Vilma is een heel aardige gastvrouw die ons meteen welkom deed voelen in haar woning. Ze liet ons heel rustig de kamer zien waar wij mochten slapen en nam de tijd en stond voor ons klaar om al onze vragen te beantwoorden. Haar woning is gelegen in de wijk Getsemani in Cartagena waar de meeste hostels, café's en restaurants van heel Cartagena zijn te vinden. De kamer waarin wij sliepen was schoon en opgeruimd en voorzien van airconditioning. Wel zo fijn in het warme en vochtige Cartagena. De badkamer was ook schoon en er was een fijne douche aanwezig.

Vilma is the best. Extremely kind and hospitable!!! She walked with us around the neighborhood and showed us good places to eat and go. She will meet you wherever you are, with your Spanish. My Spanish isn't the best but I can understand it well so we communicated easily. Vilma is such a good host, she will cook breakfast for you, and be there for whatever you may need during your stay. She is also wellspring of information. Ask plenty of questions, dont be shy! I recommend you stay with her in her home if you are looking for an authentic experience. Plus its very close to La Plaza Trinidad which is super fun every night! The house is very clean, and stays cool in the hot weather. If you are lucky like us you may even make friends with your housemates staying there at the same time. ENJOY!

Vilma was a great host. Her house is very nicely decorated, clean and quiet. We slept very well and really appreciated the quiet but efficient AC. The neighborhood is perfect for any foodie - the house is on the same street as Cafe Lunatico and the wonderful Indonesian restaurant. I highly recommend Vilma's place.

Vilma was an excellent host. She was helpful with all our questions and requests. She kept the place clean and made us feel very welcome. The neighborhood is in walking distance of the old city and lots of restaurants. We highly recommend this place!

Vilma was a very gracious host and was always accessible for questions and help. She keeps the house very clean. She served me coffee and pineapple which was a nice treat. My first evening in Cartagena the power went out for about 4 hours which made me nervous because without AC, it would have been difficult to sleep since Cartagena is impossibly hot and humid. The AC works quite well, perhaps too well as the bed only has a sheet. (I did not ask for another blanket.)

This Place is clean and very central. Their are also a lot of Restaurants around. Vilma is a wonderful Host from the first minute when I arrived she takes care about everything. Also at the Morning she served a nice coffee. I would highly recommend this place. 5 Stars +

We had an EXCELLENT experience with Vilma. She's warm, conversational, and sincere. The rooms have air conditioner (which is an ABSOLUTE must in Carthagena) that worked well, and didn't make irregular sounds like many do.

Vilma is a very nice host. The flat is located smack in the middle of Getsemini which is bursting with little restaurants and bars. Definitely recommend!

Anya and Mario were the best hosts ever. Despite being busy with their daily life, they made great efforts to make my stay in Getsemani a amazing one. I hung out at Mario's bar a couple of doors down, met some of their friends in the neighbourhood, and got the perfect local feel. Mario even shipped the phone I left behind to my next stay in Santa Marta and covered the cost. If you're looking for an area that's less polished than Centro or San Diego and with more character, Getsemani is it. And Anya and Mario are your hosts.

Anya and her husband Mario gave me lots of local tips and guidance during the trip. And the location is really cool, there is a plaza about 5min walk. Hundreds of people will get together there every night and dance. It is a great way to experience true Cartagena!!!

We had the most amazing stay in Cartagena. The apartment was in the perfect location, it was extremely comfortable and the kitchen was even well stocked for us on arrival! Anya and her husband Mario were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and give us advice on the best things to see/do and delicious places to eat while in Cartagena. Highly recommend!!

LITERALLY PERFECT. The best location, in a great apartment with strong wifi and air conditioning. I couldn't possibly rave about the place (or Any) more. Any was so helpful, friendly and funny.. with fantastic recommendations. And spectacularly responsive.. I'm so thankful we chose her airbnb.

Wow, almost left speechless after our stay with Anya. To call her a host is almost to downplay it, more like a second mother while travelling. When we arrived she provided us with a map, pointing out places to visit, restaurants to check out, and some of the local beaches. Very accommodating, easy to talk to and responds to any question you may have (via email, air bnb, or imessanger) immediately. Gave great recommendations for the area everything is no more than a ten to twenty minute walk from where the apartment is or if you'd rather a cab rides are cheap. On a side note I was a little under the weather during my stay there and Anya even went out of her way to get me the medication i needed. I would love to stay with Anya again if ever back in Cartagena.

