The property was nice with amazing views and was in a great location for beaches and touring the local Island. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals and serving a family. There were also plenty of locations for groceries, alcohol, and shopping. There are little details in the apartment that need attention, but they didn’t effect our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

This was a good property and large rooms. The air conditioning was good and the patio was nice. Though I didn't use the kitchen it looked very functional. There were a couple of maintenance matters that needed to be taken care of, and I did report it. The place it secure. The penthouse is on the 25th floor and it takes a little longer to get to the top, but that was no real issues. There are some restaurants one block away and small stores. Larger restaurants and businesses three blocks away. No issue getting Ubers and fairly convenient getting to town. The two bedrooms were comfortable for family and friends to be there as well.

The view was amazing! The property was clean and consistent with the photos. However, the property presented with substantial signs of wear, with rust and deterioration on much of the metal found on furniture and fixtures. There was a nominal fee to change sheets and no top cover (only a fitted sheet and flat sheet were included on the beds) accompanied the bedding. There is a washing machine but no dryer (machine). The host was nice and responsive. Overall, this property is truly a gem and extremely wonderful for the price. I would definitely return!

Pros: Location. Penthouse, with panoramic views of the Caribbean. Large apartment, nicely sleeps 4, can do more with a pullout couch. Has a washing machine. Good a/c. Cons: Ants. Ants, ants, ants. Caretaker sprayed, we spread poison, they still came. Also stove doesn't work -- caretaker tried....

We have a solution: New York is -15C and you are guaranteed not to have ants. LOts of ICE , though. If you come to Colombia you are going to see not only ants, but birds, lizards, fish of all kinds. We did everything we could, but you insisted on leaving food on the counter. We told the ants to avoid your foods, but they were hungry.

Guest refused to follow house rules. We asked him politely, but he was interested to bringing unregistered guests that put him and us at risk. Guest did not want to pay registration fee. We have plenty of great experiences with our guests and always work to resolve their issues, but Lynden was determine to get a discount on his stay and created a hostile environment for us. As you can see from our previous reviews, we have great service and out guest generally leave happy with our service.

Comprehensive review

There is a lot to say about this property. I will try to be comprehensive. The positives far out weigh the negatives. It is large and fairly modern. The views are stunning and the location is great for going to the beach. Prior to booking it i read all of the reviews. I found some of the same issues listed when I arrived. Before I go into them let me preface this by saying that I was able to fix almost all of them easily without having building maintenance get involved. For example the worst review spoke about a septic smell. I experienced it on the second day and immediately knew the cause and the solution. I was only using one of the bathrooms. The other had not been used. Water needs to be in the drain trap to block the septic gasses from entering the living space. This had evaporated with the lack of use. Turning on the water and opening the window solved the problem almost instantly. I made it a point to do this every day for my stay and never had an issue. The bedrooms have air-conditioning and fans but the living room air-conditioner did not work with any of the remotes. This was the only thing I could not find a solution for during my stay. The bathroom sink leaked. This was an easy fix for me because I know plumbing. My fix was temporary because it was a modern bowl type of sink that sits above the countertop. The issue is because the sink was never adhered to the countertop properly. If you touched it so that it moved even slightly the tailpipe wo

Top 10 Reasons NOT to stay here!

Top 10 reasons why you should pass on this property: #10. The outside of the building is really scary looking. #9. Upon entering the penthouse, the horrendous sewage smell will knock you blind (so you will never experience the penthouse view). #8. The host will literally ignore you after you pay. #7. The sewage smell inside the apartment will make you nauseous. #6. Bring your own face towels, paper towels, extra tissue (only 2 rolls provided), any desired toiletries (the suggestion of luxury is just that--- a suggestion). #5. Did I mention the smell? #4. Bring your own air-conditioner for the master bedroom (that's only if you desire cool comfort in 80 degree weather); however, if you prefer a sauna-like room, this will be perfect for you. #3. Oh, and about that penthouse view ....you know those blinders they put on the horses in Centro to keep them focused----pack a pair, you will need them if you look right or left--- the view is really not like the pics. #2. Bring your own blanket/comforter... you won't be provided any with this booking (except, if you occupy the master bedroom.... (well, you know). #1. Did I mention the smell??? Pack oxygen mask. ( NOTE: We left after the first day... didn't ask for a refund. We figured a property as classless as this, wouldn't be inclined at all to do the right thing. The negative reviews on this property are not liars... we should have listened 😢.)

Por favor lee las reseñas anterriores antes de reservar.

El lugar tiene una vista hermosa , ya que se encuentra ubicado en el ultimo piso 25. El apartamento es agradable, pero lastimosamente tuve que irme temprano al dia siguiente, no dormimos nada porque se sentia mucho calor, el aire de la habitacion principal jamas enfrio, y la segunda habitacion tenia un olor a cañeria muy fuerte , asi que tuve que dormir con mi pequeña niña en la sala, pero nada comodo, el aire de la sala al parecer es pequeño para todo el espacio, asi que aun se sentia calor. Habia un ventilador de techo, pero solo esta de lujo, no funciona y no cuentan con ventiladores de piso adicionales. Por mi experiencia no lo recomendaria.

Yessenia, thank you for your review. From the moment you arrived you complaint about our property. We cleaned the property again for you and you still where not happy about it. We did a second cleaning at our own expense and you were not happy. Our last resort was to offer you a refund, which is what you originally were looking for and you still were unhappy. We did all we could to help you. We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay and are a bit disappointed to read such a negative review after all the effort we made to make you happy. As you can see from our previous reviews, our property is well ranked and we this is because of the quality of our apartment and the service we provide.

About the host

Hosted by Santiago Afanador

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.

Why they chose this property

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 property 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.
