Medellin

I am thinking of taking at 1-2 week trip to Medellin to have fun . . . and also to do some Spanish studying. Where would you recommend I stay? It can be cheap or expensive.

Also, can you recommend a place where I can get one-on-one Spanish tutoring?

Any other places I should consider in Colombia?

pepe came close to my suggestion....find a gal friend, avoid foreigners and just hang out with your 'squeeze' and enjoy yourselves speaking only spanish. tons of places to stay, on the $$up side, las palmas, poblado, down scale,laureles, envigado belin or even centro. depends on you.
