2 great Rooms available in El Poblado, close to Parque Lleras.

Room rentals are intended for Gringos or Foreigners / Extranjeros. This is because our apartment has a B&B style environment. 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. You can come to Medellin and spend money like crazy, or make a few good choices and conserve your money.

Great economy deal at only 40,000 - 50,000 PESOS / Day* This is an older penthouse apartment with 4 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!

HOW TO CONVERT ROOM RATE TO DOLLARS:
June 6, 2008 The market and banks are runing on the June 5,2008 closing rate of 1,709.73 PESOS PER DOLLAR

How to figure out room rates:
40,000 / 1,709.73 = 23.40
40,000 Pesos is equal to 23.40 US Dollars

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

USUALLY you want to focus on the pesos as far as the cost goes for the apartments, since the dollar is falling so much this year. GET YOUR QUOTES IN PESOS. :-) Some VIP apartments accept payment in dollars or pesos, but 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, with huge balconies overlooking El Poblado. So, don't pay gringo rates, and waste your money on those expensive VIP apartments. Save your money for going on dates with the ladies!

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!

Great info.

Be careful though. One of these $80-$100USD/nite owners might try to put a hit out on you.

Comin yur way gorgonabob. With my beleagured dollars $25,000 pesos sounds pretty good for Medellin. Next stop Bucaramanga and then onward to Medellin. Does anybody have any information concerning traveling the Pacific coast up to Jacque Panama? I would like to check out the surf spot at Nuqui or however its spelled. Anybody been down that way?
