About The Owner
I work in Washington DC. While visiting Cartagena two years ago I fell in love with this amazing city, the people the food, and he weather. I continued visiting Cartagena until I finally decided to buy my own place to enjoy the city on a regular basis and share the experiences with friends and family.
The Owner purchased this apartment in 2011
Why The Owner chose Cartagena
Cartagena is the most iconinc city in Colombian. Its old city is a magical place that captivate all who visit this historic place. The city is home to some of the best restaurants, bars and lounges in the country, there is a place for every style.
What makes this apartment unique
The views from this top floor apartment are spectacular. Very few places offer such an amazing view of the Caribbean, the bay and the old city. There is a large window that faces the island of Tierrabomba, which is a beautiful sight day and night. The breeze atop of the 25 floor is something worth experiencing. The apartment has been renovated to the highest standards to provide all its guests with a very special stay. Having travelled extensively, I have tried to incorporate details from different cultures to make my place a pleasant space that reflects my eclectic taste.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Let me just say that the accomodations and the location was the most amazing experience EVER! We were in Cartagena for my nephews wedding! The views in this penthouse were breathtaking! It was also very nice that I was able to make my nephew and his new bride dinner and 7 others as well! The shopping, beach, cafes were all within walking distance. It is 6000 pesos to get to old city! Very easy to get around the city! I can't wait to go back to Cartagena and I will definately book this condo again!

The apartment has panaromic view of Cartagena new city.
The location is very convenient for walking and taxi rides. The apartment is very spacious and has a great balcony.
Great Accommodations and Great Views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was well kept and the views were amazing. Also, the location was great for getting to Bocagrande, Castillogrande, and Tierra Bomba beaches.
Loved it!
This place is beyond great. The ocean views from all the rooms are spectacular. The apartment is very well located, with shops and amenities withing walking distance. The beach is right across the street. The neighborhood has its charm and is very safe and friendly. We loved that we were very close to the city center, yet far from the noise.
Clean, spacious, great views.
Stayed here for 4 nights in March 2016. It was myself and a friend both single males in our 30's. The condo is on the top floor with plenty of room and great views of the ocean. It's fairly close to centro, where all the bars and nightlife are. I will definitely be coming back to Cartagena soon and if this spot is available I would stay again.

Spectacular views, great location
We were very pleased with our stay here. Everything was as advertised. The apartment is clean, well furnished, and in good condition. The views all around the property are just amazing ... exactly what you would hope for. Communications with the owner Santiago and the onsite manager Edgar were excellent and we had no issues whatsoever. There is a small grocery store literally 1 block and maybe 100 yards away, several very nice and reasonably priced restaurants very close and right on the beach. We particularly enjoyed the Restaurante Bar El Muelle right at the end of the street on the beach from the building location, it has lounges and hammocks where you can enjoy a day a the beach in a full service bar and restaurant. Hard to beat!
Worst place ever
We booked our stay in this property to go with my family the first week in January. I wrote an email one week before going there to ask the owner the instruction to check in. He wrote back saying everything is ready, ask for Edgar. We got there at 1pm (he never said at what time we had to be there) and nobody knew we were coming. Mr. Edgar said, we are not expecting you, Mr. Santiago didn't tell me anything about it. The conditions of the building were terrible, super old, dirty and smelling really bad. The elevators took forever to get to the floor. We went upstairs to change while they were "cleaning" the apartment. I can't even describe the conditions of the apartment. We witnessed the cleaning lady "shaking" the sheet and put it them back in the bed instead of changing them. The apartment, the building, the location, have ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with what the owner advertise. There are 2 big buildings blocking the view, and what you can actually see is an inch of water.
We left the property immediately, and when we contacted the owner he didn't even show intention of helping just because we showed up before the checking time. Their fault for letting us go up and see that disaster. There is no way they can clean that mess.
Don't waist your money in this property, it in really bad. Putting a formal claim with VRBO!!!