Anya es increíble; estaba instalando chapa con seguro en el cuarto cuando llegamos. El cuarto tiene aire acondicionado, internet, llave en el closet para dejar las cosas. El apartamento es bonito, esta limpio, bien ubicado. Hay rumba a una cuadra pero no nos molestó demasiado. Solo hay agua fría, pero es la costumbre en Cartagena. Cerca de todos los lugares de interés y ubicado en buena zona. Excelente anfitriona, super recomendada :D

This location was perfect for a visit to Cartagena. It's a 10 min walk from the entrance into the main city center, so very convenient for sightseeing. The apartment is right down the block from the central Getsemani plaza, where there were great street snacks anytime of day or night and plenty of people watching! I was traveling alone, and I felt very comfortable walking around the neighborhood. Anya and Mario are very hospitable and checked in with me often! Mario also owns a restaurant just a few doors down, so that helps a lot too! I would highly recommend this spot!

We had an amazing stay at Anyas place! Very nice looking apartment and the location cant be any better! The kitchen is well equipped and had all the essentials like sugar, oil etc. Anya also provided breakfast material. The beds are super comfortable and even had a duvet, that is rare in Cartagena. Anya was a perfect host, she explained us everything we needed to know about the neighboruhood and gave us a map. It was always very easy to reach her when we had questions. She is a lovely person and made us feel very welcome. We will definately book her place again if we return to Cartagena. Thank you!

Angela es encantadora, fue atenta con todo lo que necesitamos, y nos sentimos como en casa. La casa es acogedora se condice con las fotos publicadas. El barrio es cercano a todos los puntos turisticos y por una tarifa modica de taxi puedes transladarte si no te gusta caminar. Quiero destacar que es muy buena cocinera!

If u want to get the real columbian impression of how private citylife can be do stay with Angela in this lovely old colonial style house. She and her son Jesus are wonderful hosts. Muy amicable con un corazon enorme. Openminded, easygoing and dedicated to help and make their guests feel comfortable. And not only because she spoils you with breakfast and helps take care of the travellers loads of laundry. The room is clean and cosy and will have aircon soon, which makes hot Cartagena even more comfy. Muchas gracias para todo!!

The appartment is located very good - close to old town (10 min walk), but in a quite and safe area. The room is very clean and bed comfortable. Angela is very nice host, she helped us with bus connection and gave some advices for Cartagena. I can recomend to stay here for sure.

Angela was SO wonderful and kind! My boyfriend had an ear infection and she made a traditional Colombian medicine to help him! Her place is great, great location and it was so fun to stay with her. She made us breakfast and was on hand to offer us help and advice. Her kitties are very sweet as well! We had a great time staying with her and highly recommend Angela!

Fue super bien con Angela! Ella esta super amable y nos ha ayudado mucho. Gracias por todo!

Thank you Angela and Jesús for the lovely stay at your place. Everything was fine and the people are warm-hearted and very helpful. The rooms, bathroom and living room are clean. Towels were included. Also in terms of food we were thoroughly taken care of, Angela is a passionate cook and everyday there are people coming over to eat. It was always a pleasure to join. Breakfast was included and okay. We loved the Lullo juice! Cartagena is a very hot place, we were always provided with a fan. Hope to see you again, Florian and Manuel

Angela muchas gracias por tu simpatía. La estancia fue perfecta y el desayuno es estupendo. La habitación esta muy bien ubicada, cerca de los bares y restaurantes. Gracias Angela.

Au début on devait rester 2 nuits, mais on s'est tellement sentis bien que finalement on est restés 5 jours! Al principio era solo para 2 noches, pero estabamos tan bien en la casa de Angela que finalmente nos quedamos 5 dias! Angela sabe recibir y dar buenos consejos Gracias Angela!!

Excellent ! L'appartement est très bien situé (Getsemani). Les hôtes sont très sympathiques. Très beau séjour à Carthagène !

My recent stay at Patrick's place in Getsemani was really wonderful. The street that the residence is on is lovely and relaxed, with lots of cool street art (murals) and a great little public center a short walk away. The walled city, too, is in close proximity. There are a lot of dining options nearby, from sit down to street food, and I found them all to be delicious. Patrick was helpful when weather necessitated a change in my travel plans. The hosts that live in the home (second floor, though downstairs where the room is during the day) were very kind to me. I found them to be approachable and engaging, while also respecting my space when I needed a siesta. Their dog is a sweetheart. I thought the room, atmosphere, and location to be really lovely. I found it to be appropriately priced and I would stay there again. Enjoy!

Ubicación súper accesible a cualquier punto de interés. Agradable habitación, tal como la describen.

