Very nice apartment in The best area of Bogota

I have stayed there about a week ago. Very nice apartments with new furniture, clean with punctual service. The management makes you feel at home and there are no hidden costs. There is a free airport service from airport to apartment and the driver (robinson) is a very cool person who speaks english. The owners, both husband & wife, are very professional type people who understand the needs of clients and make personal visits to make sure everything is in place. We had internet problems with wi fi signal being too weak. I am sure they have it all fixed by now because the tech was working to fix the problem as we were leaving. The cable channels come in clear, the fridge is big and the kitchen is spotless. I say, if you want to spend a vacation in peace and maintain your privacy this is far better deal than any hotel I have ever stayed in colombia.
They will get my business ever time I am in bogota.

No veo cuanto lista de precios en su sitio. Cuanto cobran la noche por apartamentos de una habitación? Tengo que encontrar un sitio nuevo en Bogota porque no me gusta quedarme con familiares y el hotel que nos gusta nos dejo plantados a la media noche la vez pasado porque nos cancelaron la reservacion.

¿Ve, CB, y por qué no te gusta quedarte con tus familiares?

Porque no tengo diez años como para irme a quedar con mi abuelita o algún otro familiar.

La ultima vez que me quede donde mi abuela, me dio mucha lata. Yo soy muy ordenado y limpio cualquier reguero que yo haga, pero aparentemente, deje una gótica de espuma en la ducha y le fue a contar a todo el mundo en la boda de mi prima lo inconsiderado que soy. Es mi abuela y la quiero, pero esas huevonadas no me las pienso aguantar. En su vejez se ha convertido en la típica señora creída de estrato 6.

The apartments are clean and new looking, the building has a security guard at the door and the main lobby door is always locked. The guests have to be announced by phone and they can only enter when you give permission. So you have an intercom telephone with lobby and a real telephone with all local calls free. Full cable TV and a huge master bedroom and a standard 2nd bedroom. The 2 bedroom apartment costs 80 dollars / night so between 2 people the price cuts in half. You can bring in guests everyday and no one will ask any questions. When you leave, you are on the main avenue (116) so getting a taxi is only a hand motion away. There are small tiendas (stores) or better knowns to many as colmados , bodegas where you can buy beer, soft drinks, juices and cigarettes etc. There are real restaurants in walking distance and even a mcdonalds. Zona rosa is only 10 minutes or less by taxi and if you walk 2 blocks you can go to Bogota beer company on avenida 19. This is a great place to meet people and enjoy good local beer in pints.

Is this one of the places that will rent out rooms in the same apartment to other people?

Perdon, quise decir CG, no CB.

CG,

Entiendo de lo que hablas, ahora me quedé con unos familiares y también sentía que ellos estaban encima de uno, buscando cualquiera huevonada para quejarse de uno. Pienso que uno puede quedarse con la familia a cualquier edad (no nos volvamos tan fríos como los gringos), pero a veces sí es mejor el hotel.

Tienes razón. Cuando se trata de otros familiares en Medellin o Neiva, no tengo problema quedarme con ellos.

Claro que también depende de la confianza que uno tiene con ciertos familiares, y los viejitos son más cansones que los jovenes.
