Christmas to New Year's Two Families of Four
The property looked just like the photos and the amenities described were accurate. The pool is described as indoors however it is in an open courtyard so it is in the open air. There is one bedroom on the ground floor & the rest of the bedrooms are accessed by outside spiral staircases, Alan, Raymundo, and Liliana were all so accommodating, helpful, & kind. Alan in particular answered so many of my questions before we arrived. Here are some things I wish I had known beforehand: The only air-conditioned rooms are the bedrooms. Everything else is open air around a courtyard. There are fans, however, when we were there it was very hot and so there was no place for all 8 of us to be together comfortably. We wanted to get out of the heat midday, but we couldn't do it without everyone going to their rooms. When it cooled off there were mosquitos. This is not a problem with the property AT ALL! The property was great, however, I wish I had known the setup because we traveled together to hang out together & couldn't. We all agreed the beds were hard. If that is comfortable is a matter of choice. The water in the showers took a long time to heat up & most of us just took cold showers, which in that heat didn't bother us. Having said all of that, our breakfast was prepared for us, our laundry was done, the rooms were cleaned daily, fresh towels, etc. & anything we needed or wanted was made available to us. We watched the sunset together on the roof & we did have a great stay.

Perfect Cartagena Vacation!
What a beautifully appointed, well situated spot for a Cartagena vacation! We can honestly say that our group of 8 (family and friends) were completely satisfied: the property and staff truly exceeded our expectations. Beyond the close proximity to all areas of the walled city, Alan and Reymundo were great hosts, attentive and courteous in every respect. Cannot recommend enough.

This was my first visit to Cartagena. If not for Al and the staff, I don’t think I would have fully experienced the city as well. The house was remarkable. I will definitely return soon.

Great visit to Cartegena
We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful house and were so well taken care of by the Alan, Raymundo and Iliana. They made everything so easy for us. Alan took us shopping to lay in the basics when we first arrived and then made us breakfast and coffee every morning; not easy with 6 adults over 50 with our own particular tastes and preferences (two vegans in the group). Alan aslo supported us in providing guidance on how to get around the town and even walked us to the harbor early one morning to take a boat to the islands. He helped arrange for the group to get in house massages, and made us dinner reservations at wonderful restaurants. Raymundo was there every night to greet us and make sure we got settled back in at the end of the long day. We felt safe and secure and in very good hands the whole time. Iliana kept our rooms and the space very clean every day, doing so in such a stealthy and unobtrusive way that it was all done before you even knew it! The location was fantastic; easily walkable to all points of interest and on a quieter street with just enough activity to be interesting, but not noisy. We had a terrific time and would would definitely come back to stay again.

Loved our stay here!
My son was getting married in Cartagena and we wanted a place for the family. This was the perfect place. There were 5 bedrooms each with their own bath. The courtyard has a small pool that kept my 6 yr old granddaughter happy, and plenty of room for the adults to visit. But the highlight of this vrbo was Alan, who was always ready for our every need. He helped us negotiate with the taxi drivers since we didn’t speak Spanish, order our food, pick up our food, and even walked us to an emerald jewelry store!! He made the place! As did Reymond, and the housekeeper!! Always smiling ready to help out! And the location was excellent and within walking distance to everything !

Amazing Stay in Cartagena Colombia
We booked this property for a group trip (7 adults, ages 25-30) celebrating a birthday. Not only is the property in a prime location of the old city close to the supermarket, street food vendors, shops and the mall. It’s a beautiful home with tons of space, a nice pool, rooftop with great view that felt super secure and comfortable. The highlight of our stay was definitely the amazing property manager Alan and Raymundo his assistant. They were friendly, cool and helped us book activities (boat ride and photographer), dinner reservations, gave directions and walked us there when it was close. They helped the cleaning staff with property upkeep and upon request got us breakfast, lunch and dinner from local places. Their presence was a huge difference in making the trip a success and made us feel like we were truly at home. We will definitely look to stay here again next time we’re in town. Thanks again! 10/10 would recommend.
