  • I just stayed at the apartment in November. The apartment is stunning. Although the photo's on VRBO are great, they still don't do it justice. I had a feeling this would be the best place to stay, and I was right. It has everything you need for a stay of any length. There are 2 large balconies on the front side that overlook San Pedro Claver Square and Cathedral. The views are stunning. The back patio also has a view of the Cathedral and you can not imagine how beautiful it is sitting in the hot tub at night with that view. So much effort and care was put into building and decorating the place. You hardly want to leave, but have to because the neighborhood right outside the door is fantastic. Walk out of the front door and you are in the heart of it all. The entire walled city is in walking distance. The place was built for a sultan, and when you stay there you will feel like one. If you are lucky enough to get the master bedroom, (like I did) you will see what I mean. The housekeeping was great. The place was always cleaned up when we arrived back from a day out on the town. There were always fresh towels hanging in the bathrooms, and clean sheets on the bed. Greg himself is a great guy. He met us when we arrived at the apartment. We had a few drinks and he gave us an orientation of the city. His recommendations were spot on and he even went as far as arranging a private tour guide on our request. Communication with Greg was prompt and clear prior to our arrival as well as when we were in Cartagena. When we left our deposit was returned without any issue. Greg was a pleasure to do business with.

  • I could not have picked a better place in Cartagena to stay at. The place truly is spectacular and generous in its space, decor and proximity to all the best of Cartagena. It's the perfect place for a family vacation or a group of friends. Greg, the owner, is friendly, accomodating and genuine in his desire for you to have a wonderful time in the beautiful home he has created. If you have a desire to treat yourself to the best of things, this apartment should rank up there.

  • This place is exceptional and we highly recommend it for your stay in Cartagena. The description on the site and the pictures faithfully represent what must be one of the best places to stay in this wonderful city. Not only are the views awe inspiring but you are a short walk from the best places, including San Pedro Claver Cathedral, the Gold Museum, the Museum of the Inquisition, the Museum of Modern Art, and the port to the Rosario Islands, just to name a few. The caretaker is great and takes pain to not get in your way. Having done some comparison shopping, we do not think you can beat the price for what you get. Perhaps the only drawback is the kitchen, which sits off an internal patio and is not air-conditioned, so keep that in mind because Cartagena is hot. Nevertheless, hands down this is the place to stay and enjoy Cartagena de Indias!

  • I stayed in the apartment in June of 2008. The apartment is exceptional. Beautifully decorated and maintained. The housekeeper is a great guy and took fanstastic care of us. The pictures do NOT do the apartment justice. You could not ask for a better location, view, or service. The owners are also very flexible and easy to work with. A great apartment for your time in Cartagena.
