Great overall

Great location . Great accommodation. Would definitely stay again. Kitchen is un usable due to hot weather because it is open to the outside…but we are out every meal so it wasn’t an issue. If you don’t mind that this is definitely the place for you. The host could be better at communicating but everything worked out just fine. I would recommend

Short Stay

Leaks in multiple places in the ceilings. They used Varnish on the door before we arrived, and the smell was overwhelming. Had to check out and get a hotel. Property manager came over right away and helped us adjust the stay. Very nice people and sad it didn't work out.

Best VRBO in Cartagena

Do not hesitate to book this VRBO the location is perfect all balconies and outside area had the most amazing views of walled city. This apartment gives the best authentic feel of Cartagena and Rossana and Martin’s hospitality was the best. It made us not even want to leave the VRBO. Decor of apartment is so neat on each level. Spa/Pool outside we used every night so peaceful, air conditioning was perfect coming in from Colombian heat after walking around the city. There wasn’t a thing we couldn’t walk to, location is so convenient. We were so sad when we had to leave and definitely will be back:) Thank you for the amazing hospitality Rossana and Martin!

Wanted to Love this Property But . . .

This property looked amazing from the pictures and the location is just perfect. HOWEVER, we expect a functioning INDOOR kitchen (particularly at the price we were paying for this property!). The kitchen is not closed in -- it is outside exposed to the elements on a balcony area. That would not be horrible but for the fact that just over the ledge of the balcony is a bank of industrial sized commercial air conditioning units to cool the building. Regardless of the outdoor temperature, day or night, the balcony and kitchen were as hot as a furnace. We never used the "kitchen" except to put drinks in the refrigerator. It was unbearable to be in the space due to the heat. So, we functionally did not have a kitchen. Hence, I would NEVER recommend this property. Lots of stairs to get to the unit and then internally within the unit -- so not for anyone with mobility challenges. The jaccuzi had no heat -- it was just a tub of water (and there is no pool, as advertised in the listing). The property is spacious inside and very nicely decorated, and you cannot beat the location -- it is perfectly located in the most desirable area. The rooftop view is stunning. I have been using VRBOs for many years all over the world, yet I have never had an experience like this before -- property attributes which were outstanding (location) and really bad (kitchen situation) all rolled up into one experience. Communication and coordination with the hosts (property managers) was challenging.

This property is beautiful and the location is fantastic. Lovely pool, incredible views, centrally located. Prepare for lots of music and street noise each evening until very early in the morning. Use noise cancellation headphones if you stay in the pretty front bedroom, which was our solution. The top floor is very quiet. We recommend the Leon Bar by the apartment for terrific food and good service. Luis is a very kind server there.

This property is amazing, my teenage kids called it a mansion.We loved the balconies and the roof top pool. Air conditioning was great.Excellent location by the cathedral.Checking in, you have to pick up a key from a local hotel, it was a bit tricky parking as we arrived in the evening and it was busy. The hotel man was very nice.Everyone was really nice- the house keeper and the owner came and fixed our sink.I would definitely recommend this place, great spot, beautiful, amazing balconies, lots of space to hangout. A peaceful spot in the heart of the city.

WONDERFUL PROPERTY!! Great location ! Check in process could be a little easier for guest had to go pick keys up from another location then come back to property. Not fun when all you want to do is go straight to your rental and start vacationing. Other than that … MARVELLOUS

We had an amazing experience staying at this property. The host was incredibly responsive whenever we needed anything, and communication was excellent throughout — including great English, which made everything smooth and easy.The house itself was immaculate, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals (and margaritas), and the air conditioning was a lifesaver in the Cartagena heat!We especially appreciated the host’s relaxed and accommodating attitude, as well as their deep knowledge of the local area — it really helped us make the most of our visit. One of the highlights was definitely the spa in the evening — such a relaxing way to wind down after a day of exploring.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed place to stay in Cartagena!

Simply the best....

The home is wonderful, the location is ideal, and Jorge and Billy (the house attendants) are the friendliest, most helpful people in all of Cartagena. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else when visiting this historic city. My hat is off to owner (Greg) for providing a unique and memorable way to enjoy this special part of the world. A place to which I will certainly return.

We had a fantastic visit to Cartagena- an amazing city to visit! The apartment was centrally located and beautiful! Jorge was a delight to have as caretaker! Extremely friendly and helpful! We hired Billie to cook a couple meals and they were delicious. All in all the perfect place to stay in historic Cartagena!!

Great apartment, excellent service and management

I would recommend staying here to anyone, it’s a well appointed flat in my opinion perfect for a family of 4. The master is wonderful large airy room with a balcony overlooking the picturesque street and cathedral. The second room is good for kids as it’s a bit dark, an interior room without a window so another adult couple might be envious of the master. The best part about the flat though is the upstairs common area with two open air balconies and plenty of room to spread out. High recommend. Location could not be better.

Amazing home with an even better host!

From the moment I booked the house Rosanna was extremely helpful, super nice and made sure that everything needed was taken care of. My flight cam in late and her and her husband waited until I arrived to make sure there were no issues. The home is absolutely gorgeous and the photos do not do any justice. Everything you need and could want is walking distance from the house. 10/10! In addition Senora Ana made amazing meals, the house was always spotless, I will deffinitley be staying here again! strongly recommend if you are going to be in Cartagena!

Amazing

What an amazing experience staying at Rosanna’s apartment in the walled city. The apartment is beautifully decorated, and the AC was perfect to come back to after exploring the city in the heat. My kids loved the pool, although we have to watch them closely as it’s on the roof top. The pool was a great place to relax after a morning or afternoon of walking. We also loved Ada, she cooked a wonderful breakfast for my family every morning as well as made our beds and did some laundry. It was nice coming home with clean clothes. Overall the stay was 5 star and we only stay at vrbos when we travel due to ease with kids. Thank you Rosanna for the wonderful stay and hospitality!!

The photos of the property were great but they don’t nearly tell the story. In a lot of ways the property looks bigger than advertised. Great decor gave it a unique personality. The stairs may be a a bit much for some people but they weren’t even a factor to me and I’m not in the greatest of shape. Water pressure and temperature in certain bathrooms might be the only drawback I can think of but I would stay here again because it seems like Rosanna has taken the time to provide everything you would need which shows she cares about the place and will probably fix that. Ada kept the place very clean, was very helpful, and cooked a delicious breakfast (if you opt for that). Overall, a great place to stay
