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.

The apartment is lovely! There is a bit of wear and tear, as previous reviews have stated. The apartment for the most part did appear as the pictures are shown online (minus those wear and tear issues - kitchen cabinets need some adjusting, door handles need tightening). The balcony and the views are gorgeous, however, we did not have the umbrella or dining set outside as pictured. It was very clean. All bathrooms were spotless. Our housekeeper, Valary, was fantastic! She came each morning and prepared a traditional Colombian breakfast for us. Upon check in she asked what we liked and we gave her the money and she did all of the shopping, returning the next morning with what she needed to cook for us. She came each day to clean which is also nice for a vacation rental. Again, as previous reviews state Valary speaks no English so google translate became our best friend. The location is fantastic! The music is LOUD, which is clearly stated in other reviews, as well as the description provided by the host, Herve. If this is a problem for some, use the ear plugs provided! They work like a charm, and it is worth the minor irritation to stay here for the central location and views. I also have to agree with another review warning about the number of steps up to the unit. This was not a problem for us, but may be for some with some mobility issues or those not in great shape. Those views for us were worth every one of those 57 steps to the apartment! The AC worked great! We never had a problem with AC, nor a problem with hot water. *Also of note during these time of Covid, there is a lab located on the second floor in case you need testing prior to returning to your country. You don’t even have to leave the building for testing. This makes it SO convenient. (Again, thank you to our housekeeper for pointing this out to us). The host is fantastic and very responsive! I would DEFINITELY recommend this rental for anyone wanting to stay in a perfect location in Cartagena!

Amazing roof top in the heart of Cartagena‘s bustling historical centre. You can look down onto terraces of several bars that play music until 2AM. Stylish living area and nice master bedroom on the top floor. However, the quality of the other rooms is quite poor as very small and no real window in one of them.

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.

The beds listed are not accurate. Bedroom three is not a king with 2 singles but rather a queen with 1 single. This bedroom is also missing a window in the bathroom making the property unsafe and unsecure for guests. Several flights of stairs and the master bedroom is on the roof. Very difficult to get luggage into the property. Now getting to the noise. Please don’t be fooled by the reviews stating the noise wasn’t a problem. The bars open around 5PM and close around 5AM. And this was on a Wednesday. When the music started it was 80 decibels inside the property. The roof top terrace was worse. It was so loud that the rooms vibrated from the sound and it was impossible to speak to someone sitting next to you. The property owner and manager are fully aware of the extremely loud roof top bars surrounding the property and that his guests will have trouble sleeping because of it. The property manager joked as she walked out saying “I hope you can sleep with the noise from the bars”. When I tried to contact the owner to discuss he didn’t respond. I left as no one from our group could sleep. He responded several days later and did not refund our money. This is a scam. He will keep your money if you leave and VRBO will not be of any assistance if you book here. Don’t believe the reviews that the sound is okay, they are false…don’t stay here.
