Bogota (Chapinero) Community Extended Stay Rooms

Got a great house in Chapinero Alto, I'm looking to rent rooms to some great people looking for longer stays of 2 months or more for all the right reasons; individuals working for NGO's or along those lines, folks that enjoy community, enjoy bi-lingual and a multi cultural atmosphere, cooking, hanging out and bbq's, intelligent conversation, sport pick-up games and just going out.

Looking for folks that and work and play hard!

Rent:
Rent depends upon duration of stay and size of room chosen. Some rooms have private baths for example. You can expect about 450-600 mil per month or roughly $USD 225-300 per month--right in the market with local housing prices. Far cheaper than bogotacolombialodging.com, welovebogota.

The Immediate Neighborhood:
1 block away is the local corner grocery store "San Francisco," and next door are the laundromat and a seamstress shop. Also within 1 block is the local basketball/microfootball court.

Within 4 blocks away there is (these are just my favorites):
1. a PHENOMENAL Espana sandwich shop, a little hole in the wall run by a grandmotherly woman named Indira;
2. a manhattan style bar and resturaunt called BASICO;
3. a resturaunt called "Mini-Mal" with exquisite foods from many cultures such as Japanese Blowfish and Native Colombian recipies
4. a bar called "el treffen" with not only a drinks menu but also a games menu (scrabble, poker, uno, etc etc).

The Larger Neighborhood:
The house is off calle 57 above and away from the noise of carrera 7 but within a few minutes walk to this central artery of transport.

Chapinero Alto is just south of Andino, the Embassy district, and Zona Rosa (nightlife), and just North of Candelaria and the historic district bars and hostels. Its right smack dab in the middle--a great location--and a 5 minute busride/20 minute walk to either main zone of employment (given good traffic). For longer travels in the city, from the house it is an 8 minute walk to the city's much revered Transmilenio Bus System.
