The building is indeed centrally location in the walled city. The service is excellent: Clara, the administrator, was there late at night to receive us and hand the keys, and Indira, the maid, pleased our requests and even went to the market to get groceries for breakfasts. Considering that it takes 57 steep steps to get to the apartment in the third floor, Clara had someone to help us bring the suitcases up and down. However, its priviledged location becomes its only weakness: the noise. We were there for New Year's Eve, which is by definition noisy. It is surrounded by rooftop lounges. The windows in the apartment provide no noise reduction. The only way we could sleep was with ear plugs. Additionally, while the apartment description states it sleeps 8, in the larger room there was a queen bed and an additonial twin bunk bed. We managed to accomodate the younger members of the family in the available beds, nonetheless. I strongly recommend this place to young groups who want to visit Cartagena to party.

My favorite location in Cartagena
We loved the location! Everyone was very attentive and made sure our stay was pleasurable. I will look for this location anytime I go back to Cartagena. The cleaning lady was the BEST! I can’t thank this team enough!

Great stay
We had a great stay, huge property, wonderful location. Only two things are that you are so close to the action that the local club music can be loud all night and lastly there was almoat no hot water (its 90 outside so we didnt mind it). I will definitely stay here again.

Loved it!
This property was perfect for my group (25-30 year olds). Stairs weren't an issue, the noise wasn't an issue, but both could be for some people. Communication was perfectly fine even with the language barrier. There was more than enough hot water in the home. Cleaning lady was amazing, she even folded everyone's clothes. Overall I would recommend this place if you are trying to stay in Centro and dont care about the noise.

Beautiful apartment, prime location
The apartment is beautiful and the location is right in the middle of Cartagena. The noise from the neighbors though is pretty extreme. There are three outdoor bars next door, music is very loud and doesn’t stop until late at night. Don’t expect to use the beautiful roof terrace after 9pm, it’s impossible to talk. Inside is a little better, but not much. Earplugs are provided and you won’t be able to sleep without them. This would be a five star apartment anywhere else, but the extremely loud music make it difficult to enjoy the place…

Very Loud at night!
The property is very nice, very clean and good service from the housekeeper. The only problem is that is about 20 feet from the hottest night club in Cartagena. The loud music from the rooftop bar goes until 2:30 in the morning. We were 6 adults, 4 of us in our 60s. To say the least, we wanted a good nights sleep after enjoying the sights, and especially the food, of Cartagena. This would be a perfect spot if you are into partying. Nevertheless, the location is outstanding!

Apt was beautiful & attendants were priceless!
The apartment was great and the rooftop was WOW! My husband and I stayed there with our 4 year old and the location was perfect because it was right in the center of town so it was super convenient. We visited Colombia to attend a wedding and it turns out that the church was literally around the corner and 2 blocks from us and the wedding reception was directly across the street from us. It was a very happy and convenient coincidence. All other comments in the reviews were accurate. It is in the center of everything so it is very loud. The clubs out there act like they’re all competing on who can have the loudest music and they blast their music until 1 or 3 am in the morning depending on if it’s a weekday or weekend. There are no noise restrictions in Colombia apparently so the nights there are VERY LOUD. Thankfully, the owner provided ear plugs. You WILL need them so that was a nice touch. There is also no elevator, but it’s only 3 flights of stairs so if you don’t have health issues and not a lot of luggage, you should be fine. We only had our carry-ons and handbags. The biggest reason for my 5-star review aside from the prime location, and pretty apt is the staff. What a great staff! The lady comes by every day to clean and she makes breakfast for you if you want. It’s included in the price of your stay so all you have to pay for is the groceries, plus she shows you the receipt to show how much was spent. They really went out of their way to make us feel at home. One of the gentlemen that works in the building even walked me to the ATM so that I wouldn’t walk alone and get lost. Another staff member showed us how to use the tv remote. They suggested places to visit. They were just the greatest group of people and i am so thankful they were there!
