that's about 564 000 peso which seems to be a bit expensive for a room with a private bath. Does it include any food? When I lived in Medellin in 2003 the normal gringo price for a nice room with a private bath was around 350000 including utilities. Colombians can usually find the same for 100 000 less

Has prices really gone up that much since I was there?

It's a good neighourhood though and a good place for a gringo to live.

Sounds High I paid 850,000 monthly, for a fully/over furnished apartment. 3 bed rooms, computer, free internet, hot water... bath tub and all bills included. And this was the gringo price, across the street from the Univ de Antioquia

not a criticism, just stating facts
