how much costs rented room in bogota strado 6?????

Hi guys, recently, somebody - a friend of my friend - offered me a room to rent in Bogota in estrado 6. It is in a nice and posh area and includes also pool and gym which are in the block of flats.

Next September I plan to go to Colombia for one year time to study the language. Yet, I have been experiencing some problems when trying to find an open flight ticket... Does anyone know what airlines are selling them from Europe to Colombia? Obviously, I can`t get them on the internet as an ordinary return ticket.
