Highly recommend this property. Beautifully furnished and right in the centre of old town but amazing quiet facing the back. We loved the terrace and the pool was perfect to cool off.

Jaime's apartment was the perfect base for our explorations of Cartagena. Check-in was via the building's door man, Carlos. The bedrooms are air conditions, which was a welcome relief each night from the heat of Cartagena. Amenities in the building were also excellent. Would stay again!

Jaime's apartment is beautiful, and the real gem of this place is the rooftop. It has one of the best views in all of Cartagena. Staying at Jaime's apartment was a great experience. The only problem for us was that the Wifi never worked. Other than that, we had a great stay and loved the apartment.

This apartment is in a great location in old town Cartagena. It is right on the plaza bolivar, but is very quiet. We are a couple with two teenagers and they loved having their own room and using the pool. Would highly recommend this apartment

From my first contact with questions for the owner all the way through our correspondence while staying in his apartment, Jaime was responsive & helpful. This apartment is beautiful! The building is in a great location. There’s a 24 hour mini mart nearby with everything you might need, though other grocers have more selection & better prices. Since most of the apartments in the building are inhabited by locals, it’s easy to feel like you’re part of the local neighborhood very quickly. The 3 people at the front desk who rotate as doormen (door-woman) are very sweet and helpful, as is Aydee who comes to tidy up 6 days/week. Plaza Bolivar is close to everything, but feels a little more tranquil than other locations. It’s really the best of everything. There are enough vendors to keep you supplied with fruit, coffee & snacks, in addition to some good restaurants nearby. But most of the people hanging out in the plaza are local, so it feels less touristy. Skip the coffee next door at Juan Valdez & support one of the men selling equally delicious coffee in the plaza. It’s peaceful, but just on the other side of the Plaza are the Cathedral, many vendors & a quick walk to everything – including the clock tower plaza, one of the main gateways into the walled city. My companion was perfectly comfortable with A/C only in the bedrooms, but for me, it was hot in the main area. This would be my only complaint – however, the apartment’s open air floor plan is what really makes it special and I can’t imagine ever having the terrace doors closed (I’m not sure there are doors, now that I think about it!). Whether sitting in the main room or actually out on the terrace, the view & feel of the apartment are stunning! I just left and already want to return to Cartagena …. and cannot imagine staying anywhere else. This apartment is wonderful!

The apartment is spacious and easy to live in. We spent most of our time here enjoying the terrace and the view from it. The pictures tell the story. The pool is lovely, and a welcome place to cool off after walking the busy streets of Cartagena. Grocery stores are nearby. However, there is no end to good restaurants! You are in the middle of everything here. Don’t expect peace and quiet.

The location of this beautiful apartment is perfect for exploring Cartagena. We walked all over the city and never had a problem. The balcony has a beautiful view of flowers and an old church. We never got tired of looking out as we sat there every evening. The apartment was perfect for two couples. The owner was easy to communicate throughout. There is a lady that can come everyday to clean up and do laundry except for Sunday and holidays.

I can not recommend this apartment strongly enough! We spent every sunset and sunrise up on the roof. It is one of highest points in the city with a 360degree view. Inside it feels like home but with so much art and character. Steps out the door and you are in the best museums and restaurants. Thank you Jaimie for your extensive collection of history books on the city and the 11 pages of prepatory advice and recommendations. A truly class act with age, art, and character! Do not miss eating at Mila or Olano!!!

Great location, lovely apartment, super friendly and kind owner, doormen and woman, and cleaning lady. We couldn’t have been happier and highly recommend this wonderful apartment to anyone who wants to really experience this beautiful city.

The apartment is beautiful and tasteful. There is a cleaning person and apartment caretaker who is wonderful and sweet and requires only a reasonable tip. The apartment is well situated and has everything u could need. Unfortunately the beds are very hard and uncomfortable and there is a smell of mildew in the apartment...

This property is ideal for a stay in the ancient city. From 10:00 p.m. it is quiet with only the beautiful view of San Pedro to enjoy if you care to take in the evening breeze on the private balcony. We enjoyed having our own bedroom and bath, bedrooms are air conditioned, plenty of warm water new soap, lots of towels in the linen along with beach towels and more bedding. DO bring your own wash clothes. The kitchen is well supplied, dishes, glass ware and flat ware. Lots of books on Cartagena. The location is very good, right in the middle of all the local action. Wonderful food everywhere. the woman who comes in daily is very sweet and willing to be of help. A great coffee shop right next door. We will hopefully return and stay in this apartment.

Staying at Jaime's apartment was magical--you are living outdoors, with the beautiful balcony and all the windows. Though it was hot and humid in Cartagena, we never used the air conditioning. The temperatures cooled at night and there was always a breeze. The apartment has tile floors throughout and ceiling fans in every room to move the air. The apartment is located on Plaza Bolivar, the prettiest plaza in the city. Each morning, I got a cup of coffee and sat in the plaza and watched the city come to life. At night, the plaza bursts into activity with music and dancing. The apartment itself is a perfect location in the building, with the balcony facing the side of the building away from the noise of the plaza. Both bedrooms were very pretty and each had its own full bath with a large shower. The building has a doorperson 24 hours a day and is totally safe. Don't miss watching the sunset from the rooftop of the building. In one direction you see the steeple of the cathedral. In the other direction, you see the surreal spectacle of the high rises of Bocagrande. The sun sets over the Caribbean and the skies turn dusty pink as the lights of the city come up. You may feel you're living in a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel.

This apartment makes a good home base for a trip in Cartagena. The location couldn’t get any better. The owner is very responsive. There is a cleaning service while there and a 24x7 security guard/doorman so it feels very safe. The main living area and kitchen can definitely be warm but the bedrooms are air conditioned so they are cool for sleeping. The apartment doesn’t have a luxurious feel inside but it includes most everything you’d need. The hammock on the balcony was very relaxing. The rooms were quite enough, although the birds can be loud in the morning. The internet is slow but worked well enough for emailing and web surfing. The showers worked well. We had a family of 2 adults and 2 children. We used the swimming pool as well. Overall I would definitely recommend this place.

I have visited Cartagena many times, always wanting to come back to enjoy the magic of this special city. This visit is one of my favorite thanks to our stay at this charming apartment, located right in the middle of the walled city. The place is very nicely appointed with interesting art and everything you need for a lovely stay. Both rooms are comfortable with air conditioning and en suite bathrooms. You will find lots of reference books on the history and architecture of this amazing city. Aydé, the housekeeper, is very, very kind; it is a real treat to find everything clean and organized when you come back from exploring the city. There is a small pool in the ground floor, perfect for relaxing after a warm day. But my favorite place must have been the lanai with its hammock and lovely view of the San Pedro Claver Church (do not miss visiting this church's courtyard, pure magic). The apartment is also located near the small but beautiful Museo del Oro, the Palacio de la Inquisición and plenty of delicious restaurants, cafés and bars. The owners have put together a very useful list of recommendations. I would love to come back to this charming place! TW

Recommend stay. Air conditioning in both bedrooms not living area. Can get hot. Otherwise a beautiful apartment in walking distance to everything in the walled city

This place has lots of character and great art, as you would hope to find in the old town. The location is great, walking distance to almost everything. The concierge were a great help and very friendly. The pool was a refreshing dip on hot afternoon, and the patio was perfect for sipping wine and enjoying the evening. Jaime was prompt answering our emails and was very helpful. All in all, I would definitely stay here again.