Si quieren alojarme en una auténtica casa estilo colonial, pero con los adelantos tecnológico, en medio de un Barrio Tradicional (Getsemaní) y a pocos metros del Barrio Histórico de Cartagena, ésta es la mejor opción

My husband and I spent four wonderful nights at Patrick's home in Cartagena, and we would recommend the room to all. While we did not meet Patrick, we did have the pleasure to meet family of Patrick, Alberto and Griselda, who live in the home. The home is beautiful, the location is perfect, and Alberto and Griselda are warm and accommodating. We hope to be back!

My girlfriend and I stayed in Cartagena a couple days and didn't regret our decision to stay at Patrick's place. It's a very beautiful home and Griselda and Alberto were super nice and easy to talk to. The location is perfect as it's close to Old Town and was pretty quiet at night which was rare at other places we stayed at in Colombia. Patrick was attentive and easy to get a hold of when coordinating our trip. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Cartagena.

Es hat alles super geklappt mit Kontakt, Antwort, Zimmer, etc. Auch, dass wir unsere genaue Ankunftszeit erst sehr kurzfristig bekannt geben konnten (hatten keinen Zugang zu Internet und keine Handys) war letztlich kein Problem. Das Zimmer ist in sehr guter Lage und Cartagena eine wunderschoene Stadt. Wir durften die Kueche benutzen, allgemein war alles sauber und der Hund mochte uns auch :-) Es war auch nicht zu heiss im Zimmer (Klimaanlage). Danke, dass alles so einfach und unkompliziert war! Ich wuerde die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!!!

Me hospedé con mi pareja durante 4 días. La casa es muy bonita y muy bien ubicada, cerca de algunos destinos turísticos, y a cinco minutos caminando de la Ciudad Amurallada. Queda muy cerca de restaurantes con muy buena comida, y la zona es muy segura. La habitación en muy cómoda, muy aseada y el aire acondicionado funciona perfecto. Alberto y Griselda, quienes habitan en la casa, son muy atentos y amables. Tienes la oportunidad de utilizar la cocina, la cual está dotada de todos los implementos necesarios. Tienen una perra divina, se llama Shemsa y es muy amigable. Definitivamente recomendaría este hospedaje a todos mis amigos.

Excelente localização, dá para ir tranquilamente até a cidade amuralhada a pé. Lugar tranquilo, nos sentimos muito seguros. No coração de Getsemani, muitos restaurantes, bares, etc em volta. Gilberto nos recebeu muito bem.

Gilberto es un excelente anfitrión y muy amable..te ayuda con opciones turísticas en la (URL HIDDEN) ubicación del apartamento es muy central es seguro y puedes estar cerca de la histórica Cartagena...volvería a ir por supuesto...

Lugar sencillo y agradable, con bueno ubicación , muy pintoresca

Really nice stay in Gilberto's place. Great host, very flexible and accommodating. The place was spotless and as shown in the pictures. Good location away from the noise but close enough to be able to enjoy the city. I'd recommend a stay here!

Gilberto was great since before I got into the apartement. Great communication. Amazing host.

Gilberto, Made sure our Check in process so easy. The apartment was clean and neat. I felt at home

L'appartement est idéalement situé en vieille ville, idéal pour sortir le soir dans un quartier animé. Il ne donne cependant pas sur la rue donc très calme. Excellent rapport qualité prix, je recommande !

Anfitrião atencioso. Deu boas dicas de passeio. Apartamento muito bem localizado. Da para fazer todos os passeios a pé.

L'appartement d'Oscar et de Daniela est très bien situé dans le vieux quartier. Les restaurants abondent et il y a beaucoup de vie sur la place centrale. Ils sont des hôtes très aimables et sympas. Ils ont été compréhensifs et patients malgré notre retard. L'appartement est propre et la chambre confortable. Je vous recommande ce lieu; une bonne base d' où visiter Cartagena.

Muito bom o local e a cidade. Da para conhecer tudo a pé da residência do Oscar

Very gentle hosts.

Oscar es sin duda uno de los mejores host que tuvimos. El apartamento esta ubicado en el corazón de uno de los barrios históricos mas importantes de Cartagena. Todo impecable. 100% recomendable

Gute lage in getsemani gleich beim place trinidad.. sehr freundlicher vermieter..

Excelente ubicación, muy buena onda Óscar, nos hizo sentirnos como en casa y todo estuvo excelente! Lo recomendamos 100%

Oscar cuenta con un lugar espectacular para pasar los días en Cartagena, atento de tus dudas sobre la cuidas y tus necesidades como persona. Recomendable.

Oscar and Daniela awaited us very friendly and gave us some really nice Information about Cartagena. They are very helpful! The apartmant was ok with a nice terrace, the bathroom was ok. Thanks for the stay and hope to see you again!

