Our friendly, traveler orienented space is ideal for travelers with easy access to the best of the city. Our personal knowledge of Medellin hotspots favored by other gringos will help you get off to a faster and more pleasant time here in Medellin. From learning Salsa, Ecotours, learning Spanish, or Dating paisas Medellin has a lot to offer.

Great economy deal at only 40,000 - 50,000 PESOS / Day* This is an older penthouse apartment with 3 bedrooms, and very spacious. I prefer the older building for its larger balconies and open air design. This is a classy apartment with real value savings.

SAVE MORE MONEY ON YOUR NEXT TRIP: TIP1 - Ask for the plate of the day (El Plato del Dia) AT LUNCH TIME, other wise you may get a basic menu which does not have the best prices. Plato del Dia has several variations of food in most restaruants. USUALLY only 6,500 - 8,000 pesos.

In 1 month extra room will be available with private 150 sq foot balcony with new queen bed and matress.

Save your money for partying and having a good time!

(this is a great site to keep up to date on the struggling dollar)

WATCH PRICES QUOTED IN DOLLARS:
The dollar has lost strength in the last month. This is not a huge amount unless you are looking at buying something. However, when SHOPPING APARTMENTS becareful of dollar amounts quoted 2 years ago. BE SURE TO ASK what the CURRENT room rate is in dollars or pesos. SOME places advertise old dollar rates but expect to be PAID in pesos. Call me direct and i can help you out if you get confused.

USUALLY you want to focus on the pesos as far as the cost goes for the apartments, since the dollar changes so much here. GET YOUR QUOTES IN PESOS. :-) Some VIP apartments accept payment in dollars or pesos, just be sure there prices on the INTERNET are up to date.

An economic apartment is a great way to save money and use it on important things like taking out the ladies, and having a fun time! This is an older but very spacious apartment. So, don't waste your money on those expensive VIP apartments. Your in Colombia, so if your trying to impress a girlfriend or boyfriend remember anything in El Poblado makes a good impression. Many people here live with their families into their 30s and 40s, and that's normal.

I am a single 40 year old guy that discovered Colombia 3 years ago. A real blessing in disguise! Come on down and visit, meet the expat community or just hang out with the beautiful people of Medellin. Always glad to show around other visiting gringos and foreigners!

My opinion: I am staying here now. My host James and his sweetheart Adriana run the B&B. It is very nice, very private and very safe here. Parque Llearas is about a 10 - 15 minute walk. It feels like home and the company of other Americans and 1 Aussie is very welcome. James showed me that he is booked for quite some time in advance, so if you are interested you should contact him well before you arrive. I highly recommend this place and would stay here again in the future.
