apartment looks exactly how it is in the pictures. The location is wonderful! the staff in the building is helpful and very nice as well. Cabs outside of the building at all times. Thank you Gianfranco and Liliana for having us!!!

Gianfranco y Liliana fueron muy amables y siempre estuvieron pendientes de nosotros. El apartamento tiene una linda vista al mar; las playas del laguito y de la isla Bomba son hermosas y quedan muy cerca del apartamento.

Muy buena experiencia, podría tener una puerta de entrada mas bonita, y ademas tratar que los huéspedes dejen rastros . . .

No conocí personalmente al anfitrión pero ambos estuvimos en contacto todo el tiempo, los anfitriones nos resolvieron todas las dudas de inmediato. Buen lugar, buena ubicación.

Muy buena experiencia en este alojamiento, punto central para conocer las atracciones de la ciudad. Gianfranco y Liliana son muy amables.

El departamento esta ubicado en una zona tranquila, se puede caminar de noche sin preocupaciones. Cerca a los principales atractivos turisticos y al aeropuerto. El departamento es muy amplio, limpio y cuenta con todas las comodidades. Luz Dary es muy amable y te apoya con cualquier duda o recomendacion.

Great apartment

Very clean, good location. Host was nice too!

Really nice & clean place to stay

Buena atención, la habitación es amplia y limpia, Tiene una excelente ubicación, cerca a las playas

Very happy with this accommodation on Callegrande next to the Hilton Hotel. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning kept us cool during the night. There is also a good tv which we could watch Netflix in English if you can work through the menu to find it. There is a nice big lounge with a comfortable couch and dining table. We were able to cook in house but we did also eat across the street at a nice and cheap pizza restaurant.

Great place in a good location close to the beach and restaurants.

esta ubicado cerca a la playa, zona muy conercial, se puede transitar facilmente

Juan Carlos, fue una persona bastante amable, nos atendió muy bien durante nuestra estadía, el apto tiene vista al laguito y en el piso del edifico también puedes ver el mar.

Juan Carlos es muy amable, el apto está ubicado en una zona muy buena, playa cerca, excelente muy recomendado

Excelente sitio, la vista espectacular, muy cerca a la playa, muy buena atención, volvería sin pensarlo.

Great apartment right on the beach with a nice pool. The host was very accommodating. Bocagrande is a little far from all the main activities in Cartagena as we spent most of our time in the old city. Due to the flooding sometimes taxis wouldn't take us back. Overall a good place to stay!

My girlfriend and I had an awesome stay! It is a beautiful apartment overlooking the ocean. It is a good location and only a short walk from the main strip at the end of Boccagrande. Taxi ride to old town costs next to nothing, so it is ideal for beach days and trips to old town. I would recommend this place to a friend. Cheers

Lugar muy bien ubicado, limpio y tiene todos los artículos de un departamento . Lo recomiendo aunque el edificio está un poco deteriorado.. Muchas gracias

Buen lugar, Excelente el apoyo del anfitrión y con lo justo y necesario para un fin de semana

Tuvimos inconveniente con el wifi y el aire acondicionado pero nos cambiaron de habitación lo demás todo muy bien!

Comfortable stay for 4 nights for a total of 3 guests. The apartment is located right next to the Hilton in Bocagrande which was easy to communicate to taxi drivers. It is a 10-15 minute drive from the center of Cartagena, or a 2-3 USD taxi ride. You are located right next to the beach, and can hear the sound of the ocean and waves which is really nice. The amenities/facilities are basic, but the price is really great if you are here with a few friends. The best part was the cool A/C in the apartment which is hard to find in Cartagena. Overall, a hassle-free process with a communicative host! Thanks!

A really nice place! Hearing the ocean at night was great! The view is awesome, very private with the windows open. Decent location, but a little far away from the city center. I like to walk places and that was not possible from here. Good restaurants are close, but it's not the old city like many tourists come to see. It was not quiet when we were there, because Miss Colombia was happening just down the street, so sleeping at night was not easy if that is what you want. I would definitely recommend this place. It's not perfect, but for the price it's a great great deal! Also, it has a huge TV and good speakers to put on music or watch a movie.

Excellent!!!!!

Idalia and son were so kind and extremely helpful. She gave awesome recommendations, directions to the walled city and the tourist pier for day trips to the islands and beaches. She was even kind enough to drive us to the walled city when she had free time and showed us around a bit. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) can only tell you so much. Having a host that is a native and is willing to spend time helping you figure out the best places of all the tourist attractions was very helpful. Before arriving make sure you've asked Idalia how to get from the airport to her apartment because the taxi drivers understand very basic english, do not have GPS, and will need a cross street for reference. Idalia can tell you the reference point for taxi drivers. When I am back in Cartagena I know which Airbnb I'm looking for!

The best host ever, treated us like a mama, everything we needed she wanted to help.she even took us on a city tour with her car

La estadía fue excelente; la Sra. Idalia y su hijo Pablo fueron excelentes anfitriones. Estuvieron muy pendientes de nosotros en todo momento. La Sra. Idalia fue muy amable y atenta, nos hizo sentir muy cómodos, haciéndonos sentir como si estuviéramos en nuestro hogar. La ubicación del apartamento es perfecta ya que está demasiado cerca a todo lo principal de Cartagena: de la playa, del centro, de la ciudad amurallada, del casco histórico, de todo tipo de negocios, bares y restaurantes. Las instalaciones del departamento fueron muy cómodas y limpias, y el mismo está ubicado en un sitio muy turístico y muy seguro. Totalmente recomendable el hogar de Idalia para quién quiera pasar una excelente estadía en Cartagena.

Idalia was the perfect host. She communicated throughout the entire process and was very respectable of me and my things. She has a beautiful home in Bocas Grande, one of the best areas for eating, shopping, and going out at night, and just one block away from the beach. The room itself is large and very clean with a private bathroom. She and her son treated me like I was part of the family and even offered to show me around the city. I would highly recommend a stay with Idalia when you're in Cartagena!

Muy buena anfitriona, te hace sentir el calor de hogar y dispuesta a ayudarte en todo lo que necesites. El lugar muy bueno, cómodo y cerca de todo. Gracias Idalia!!

La estadía super buena, la Sra, Idalia y sus hijos fueron muy amables en todo momento, te hacen sentir como en casa y te brinda confianza rápidamente. La ubicación del departamento es perfecto cerca a todo lo principal de Cartagena y muy seguro! Las instalaciones muy cómodas y limpias. Definitivamente espero regresar pronto!

Central in Bocagrande. The stay has been of the most comforting, neat, with good Wi-Fi connectivity, clean kitchen, near to Exito and exchange house. Mrs. Idalia is super friendly and respectful of space.

Idalia y su familia son excelentes anfitriones. Estuvieron muy pendientes de nuestras necesidades y dispuesta siempre a ayudarnos. La ubicacion del apartamento es ideal si quieres playa o visitar el "corralito" (la ciudad amurallada). Nos sentimos como en casa!. A pesar de estar ubicado en un sitio tan turístico, no había tanto ruido, como suele haber en Cartagena. 100% recomendable para el que quiera sentir calor de hogar!!!