Great small guest house, really close walking distance to everything in old town. We loved being able to wander to 2min to Plaza Trinidad at night to see the street performers, or 5min inside the fort city area. The room had really good aircon and a fan, ensuite was adequate and cleaned daily with fresh towels. There is a little street noise at night but it didn't bother us at all. Diana was lovely to talk too, super fast at communicating and provided great directions for check in. Would recommend excellent value

Excelente lugar a 5 minutos del centro histórico caminando, lugar muy limpio y bonito y Diana es una excelente anfitriona, nos dio mucha información y tips a nuestra llegada (: recomiendo muchísimo este lugar (:

Zeer gastvrije en warme ontvangst. Heerlijke plek in een fantastische buurt en ook nog een geweldig zwembad. Sophie kan ook nog naar andere adressen verwijzen in geval van nood. Vrienden!

We hadden uitstekend emailcontact met Sophie voordat we arriveerden. Bij aankomst was ze aanwezig om ons met het huis vertrouwd te maken. Het bleek dat zij niet zelf in het huis woonde, maar dat zij als een soort zaakwaarnemer voor de eigenaars functioneert. Zij woont tegenover het huis. Het is een mooi huis met goede faciliteiten. De ligging is centraal. We voelden ons welkom. Zowel Sophie als de eigenaars, Diobeth en Elizabeth waren uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het enige wat in ons geval niet prettig was, is de lokatie van de WC/ badkamer. Deze ligt 1 verdieping lager dan de slaapkamer en is alleen bereikbaar langs een smalle, steile buitentrap. Onprettig voor ouderen. Tevens zou een parasol op het terras van pas komen in dit klimaat. Verder een aanrader!

Sophie was incredibly helpful with advice and making arrangements. The couple who live there, Elizabeth and Diobeth were very sweet and interesting hosts with a very interesting film school in the building and lots of information about Cartagena. (Definitely listen to their restaurant suggestions!) The room and whole house is very charming - quiet with a nice balcony to sit on and the pool was great and refreshing. There was air conditioning and it was very comfortable. This is also a great neighborhood to stay in, lots of character and down the street from a beautiful old church where kids played football (soccer) every evening. A great place to sit in the evening, meet people and watch the world go by. The place is also an easy walk to the center of town and in a safe neighborhood. I really enjoyed my stay here and would highly recommend it. A slice of real Cartagena with lively hosts in a lovely setting.

Lovely place, perfect location and Sophie is gave us great recommendations.

Sophie es muy agradable y amable y los dueños de la propiedad también, te hacen una plática (solo hablan español),y son gente muy linda.

A wonderful location to stay - Getsemani is full of vibrant cafes, bars and restaurants and is a nice complement to the old city. This house is stunning and it was fantastic to have the use of the swimming pool to cool down from the Cartagena heat! The only downside to staying here was that the room itself was unbearably hot. Whilst the room has a fan together with air conditioning (which was both noisy and ineffectual) these made little difference, which is a shame as otherwise this house and location is great and the owners were very accommodating.

l endroit est magnifique, situé dans une ecole de cinema, la chambre est tres belle et avec une petite terrasse privé qui donne une vue sur les toits du quartier.nous avons eu un gros coup de coeur pour ce logement,qui en plus est placé a coté de la place de la trinitade qui s anime tout les soirs.un régale!nous avons été tres bien accueilli, sophie nous a beaucoup renseigné sur carthagene et nous a aidé à nous organiser pour rendre le sejour au top!!Au passage sophie, on a testé encore d autre cebicheria mais on pas trouvé encore mieux que ton adresse que tu nous avais co seillé;)

Sophie es muy amable y cordial. Es lo que ofrecen. Las camas son cómodas y el espacio limpio. Quienes habitan la casa: Obed y Elizabeth son amables y dispuestos a colaborar. Doña Elizabeth (Mamá de Elizabeth) es muy carismática, conversadora y amable.

La estadia excelente. Vero y Andres muy amables y atentos, ponen la casa a tu disposición. Muy buena ubicación en Getsemani, cerca de todo. Las habitaciones comodas, con aire y baño privado, todo impecable. La terraza con pileta increible, con vista al castillo. Gracias por todo ! Gracias también a Lida y a Cosmo por la buena onda !

My wife and I stayed with Veronica for three nights. The location is great (easily walkable to old town). The room and house were clean, secure, and very nice. Veronica is also great with communication and making guests feel welcome. Recommend stay!!

