Lodging near US Embassy Bogota.

If you are in need of lodging in Bogota by the embassy I recommend Dona Flor's Guest House located just about 100 meters from the entrance to the US Embassy for visas. She owns a large house and rents 6 rooms many with private bath and hot water. Her price includes breakfast and there are some nice pastry shops aand restaurants right by her place.

Carrera 44C No. 22A-16-Quinta Paredes-Bogota
Tele: 011-57-1-269-8694 or 011-57-1-269-7436 FAX 011-57-1-269-3926
If you need someone who speaks English call Midia at 011-57-1-269-2530 who will let Dona Flor know you want to stay there.

Dona Flor charges around $50 a night but she may bargain if your stay is for an extended period. This is the best place I know of if you have to go to the embassy and this place is about 7.5 minutes from the airport. She can have her taxi man friend pick you up. He is very friendly as he gave us a tour of BOG one day in his van. She is located basically between North Bogota and the business center and Candaleria. Taxis and buses pass right up the street from her house and she can direct you to the right bus to get where you may have to go if you prefer to avoid taxis.

Very friendly lady and very good place to stay.

Dona Flor's son is there so you don't need to call Midia or Claudia but the first two numbers I posted above since her son speaks English.

Close to airport and 100 yrds/mtrs from US Embassy for visa seekers!

I stayed there also while my apartment was being finished. I would plug our own place but won't.
