I had considered renting in that building last December. Yikes.

I think this could be very well the tactic being employed. Given the rental ownership ratio, it is still considered a legal short-term rental unit. But not sure the ones who live there full-time are...

This was my exact experience when I was direct with my questions to unit owners. Some were direct with no ambiguity, while others were more vague. The vague responses were the ones that concerned me...

Totally understand. Thanks for the tip on the rental agency on La 70. As mentioned, I prefer a building that has on-site security, but would consider other options if they severely limit access to...

I have been looking more toward Envigado and Laureles, but have stayed with what I like because my stays have been limited to 7-10 days, and the Blux fit those needs perfectly. I also like Belen, but...

This is a disturbing post as I totally enjoy staying at the Blux. But I also suspect it is only a portion of the rental units. Large or small portion, who knows. Whatever the case, it appears to be a...

I know which ones you speak of. There are two different sets of apartments on the same street, managed by the same company. Both have good security doors at the street level, but standard interior...

But retreat I shall. For one, I responded in an argumentative manner just like the ones I despise. That is just not who I am. Secondly, the nature of this board is for some to share their wisdom as...

Nope. Different culture, different food, different climate. I am not there to date; not looking for a significant other. Nor did I mention complaining locals when I am out with my amigas. I mentioned...

To me this whole topic makes me wonder why people even travel to Colombia, in the first place. If the only acceptable option is to stay indoors with your amiga, and to rent a room at a Love Motel...

I totally agree. I had wondered what I would do if I was in MDE and had to stay in a regular tourist hotel, with limited guest options. This option is worth considering when you are in a hotel, but...

You are correct Sir. It is always about the $'s and it is not real. I am not looking for relationship when I am in MDE, but I am looking for a good time and enjoyable memories. I have been traveling...

My reasoning is that I usually travel to MDE solo. Mostly I do this due to my unpredictable calendar (last minute trips), but I also travel there under the radar. Having a beautiful and sexy...

This is another one of these threads that has many different faces. My life, my choice. I do not intentionally choose to snub Colombian society, but I do believe it is my right to enjoy myself while...

You can just about hit the Holiday Inn Express with a rock from M1. LOL.

Traveling thru MDE on my way to St Maarten. Due to award ticket availability within my available miles, I am planning to have 3 nights in MDE before I head on to SXM. Normally I rent apts for my...

Generally not at the casas, but freelancers. Absoutely. I am not a casa guy, but Energy or Loutrons might have something of this quality every now and again. Those who frequent the casas are better...

I have arrived as early as 12/26, but generally 12/27 or 28. I found that to be a fine week to be there. Perhaps it is because the chicas pockets are empty after buying Christmas gifts they cannot...

This statement, not to visit MDE between Christmas and NY, is less than accurate. I have traveled there at least 5-6 times in the days that immediately followed Christmas, and there was PLENTY of...

Me gusta, MUCHO!

I have been struggling with the same. I am getting tired of having to take taxis everywhere, from Poblado, not to mention a bit tired of Parque Lleras. Future trips for me are more likely to be in...

Here we go again. LOL

While I enjoyed Lima, I was there for more for tourist reasons (I. E. Machu Picchu, Cuzco, etc.). But I have to agree with you, the prices when I did partake were far too high for my liking. And...

You you are totally right, from our perspective. However, I would have to say that 30% of the hombres I know have NO interest in getting to know the girls beyond the view during doggie or with...

Just a quick editorial for the MDE newbie question. WTS provides very good feedback as do many others on this board, but I will always disagree with the advice that one needs to speak spanish to...