Veronica's lovely house is fantastically situated close to getsamani ( a very lively and creative part of town) and my favourite place to be in cartegena. The room felt fresh, spacious and clean. It was perfect after a long haul flight, and extremely peaceful. We found it hard to leave the room. Cosmo ( Veronica's dog) is fab too.

La ubicación es excelente y el espacio y exactamente como se describen en el anuncio. El barrio está bien cerca de la ciudad amurallada, restaurantes, bares y otros lugares de interés turístico de la ciudad. Los anfitriones son amables y siempre disponible para ayudar o dar consejos importantes Cosmo auxiliar y atento y siempre de buen humor. Recomendamos para quedarse! Felipe y Juliana

Veronica is a great host. Always available and willing to help. The place is in a lively and safe neighborhood and it offers a great starting point for walking around Cartagena. The pool on the roof is a great treat after a long day exploring the city center.

Veronica was a great hostess, accommodating our very late check in and offering use of the washing machine. The location was perfect, with a beautiful rooftop view of the fort and a cozy room with a/c to relax at night. We were just around the corner from Plaza de la Trinidad, which was our favorite evening hangout. Everything was as described, and we loved Cartagena so much, we hope to return!

Juli was very sweet, warm, and helpful. She communicated very well and helped us with a ton of suggestions on where we could go for everything. Her location was good (just a 15 minute walk to Old Town). Her place is pretty clean, it was just a little dusty in some parts of the room. We reserved a room with wifi and shared bathroom. Once we got there, she gave us the option to upgrade to the room she had with a private bathroom for no extra costs, however the wifi didn't work in that room (the signal was too far). The kitchen was a little sparse on cooking/eating utensils but she gave us plenty of space in the fridge to put our food.

Really nice welcome ! Really great people. But hard to sleep well in the room as it is super hot and fresh air does not come inside (no window)

Excusa a mi español, que estoy aprendiendo. La versión en inglés está por debajo de. ¡Lugar de Juli es fantástico! Es en una parte de la ciudad llamado Getsemani, que no está en la parte central de la ciudad, pero es 5-10 minutos a pie. Getsemani tiene una gran vida nocturna, restaurantes y bares fantásticos también. El alojamiento es perfecto si usted está buscando un privado comedor y cocina. Nada más y nada menos. Juli es una persona maravillosa y siempre estaba disponible para contestar cualquier pregunta que tenía. Hay 2 habitaciones dentro de un estudio de yoga que ofrece clases para las mujeres y los niños. Esto no impidió mi experiencia con Air B&B. Generalmente me quedo en el un Hostel cuando viajo, pero quería comprobar hacia fuera este aire B&B y estaba muy contento con los resultados! Juli's place is fantastic! It is in a part of town called Getsemani, which is not in the central part of the city, but a short 5-10 minute walk. Getsemani has a great nightlife and fantastic bars and restaurants too. The accommodation is perfect if you are looking for a private room and kitchen. Nothing more and nothing less. Juli is a wonderful person and was always available to answer any questions that I had. There are 2 rooms within a yoga studio which offers classes to the local women and children. This did not hinder my experience with Air B&B. Usually I stay at hostel when I travel, but I wanted to check out this Air B&B and I was very pleased with the results!

Great location. Juli was great and offered us great advice about bars and restaurants in the are. Good value for money. Would stay again!

We stayed 4 nights in the house of Juli. The first surprise was that the only window of our room was to the Yoga room where they held yoga classes and women circles. So we didn't have so much privacy, in addition my boyfriend felt quite uncomfortable in the room next to the women circle where women cried during some kind of group therapy session. So he didn't want to leave the room to pass through the circle to get out to the street neither stay there. Would have been nice to know that at least. We know that Juli had quite a lot to do that weekend for the festival but still, nothing in the description talks about that. Also it was quite muggy air in the room and we had to turn on a lot the fans to get some kind of fresh air. On the other hand, the location was very nice and the flat quite clean. Also the two women were very nice and helpful. But for these circumstances, the price was too high in our opinion.

Juli is super cool and so is Karen! They are so nice and fun to talk to. The space is really cozy and cute, too. The people I met there were awesome and I loved that they are very open people who appreciate good authentic yoga! Loved the classes!

Isabel was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about Cartagena, and offered us several ideas about things to do. Her house was very clean and she welcomed us fully, making us feel at home. Her house is located in a beautiful neighborhood surround by historic residences of the local architectural style, and downtown Getsemani and Old Town are within walking distance. We definitely recommend staying with Isabel for a trip to Cartagena!

De verdad nos sentimos muy cómodos, el mejor servicio, un lugar súper tranquilo y cerca de todo lo que buscábamos. De verdad es recomendable en todo aspecto. Mil gracias por la estancia, nos sentimos felices :)

Foi uma breve mas confortavel estadia. Otima localização. Recomendo.

