Everything about this property and the amenities were amazing. The housekeeper and cook Iraida was an amazing host and her cooking and kind personality made us feel like we were with my family. Be aware that the cooking and cleaning services are included in your price. But IN ADDITION to the services that are included, you will need to pay for the food that Iraida prepares. She does provide receipts so you can see what you're paying for. It was well worth it to me. Iraida also did an amazing job keeping the space spotless, and smelling fresh and clean. She was definitely a highlight of the trip. I found myself missing her cooking once we were gone :-). The location couldn't be better as it is a 10 minute drive from the airport and 10 - 15 min from the Walled City, restaurants, bars, and the pick up locations for the amazing excursions we did. Christian did a great job communicating with me as well. The property itself felt and was extremely safe, and being so close to the beach made for a great time. The grounds were amazingly kept, the pool was cleaned at a minimum daily, and the staff was friendly and accomodating. The only complaint I had was that the wifi didn't work the entire time we were there (7-Days), so that caused a bit of disruption with communication and made my phone bill higher once I was home. But everything else was amazing. I would highly recommend this space and when I return to Cartagena, I will be staying there again.

Beautiful, modern apartment overlooking the beach in a very nice neighborhood. Can’t say enough about Iris like others have said. She’s warm, helpful and an awesome cook. Just know that she’s in the apartment all day but totally stays out of your way. We loved having her with us as she really added to the vacation. The balcony is great, the beds comfy and very clean. Host was very responsive. Can’t go wrong, we absolutely loved staying here and want to stay again which says a lot.

If the condo is available for your dates. Just go ahead and book! We had a wonderful trip to Cartagena and the place was perfect. Plenty of space with 3 bedrooms. Everything is very clean and the pool at the condo is great. Iraida is the housekeeper and she is the very best part of renting the condo. She is incredibly sweet and her cooking is truly amazing! The meals we had had at the condo were some of the best of the trip. She even made hand cut fries for our picky kids. She is lovely and takes care of so much that you really feel like you can relax and just be on vacation. The location is nice right on the water and beach. We took quick inexpensive Ubers into the old town, no problem. We would love to come back and we would love to stay here again! Christian the host was great with all his communication. Highly recommend this condo.

This listing is just as advertised but so much more. The apartment is spacious and clean with a wonderful balcony, hammock and shared pool area. We even for a couple of workouts in at the gym. The gym is dated but it did the job. We had a few questions and our host got right back to us and our housekeeper was so sweet and hardworking. We asked for her to cook breakfast and she prepared a great meal for us each morning and we would reimburse her for groceries. We also had her stock some water and beer for us before we arrived as well. There are several small markets you can walk to for provisions and ATM's at a couple of the local hotels (we used the one at the Radisson and one at the Sonesta when we needed estra Pesos). We rented a tent for 100-120K ($25-30US) for beach days and had access to vendors for jet skis and wind surfing which was a hit for our 4 boys (17-22). There are lots of vendors that hit you up but a quick "no gracias" and they moved on. Other tourists told us that the beach vendors were relentless but we felt very comfortable in the north zone. We felt very safe and had a couple of dinners at local restaurants but most evenings we cabbed into the city which was a terrific experience. Cabs/Ubers were about $10 each way and our meals were outstanding and inexpensive compared to Chicago. For a table of 6 with cocktails, wine and appetizers and entrees, we never exceeded $320. The boys loved shopping and haggling as every price is negotiable.

This property was exactly as described. It's a great spot if you want beach, sun and quiet. Our group included two kids, two adults and grandma with mobility issues. In terms of the apartment itself, it was great for everyone except grandma. Although the building has an elevator and ramps to walk around, there was no way grandma coud get in or out of the pool and the furniture was fairly basic and very low to the ground, so difficult for her to be comfortable. Regardless though, it was a great home base and very modern and a much better option than an older construct in the walled city. There are a limited number of restaurants within walking distance which also proved to be a challenge for our particular group. But for abled-bodied folks who can tolerate the heat better than us, there are lots of options within 15 minutes walk. Otherwise, it's a taxi into town. All-in-all we had a wonderful stay in this apartment.

We had such a great time at Christian’s condo. It was immaculate, the view was amazing, and the pool was such an added bonus. Christian answered all questions very promptly and is a wonderful host. Last but certainly not least, the housekeeper Iraida is THE BEST! She made us some of the best meals and fresh squeezed juices we had all trip and kept the place spotless. She made our trip even more amazing than we ever imagined. Highly recommend this rental and we would absolutely visit again if traveling to Cartagena!
