I NEED A 2 BEDROOM FURNISHED (VERSALLES)

I've been to Cali many times...for a few weeks or shoter times .Now I,m coming for at least 2 months ,probably longer and will probably obtain a business visa in Miami so I can live there for extended periods. I'm looking for a furnished place in or near Versalles or Pacara..or somewhere in the north. Does anyone have any ideas...thanks ahead of time.

JP, what price range are you looking for? I have a 3/2 plus maid's quarters in Sta. Monica Alta, very sweet, but unfurnished.

OUCH Monita....I did not know they were made so tough in the Netherlands...by the way what is the gringo trail? (seriously)
I have a friend in town I can stay with and share some expenses..but I like my own space.
Billy where is Sta. Monica Alta with respect to Versalles?

Gringo trail is a specific area in the north... many gringo's never ever seem to leave that area.. LOL
I am dutch, but very anti the leftist-liberal way that you are FORCED to be there....... that is just a bunch of crap...

JP, it is across the sexta from Versalles, up on the hill just north of Granada. It is strato 6. You can walk to Versalles from there no problem.

Thank you Monita...I'll be sure to look out for Gringo droppings should I wander through Chipichape ( am I on the right track ?) . Personally I prefer La 14 de Calima or El Centro...you know when when in Rome do as the Romans:)....I like the area of Versalles because I have friends nearby and am beginning to know my way around ..seems like a good place to start . Monita what part of town are you in and if I'm not mistaken are you also in the rental biz?
Billy and Monita my email direct is jpseast at comcast.net...Billy more info on the apt. would be a help $$ you guys I do phone a lot better...I live in Miami and will be coming down 1st week in Aug. would like to call and speak to either or both of you. Thanks for your responses.

El centro is not really safe for foreigners, try to stay away from there unless you must.
I am not in the rental business but I do rent my apartment if that is what you mean.
I worked for a while in the north and know some things there, but have never lived there. Right now I am living in a town next to cali (way more up north.. LOL)... I have lived in Cali for a long time and still most of my family lives there. I used to live in the south, well actually more like the central part of Cali. If you want to talk to me feel free to message me, I believe messages go straight to my email, if you need me. I will be glad to write you.

jp, talk about coincidences, just yesterday it got rented. But there has been so much new construction in Cali, that there are for rent signs all over the place. Your best option would be to stay in a hotel for the first couple of days, so you can have a chance to look around and see which 'hoods you like best and get to look at a lot of different apts before you make a choice.