We had only a short stay. The room was clean and simple, Isabel was nice in the brief time we met her. There is a sweet house cat. The walk to Getsemani and the old city is about 15 min, not bad. The street can get a little noisy, ear plugs are highly recommended.

Isabel was a very nice host. Her place was very clean and the a/c was very nice. it was as described.

Todo fue perfecto, buena ubicación, buena habitación, limpia, la zona muy segura, e Isabel muy atenta a todo

Isabel nos hospedo con mucho carino. Nos guio mucho en la ciudad y siempre estuvo atenta a lo que necesitaramos. El hospedaje es un lugar limpio y comodo para descansar. Lo recomiendo para quienes deseen hospedarse alli.

The listing perfectly fit the room! The air conditioning was much needed, especially in the middle of the day! And the host left maps and other great information, along with offering personal tips, which were a great help. The location was perfect for walking over to the old city or up to the fort!

Der Aufenthalt in Samuel's apartment war sehr angenehm. Das apartment ist sauber und hat alles was man benötigt. Samuel und seine Mutter waren jederzeit bereit mir mit allem möglichen zu helfen. Beim nächsten Aufenthalt in Cartagena werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder bei Samuel unterkommen.

v nice and helpful person n family

Samuel was very accommodating. Even though he was not present at the residence during my trip, he was available by phone in case I needed anything. His place is fantastic - very artistic and unique! It was above and beyond my expectations. The neighborhood of Getsemani is somewhere I highly recommend checking out.

Samuels Airbnb is in a great location right in the heart of Getsemani with lots of restaurants, bars and sights nearby (at night it can get a bit noisy outside, but some people like my husband sleep right through it). Despite this popular location it still feels like a 'real' neighbourhood where people also actually live, as opposed to the walled city which is today mainly an assortment of shops, travel agencies and hotels for tourists. During our stay Samuel was away, but his Mum made us feel very welcome and even made us delicious Colombian coffee in the mornings. We enjoyed quite a few chats with her, including about the history of the place and its' own (formerly) secret tunnel. The future of the house is also interesting as it is in the process of being turned into an art gallery and there are already a number of creative displays to enjoy. This is a special Airbnb and at a great price for Cartagena, we definitely recommend it!

A place full of character with an ideal location. A real local feel in contrast to the more touristy spots 10 minutes walk away. Ask to see the old (huge) escape tunnel in the courtyard. The local square is amazingly full of life the whole day. Little boys playing football in the afternoon and food, music and dance at night.

If coming back to Cartagena, for sure staying there again! Nice Spot!

the house is located in the heart of the city so everything is within easy reach. Samuel was very kind and responsive. during my stay his mum was in Cartagena. she helped me arranging many things, including a .... dental appointment. lovely people. i would recommend this place to anyone. a great choice

Si te gusta un lugar especial para alojarse en un ambiente animado: no busques más!

Un lugar muy céntrico, con muy buenos restaurantes a menos de 100 metros de distancia. A menos de 1 km de la Ciudad Amurallada (Increíblemente linda durante las noches). Las personas es general son muy amables y es muy segura toda la Ciudad, además de mucha fiesta por las noches!!!

Our hosts were very accommodating and helpful in helping us get settled in Cartagena. The apartment was a wonderful place to come home to at the end of the day (clean, A.C., big). We loved it! Thank you :)

Her boyfriend waited for us, he was nice, willing to give us tips always. House has space and room is quiet for the area of Getsemani. Airco was veeeery helpful in such a hot days. Very close to centre and nice to walk around Getsemani.

Alles wie versprochen: eine schöne und saubere Unterkunft. Checkin und out waren total problemlos, und die Lage ist sowieso großartig. Komme gerne mal wieder!

Daniela's place is located right near the centre. Our host was very helpful.

If you are looking a place to stay in Cartagena close to a lot of thing this is what are you looking for! :D espectacular todo! Oscar y Daniela un amor ambos! Muy preocupados, tienen recomendaciones muy buenas, tours, restaurantes, bares, clubs etc etc y al llegar se encargan de que quedes muy ubicado en el área... la habitación muy cómoda, tal cual se muestra en las fotos y lo mejor es que tiene aire acondicionado! Si te vas a quedar varios Días seguro lo necesitarás! Limpio, amplio y buenísimo para corto y largo plazo de estancia!! Seguro volvemos! Abrazos a ambos y nos vemos pronto! :D

Oscar e Dani são muito simpáticos e me ajudaram a escolher bons passeios, mais tranquilos. Oscar sempre me respondeu na mesma hora. Recomendo!

