Monthly apartments or Apartahoteles in Barranquilla ?

Looking for furnished places to stay. Would like to spend under 700 USD/month, though after my latest experience I will consider paying more. Any recommendations? I need a place for 4-5 months ideally in the north part of town.

I've looked into some of the agencies (MCHAILEH being the most-recommended), their terms are generally too strict (no problem getting fiadores, just not friendly to monthly rentals).

Needs: Internet/Cable/AC/utilities ready to go, easier of all utils are included.

Estate agencies won´t let you rent anything month by month.

Best bet is places like Santa Innes. There a loads of places and they´ll give you better rates for longer stays. Look in paginas amarillas for lists of hotels.

South part of town? I can´t imagine you´d have to pay $1´350.000 a month! I think the rents are more like $400.000-$600.000.

See:

I have seen it and know people who stayed there. Not bad.
One block around the corner from Hotel El Prado.

How far south? I've been staying in the North right now though this is a bit too north, there's nothing out here (near Centro Commercial Miramar). Saw the Alvaro Jesus places, those are a bit pricey for what I'm looking to spend, that nearly doubles my housing costs. Anyone know what monthly rates are like at Sorrento or anything similar?
