Well located apartment in a building with local residents
Well located apartment in a building with local residents, close to restaurants, shopping, everything. In a very secure building on the 3rd floor, the apartment is comfortably and stylishly furnished. Not in its prime, the unit can use a little attention to creaky doors and other mechanical inconveniences. Best thing about the unit are Claudia and Marta, the caretakers. Cleaning everyday, they are lovely. Air-con can be better but did their job adequately. Would definitely rent again from Alberto who has been responsive and helpful.
Loved it!
We flew into Cartagena after 5 days in Medellin and were fortunate enough to land at this wonderful apartment. It was plenty large enough for two people, was clean and located inside the walled city, which we found much preferable to being in the high rise section outside the walls. We were hoping for a little more of the tradition and culture aspect than the pure tourist aspect and this is the location for that. Also, the caretakers, Marta and Claudia were fantastic, friendly and extremely helpful. We highly recommend this place and thank Alberto for the privilege of staying there.
A nice place,but need to know a few things.
Expect to buy household supplies, easily done in market only 3 blocks from house. Not much provided. Also expect lots of noise until very late in the evening from across the street. Do not expect to be lulled to sleep with the waves. Air conditioning is great! Here also the water costs more than beer! The beach is not that close and not very nice, but by taxi you can go to playa Castillo grande and other beaches much calmer and without so much traffic. An EXCELLENT place for pizza is Rustic Pizza Gourmet,on Centro de calle. Very close to apt.
Very comfortable in this apartment.
We were very pleased with this apartment. It was spacious, clean and had a great view of the ocean. The location in the old city is walking distance to everything. I especially like the location of the bedroom as it was like a cocoon area surrounded by other rooms around it, making sleeping great. It was wonderful having daily cleaning service. Christina made the beds, changed linens/towels and cleaned the apartment.
Highly recommended.
mi tercera vez y cada vez mejor....
Cada vez que voy Cartagena me quedo en este delicioso y super comfortable apartamento, la vista al mar y la ubicacion espectaculares, la atencion por parte de Cristina y todo el personal de la recepcion ha sido fantastica, no veo la hora poder regresar por mi cuarta vez.....
muchas gracias
The perfect place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Cartagena ! Booking was super easy and Alberto was very helpful in the process. When we arrived, Christina was there to meet us and make sure we got settled in. Christina also made sure we had everything we needed and was very helpful to us for the whole week. Thanks Christina! The location is great in the NE section of the old walled city. Close to a large supermarket (Exito) for everything you could possibly want. The location and unit were quiet enough to allow for a good nights sleep and the AC worked great, which was wonderful after a day out in hot and humid Cartagena. Make sure to take a day trip to Playa Blanca - a very nice beach about an hour away.
Thanks Alberto! We hope to stay here again.
