Ocean-Front Luxury Apartment with Amazing Views.

This is a unique one bedroom apartment located at the heart of the old colonial city center, within the 16th Century wall, one block away from 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 artists that live in Spain and used it sporadically during holidays. It´s a luxurious apartment with all kinds of amenities, i.e. broad-band WIFI internet, satellite LED TV, free national calls, wash and dryer, air conditioning, oven, daily cleaning, 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 in a relatively quiet residential area. You can see and hear the ocean and take a swim in the nearby, literally a hundred yards, beach.

First time in Cartagena
We loved our stay in this apartment. It was close to everything and they were super responsive to our every need. It was very handy to have the little store downstairs which somehow had most everything you could need! We adored our 'maid' Irina. She was delightful and did an excellent job. She even went and brought us lunch one day!! Awesome.

Perfect place / location
Well equiped apartment in an excellent location. Very good air conditioning. Very clean and comfortable bed. Good bathroom but only luke warm water. Washing m/c and dryer was a lifesaver with how many changes of clothes i had to do daily because of the heat. Excellent wifi. Had a secure safe. Local music at night on weekend but welcome to Cartagena! Did not bother me. Nice welcome package with fruit and cookies. Excellent host. Very accomodating

Cartagena Trip
from the moment we booked our trip, the communication was great and on time. Once we arrived, both host and staff were available to answer any questions we had. They greeted us with a gift basket, which was very kind of them. They were able to provide cleaning services at your request. The area is not crowded which was good for us. It was quiet the whole time during our stay. We will definitely book them again and highly recommend them.

Good Time
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.

In the walled city of Cartegena
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.

Details of the property not listed on the site
My first impression of the building was very disappointing and distasteful when entering the building. When walking pass security there is cracked cement and throughout the walk up the stairs there were water bugs on the ground. Some of the furniture in the apartment was very outdates and overly used. The towels and sheets felt very old and bright white sheets and towels should be used. The host and housekeeper were very pleasant and accomodating.

Left the property on day three of 7 day booking. To be fair, the host was very apologetic and provided a partial refund. This property has HUGE potential, and I hope they get there.

Beautiful apartment! Great location - Strict on unregistered visitors
This is a great place to stay when visiting Cartagena. It is very secure and quiet so you will sleep great at night. However, you will not be able to bring any unregistered guest to visit you not even during the day. So, this is almost like a prison as my family was not allowed in. other than that is great if you are never going to have friend or family over while you are in town.

FANTASTIC APARTMENT, FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!
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!!!

Awesome location
We stayed 3 nights in April, 2014. The location is spectacular. Apartment was very clean and nice. Staff was superb. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was the noise. On Friday night a large group of young people gathered out front and partied until late in the night. On Saturday, the girls in the apartment next door partied from 5PM to midnight with the music volume cranked to the absolute max (deafening) and sang and danced non-stop for 7 hours. I know that is Colombia, but they did not even invite us.

Great Stay
I had a wonderful stay at Alberto's apartment. If you're looking for a 5 star hotel experience, this isn't for you. If you want to be immersed into a local culture, with friendly local people keep reading. The apartment is clean, well maintained and super convenient to grocery store, the city center etc. What makes this Apt. a must do is the staff. Cristina and Franklin are wonderful people. They will do whatever is necessary to make your stay enjoyable. I really, can't say enough about them. Bathroom was big. Nice shower. I love this place. It's not that I hope I will be back,...I will be back.

Great sunset location within city walls!
The host had excellent communication with us from the moment we confirmed the reservation. Instructions and details were accurate and clear. We were greeted at our arrival by one of the host who was kind enough to hold onto our luggage while we explored the city until it was time to check in. Place was as described, lots of storage. Washer and dryer in unit was helpful. There was a small convenience store on the first floor of the building, next to the security desk, that had all types of drinks and snacks. The location was a few steps from the wall where you could see the sunset. It was also walking distance for the majority of the restaurants and attractions yet far enough to have a peaceful retreat from the crowds. Very spacious. Would definitely recommend!!

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. Dan & Philip Seattle, WA

Modern, clean and convenient
My wife and I just returned from Cartagena and had an absolutely wonderful time. Really topping off our stay was the accommodations. If you are coming to Cartagena I would highly recommend this property. To begin, the apartment is very modern, updated and comfortable. For the two of us, it was perfect. Also, being within the old city, it was very convenient to walk and explore and taste (there is no shortage of fantastic restaurants within the area). Alberto and his staff were more than accommodating and made you feel right at home. One small item, however, do not judge 'a book by its cover.' When arriving, the facade of the building is a bit rough, however this is only the exterior leading to a real gem! We will be back, highly recommended!!!

Clean, Convenient, Relaxing and Stylish
I had a perfect one week stay at this property. The unit is clean and well furnished. I love the huge pieces of art in the apartment and I had several Catagenian(?) guests that visited me that were really impressed with the style. Both air conditioners work well to keep you cool when you need it. I tried to be a good guest and only use them when necessary because electricity is expensive here. You can get excellent cross ventilation from the two balconies through the front door. The door is gated so you can lock the gate and leave the door open while you are inside. The neighborhood is totally safe, the building has pleasant 24 hour security and the building is mostly local tenants, but not exclusively. It is very close to dozens of restaurants and a leisurely walk to site seeing areas and shopping areas. I also have to commend then property managers. All three, Marta, Christina and Franklin,who live in the apartment just down the hall are tremendously helpful and very friendly. I had cleaning everyday which I don't normally expect when I rent an apartment. I was able to borrow extra towels for the beach and every time I talked to them, they always ask me if there is anything more they can do and to please just ring the bell if I need anything any time of the day or night. Much different than the service you find elsewhere in the city. I will stay here again the next time I am in Cartagena.

Loved everything about the property. Just FYI - if you will be planning on having friends over to the property for a drink or dinner to mention that while you complete the application process. If they are not checked in prior to your arrival, they will not be able to enter the property.
