mcheasley comments on Cost of unfurnished prime apartment rentals in Medellin

An example from last month in Poblado.. UNfurnished 2/3 in a great bldg across the street from oviedo and sheraton with great amenities... Bldg is new and everyone seemed really nice... 2 nice grocery stores within a block... Nice size balcony and a nice view for under $600.month without utilities.... Edificio Murano...

mcheasley comments on Let's make PBH a friendly site!!

Trvlr, I know how you feel... I used to come to this site quite often for useful info... Now only once in awhile... Too much bashing...

welcome CG....

 

mcheasley comments on APARTA-HOTELS IN MEDELLIN

Andrew and Max are first rate.. I have rented many times from them in the past.. As recently as last month.... These guys are for real and run an excellent operation... There rates for what you get are more than fair... There are numerous people on the net that have apartment rental businesses in Medellin and i have seen their apartments, (the same or more money and not nearly as nice)... The reason Andrew needs a deposit up front is because he gets booked up really fast... As of this month i no longer need their services since i now have a house, but i reccomend them to anyone visiting Medellin...

 

mcheasley comments on Stricter smoking ban takes effect in Medellin, Colombia on December 01, 2008

hi Spy... I hadn't heard about this yet....

 

mcheasley comments on Colombia Airport Fee's

In October when departing MDE, as usual i went to the tax window and they pointed to a sign on the wall saying an increase in taxes as of Nov 1, 08.. They made sure to point this out to everyone ... Then they stamped and i departed.... AA has always included the departure fee in my ticket price....

mcheasley comments on Visa for an American..

No offense, but your post makes absolutely no sense at all.... You might try explaining the situation in more detail and clear up who the visa is for and who the american is... And visa to go where?? What Papers and Apostile?? sorry, but its confusing... good luck....

 

mcheasley comments on Things in Colombia that should be CHEAP that are really EXPENSIVE Or Visa Versa

We did most of our shopping in Centro (where the streets are closed to cars) and found the prices alot more affordable and the same brands as the big stores and chains... Appliances, tv's, and so on.... The exchange rate made it an easy decision to not ship...

 

mcheasley comments on INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSES FOR TEACHERS

I gave up on trying to make any sense of the site...

 

mcheasley comments on Anyone used the services of these people?

mcheasley comments on Things in Colombia that should be CHEAP that are really EXPENSIVE Or Visa Versa

Bluesdude, Just took 5 oversize flight cases loaded down to Mde on AA, and the rest i am shipping through TCC out of MIA... 95 cents a pound and items arrive the day before you fly in so everythings waiting for you... If you want contact info PM me....

 

mcheasley comments on Anyone used the services of these people?

Never heard of them....

 

mcheasley comments on Things in Colombia that should be CHEAP that are really EXPENSIVE Or Visa Versa

When shopping last week in Medellin for everything for the new house I was surprised that the cost of 32-42 in Tv's with the current exchange rate were almost equal to the states... Appliances for the kitchen were also equivalent with the good exchange rate... So much for shipping from NC.... We found the quality of alot of furniture (not all) to be quite uncomfortable and poor quality.... As far as groceries go, a decent selection of U.S. products at Carulla (though a little higher price)... I took my list of items to Home Center to compare as far as tools, pressure washer and so on.. I will be shipping these items south... As far as rents go for apartments and casas, very good prices can be found in nice areas...

 

mcheasley comments on CONCRETE

Great question David.. Saved me the trouble of asking.... Going to start building in Feb or March...

 

mcheasley comments on Looking to rent a apartment in Medellin

MANYC, there are lots of rooms for rent in Medellin for short term... If you decide to stay for a while there is an abundance of casas and apartments for rent here and very reasonable... We just spent 10 days looking and decided yesterday on a house for 6 months since we are going to build... Amazed at the selection at this time... It was hard to decide.. Good Luck!!!

 

mcheasley comments on Medallo Limo! Update

Mongo, i will call you when i get back with some new info i found out about shipping to Colombia....

 

mcheasley comments on Medallo Limo! Update

Hi all, Good luck with Medallo Limo.. I emailed 4 times last week and never heard from them... I finally found a phone # for them and they said the car was in the shop.. they would call me the next day.. Never heard from them... I found a service that is excellent to pick me up at MDE yesterday and will be using them while i am here for 2 weeks... We usually do the taxi route, but house hunting this time...

mcheasley comments on Anyone have the phone # for Medallo Limo

A bus is not an option when i'm flying in with 5 large flight cases... Plus, we will be house hunting and a bilingual driver would make things a little easier...
