Desperate Search in Barranquilla... Help!

Hey everyone... I am desperately searching, with my wife, for a decent aparte-studio or small furnished apartment in Barranquilla, preferable in the Barrio Boston area or close to calle 72 in the better areas near Prado/Boston. This is mostly for her, and while I am there visiting every few weeks for the next six months. Looking for NOWWWWWW!

PS...dont bother responding with overinflated gringo-prices. We aren't stupid, just looking for additional options via websites.

Barranquilla Apts Go to the website: barranguillabeauties.com

The owner of this Agency can put you in line with a apartment rental in Barranquilla. You wont get ripped off either. Good luck. Swearch the website very throughly and it is there. The Apartments for rent information. The owner is from Houston. Call him up. He will help you get a place in Barranquilla---cheap. safe too.

hmmmm... Thanks for the thought, but I'll pass on having to paw through an agency website to find a good listing of an apartment for rent.

The "lovemedellin website" is a piece of crap made by some moron who has only been to Medellin once...you'd be better off reading the Lonely Planet advice from a guy who never even came here!

LOL... Yes, I realize that... I guess I didnt make it clear that my wife IS Colombian and currently resides in Barranquilla. I was simply using this as an additional online tool to see if any stateside or other who are living in BAQ and visit this site had any options, or knew of any, and we wanted to research all the options!

Stay Home If I were YOU I would stay home.

Barranquilla will "eat you alive"...Excuse me for living "miguel"..

I bet you can spell every Spanish word perfectly.

Stay home chump.

Better yet why don't you just write a CHECK to Miguel and sign him over you bank account.

Take a vacation to Miami.

Then good ole Miguel will not "eat you alive"..

Later "estupido"..

You are a complete moron who knows nothing about me?!?!? People like you make this board less tolerable every day - just because not everyone bites on your whore-advertising websites.

It's amazing that you talk all kinds of shit about someone you dont know - I would gladly meet you anytime, anywhere and shut your mouth FOR you. Get a life, get a clue, and move on.

PS...thanks to those you you who did contact me privately to help. We did find a place, albeit difficult with her work, her school and taking care of her sobrinos!

Looking to buy I am looking to buy a apartment in Baranquilla. I have visited twice once during the Carnavales and just to tour the city and I love it. I am puerto rican with a Colombian woman. Does anyone know of a good agency. I have been looking and found several good places in the Buena Vista area at really good prices, but would like additional information. I want all the information I can get, before I we make a decision.

You wife should just walk around Most apartments are never advertised anywhere other than a sign in the window. Walk around, see the signs, call number posted on the signs... They are not even in the newspaper, nevermind a website or agency. She can take a taxi to the neighborhood of interest and walk around for an hour or two.
