This space was exactly what was advertised. Beautiful natural light peering through the windows that open to two very cute faux balconies which I did not expect. The high ceilings and open layout make it seem larger than it is. The hot water and A/C was perfect and the area itself is a great location, nestled by a corner restaurant, convenience stores, and the like. Rita was an amazing host who was quickly responsive and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

Im a colombian who enjoys traveling and work in the arts as well. What I love most about hosting is showing people from all over the world what Cartagena, and Colombia, has to offer.

Why they chose this property

My apartment is in the middle of the old town, walking distance to most places. From business sites to museums and restaurants, in a heartbeat.

What makes this property unique

A preservation building from the 1940’s, with high ceilings and lots of light give you a sense of what the tropics are all about. You just need to enjoy it!!