We have agreat time, the apartament was verry good in aperfect location..

Hi John, I'm so happy to have finally made it to Cartagena and choosing your place. The apt. was very clean and cozy with all modern applicances and comforts. The location was perfect for me with a short walk to the center just over the bridge. The grocery store was also at walking distance which allowed me to do a lot of my healthy meals at home. The only thing I didn't have was a can opener but the neighbor was nice enough to open it for me. The pool on the roof was spectacular with amazing views. Your selection of reading material was also very nice. I will definitely go back and stay there again and will recommend to friends and family. My next visit to Colombia will be Medellin if you have any suggestions. In gratitude, Jackie

El apartamento de John fue la mejor decisión que pudimos tomar. Muy accesible a todo, caminando se encuentra a 10-15 minutos del centro histórico y de los monumentos históricos. Se encuentra realmente central. A todos lados se puede llegar caminando en poco tiempo. Al lado hay un supermercado y una farmacia que tienen todo lo necesario, que son 24 horas. Cercano también se encuentran dos centros comerciales. El apartamento tal cual aparece en las fotografías con vista a la cuidad amurallada y la terraza donde se encuentra la piscina con una vista realmente espectacular de todo. Una experiencia muy satisfactoria y completa. Muchas gracias a John, disponible para responder nuestras consultas siempre y ayudarnos a tener una muy buena estadía aquí en Cartagena.

El apartamento es más amplio de lo que parece en las fotos. Es muy bonito, está perfectamente equipado con electrodomésticos renovados. Además la casa estaba impecable. En cuanto a la ubicación, aunque no estaba dentro de la ciudad amurallada está al lado de Getsemani y además es una zona segura en donde hay droguerías y supermercados. Las zonas comunes también son excelentes, en la azotea hay una piscina y un jacuzzi en la que estuvimos solos siempre que fuimos. También hay un gimnasio pequeño pero bien equipado. El trato con Jon fue exquisito, se mostró muy flexible con el check in lo cual fue de gran ayuda, además resolvió todas nuestras dudas rápidamente.

John was super helpful. He was very proactive in ensuring we were comfortable and even offered to print our boarding passes when I realized I needed to do that. The apartment is beautiful and a short walk away from the walled city, a grocery store, and a drugstore. Very safe building, everything was clean, and an awesome pool/workout room.

This unit was immaculate and John was amazing! Incredibly accommodating to our every need, super flexible with us and just overall very helpful. The unit was great, loved the central air and the rooftop pool and views literally cannot be beat! Just a few minutes walk to lively old town Cartegena and steps away from the old fort! Waterfront views, modern amenities, and beautiful furnishings separate it from everything else. This was by far my favorite place to stay throughout my entire trip to Colombia.

John is a great host. Everything was perfect and has expected. The communication was perfect. The appartment is great, great location, not to far from the old town. The view from the pool and the appartment is amaizing. It is a perfect vacation place, I recommand it.

We only had one night's stay at John's apartment but wished we could have stayed longer. Manga neighbourhood is just a few steps from Getsemani and the Old Town. The apartment is situated with a great view of Bocagrande, the ports, as well as the Old Town. The roof top patio/pool is gorgeous. 360views. Could have spent a long time there. The apartment is just as described, and it's a treat that he has a water filter that saves the effort of purchasing. John himself was very kind and accommodating, even as we checked in early as we overestimated how long it would take to arrive from the airport. He was easy to contact on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) when we had questions and was very friendly when we met in person. My partner and I highly recommend this lovely apartment!!

John's apartment was perfecto! We were hesitant to stay away from the old town area but after having stayed in Johns place; we are more assured that we made the right decision. From a security standpoint, there is a 24hr doorman whom only allows residents in, and a lock box in the apartment for valuables. The city is quite lively at night and being a short 3-5 min walk away was much appreciated for the privacy, views, and quiet nature of apartment. A $2.00 USD cab ride will get you just about anywhere in the instances you are too lazy to walk or the weather doesnt allow. The air conditioning and hot water was more than sufficient. The beautiful rooftop pool, view, and balcony was the icing on the cake.

Nous avons été très bien acceuillies par Ofelia qui nous a donné de bons conseils pour découvrir la ville.

Es una zona muy cerca de la zona amurallada, permite disfrutar de la belleza de cartagena

Everything was ok.

La casa de Ofelia es muy bonita con un amplio patio para pasar ratos agradables. Ofelia y su hija encantadoras y desde el principio nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Ofelia nos ha ayudado mucho a la llegada, para movernos por Cartagena y para continuar nuestro viaje por Colombia. La ubicación de la casa perfecta. Muy recomendable.

