This is a unique one bedroom apartment located at the heart of the old colonial city center, within the 16th Century, one block away from the famous Convent Santa Clara, often featured in Garcia Marquez´novels, and now a 5 star hotel. It has amazing views to the Las Bovedas Square where they sell all kinds of original Colombian crafts and it faces the ancient wall and a beautiful sunset view over the Caribbean. It was designed by two famous Spanish design artists that live in Spain and use it sporadically during holidays. It´s a luxurious apartment with all kinds of amenities, i.e. broad-band WIFI internet, satellite 51 LCD TV, free national calls, wash and dryer, air conditioning over, etc, etc, etc.

The apartment is located at the heart of the colonial city center, a couple of blocks away from restaurants, bars and cafes but still within a relatively quiet residential area. You can see and hear the ocean and take a swim in the nearby, literally a hundred yards, beach.

                            I stayed in the this one bedroom place and couldn't have loved it more! It has everything you could want in a rental: it's big, clean and in a great location. I'd recommend everyone stay here.

                            Owner response: Many thanks for your feedback. It was great to have you with us. Hope you come back soon. Alberto

                            Our experience was excellent. The staff was helpful and informative on arrival. We had a basket of fruit and water waiting for us, which was a wonderful surprise as we arrived late. The decor was uplifting and the surrounding made this a pleasant stay. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the property and the eye to detail on lines, surfaces and lighting. I would come and stay again next time we visit Colombia.

                            Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

                            Owner response: Many thanks for your kind feedback. I´m very glad to know that you enjoyed the apartment and had a good time in Cartagena. A great pleasure having you with us and hope you come back one day. Very best regards, Alberto

                            We enjoyed our stay at his lovely apartment in the heart of Cartagena. The location was excellent and service was great. The decorations were superb. The only thing missing were some paintings that were on the website. This is good value for the money. We recommend it.

                            Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

                            Owner response: Many thanks for your review! It was a real pleasure having you with us and hope you visit us again soon. I´m glad you liked our paintings and promise you will see more when you return. Very best, Alberto

                            I struggled whether to give this property an "average" or "good" rating. The pictures definitely capture the design of the apartment accurately. It's very stylish; however, the building where it's located, not so much. The building appears run down and I was a bit concerned when we first arrived. So it's quite a surprise to enter the unit and discover it's high design. A word of caution: We were misled by a past reviewer's comments about the pool. Though there is a small pool on the rooftop, we found that it is not available for use with this apartment. This was an important point to us, and looking back, we realized the owner did not respond to our advance question about the pool. We ended up spending quite a bit of money to go to the nearby Santa Clara's beautiful pool, so that is always an option. The staff people (and the owner, whom we encountered) were very nice and helpful. We did mention to the staff was that there was no hot water in the shower, which was lukewarm at best. The pressure is also very low but we attributed that to being an old building. They told us it was working fine, so we just left it at that. So just don't expect a great shower while staying in the apartment. The location was certainly fine, in walking distance to most of the attractions in the old city.

                            Owner response: Many thanks for your kind review. I´m glad to know that you liked the apartment and found it comfortable, convenient and and well located. I´m also pleased to know you liked the services of both our staff. They both send their warmest regards. Hope you may use the pool in the future if no other tenants are renting that higher unit. Also note that both the pressure and temperature of the water are back to normal and in perfect order. Again many thanks for visiting us. We hope to see you again in the near future. Very best regards, Alberto

                            I HIGHLY recommend you stay at his place while in Cartagena. Look no further. The location within the old city walls is ideal, the apartment is very modern (ice cold A/C was fantastic!) and very well appointed, and the penthouse level is amazing! Sweeping views of the entire city, with a small private pool and jacuzzi to relax in while taking in the views of the ocean on one side and city center on the other. The owner, Alberto and his on site staff are extremely kind and helpful. We felt right at home from the moment we go there. We will be coming back!!!

                            Owner response: Many thanks for your feedback. We do appreciate it. It was a pleasure having you in Cartagena and hope you come back one day. Kindest regards, Alberto