We booked this room based on the description given on the Airbnb sight and the pictures. The address on the site was not accurate/confusing and we spent over an hour with taxi drivers trying to find it, even when they were talking to the host on the phone...she was not available for check-in between 3-5, as arranged and therefore we had to take all our luggage into a restaurant and wait another hour. Once we arrived, the room we booked was apparently unavailable due to an air-conditioning issue (or so we gathered through our limited Spanish), so we were put in a kids rooms with two beds pushed together, a closet full of clothes and belongings, no T.V. as advertised, no lock on the door, a useless window box AC unit, which someone entered our room to turn off when we were out, leaving us with a sweat box upon return, no court yard furnishings, apparently no outside food allowed in the room, which was a surprise given that the kitchen was off limits. We were really excited about the opportunity to stay here and meet the family, but this was not at all what we booked based on what was advertised on Airbnb.

Ofelia was nice and the place was fine as long as you expect to be sharing a small 2 bedroom and 1 bath place that has no real common area other than the kitchen. Communication was good and check-in and out was easy. Only reason for a 3 is that I was able to get an entire apartment for the same price as this room.

We stayed four nights in the casa of Ofelia and it was a nice stay. The room is clean, the bed soft and the location good and near to the center (walk 10min). Restaurants are way closer and all around in the area. Ofelia speaks basic English which may be difficult for people who don't speak any Spanish. Here daughter speaks really good English though so if she's around she can help translate! Ofelia replied really quick to all messages send, which was a big plus!

Ofelia and her family were very helpful and welcoming! Always great to say with such kind and helpful people.

Nayma and Mario were wonderful hosts. Very friendly and super helpful in telling us where to go and what to do around Cartagena. The place is in a residential neighborhood very close to the walled city. You have restaurants and shops within a 10 min (or less) walking distance. If you are not looking for a luxury stay and can sleep through street/neighborhood noise I would def. recommend Nayma's place.

The place is right in the heart of Getsemaní and within a few steps from incredible restaurants and a lively plaza. With that said, the noise level during the evening hours can be a little taxing. This however is rather unavoidable in this neighborhood and really out outside of the control of any host. The place is exciting with art and murals decorating many walls and music filling the air at all times. It's never a dull moment in Getsemaní and noise along with beauty is part of its personality. I would easily book again!

Our host immediately reached out to us and was very helpful and informative. Getsemani is an adorable family neighborhood full of great local restaurants, bars, and hostels. Make sure to stop by the Plaza de la Trinidad in the evening. Nearby El Bar Del Sur has amazing arepas and is currently the only local craft brewery!

Nayma's place is great! Location among locals and around the corner there are many restaurants/bars etc. And Nayma goes next level in hosting people! My girlfriend needed to see a doctor and she arranged that in 1,5h and came along to translate. So thankful for that!

I loved my stay in Gtsenami. The place was big with two bathrooms and air con that can quickly get things cooled down. Street is a little loud to late hours of the night, but that should be expected its called "Rumba" and the bedroom is far enough from the window where you can actually get good sleep. You'll probably be the only foreigner on the block but everyone is nice so no worries. Walking distance from lots of cool art work, and from the center where locals gather every night and share each others time with great street food. She made everything easy by letting me know all the hip spots and helping with taxi and excursion issues. Overall great experience if you want to immerse yourself in a beautiful and safe cultural area.

Nayma's place is about as close to perfect as one can get. It's cozy with a nice bed and kitchen for when you want cook for yourself. The AC is also key in Cartagena. The best thing about it is the location. It's truly in the middle of an authentic Cartagenan neighborhood. There are several hostels and boutique hotels in the surrounding area, but on your street when you stay there, you'll be the only foreigner(s). The people are fairly welcoming and the street very lively. There's also a great square nearby where many locals and internationals gather nightly to socialize, play music, eat, and share drinks. You'll find the Centro area of Cartagena is very touristy and Nayma's place was a nice refuge from this.

Nayma's apartment is conviently located minutes away from one of the most historic plazas in cartagena, plaza Trinidad. If you want an authentic experience this is the place to stay. You will be in the middle of a residential street where you will instantly feel part of the Colombian culture. The apartment itself is very spacious! It is kept very clean. There is AC which is much needed during the night. Communication with Nayma was seamless. She was there for us at check in and was willing to answer any questions we had even at odd hours of the night. I hope to stay here next time I visit this wonderful city! Thank you Nayma!!!

Very well located, organised apartment and host. Had a great time in Cartagena, and Getsemani is a really cool spot. Very noisy street, bring earplugs!
