I'll be glad to share along with a big caution sign. I consider this place semi-guest friendly. The place is Soul Lifestyle Apartamentos. If you stay there, you will see several anti sex tourist...

Just got back a few days ago and I'll try to keep this short. Just wanted to share a few thoughts. For personal reasons, I probably won't be back to Medellin for a while.

So much has been made of...

Over the last few nights, I too saw some girls looking very young. Saturday night, as I walked past the gates, two girls were in front of me. I thought those girls were under 18. The two police...

I have no further info at this time though I will be in MDE in a few days. I'm not staying at Hotel M. But I promise you I'll close that bar down at least twice in the coming week. LOL. So I might...

I'm guessing you'll get a variety of different opinions here. I feel like it all depends on what you are looking for. Sex is sex, right. So Google Translate will get you laid. You might pay a...

As usual, the reality is in the middle of the two sides. Which is why we should always stick to facts.

Fact: Traveling to Medellin is not implicitly safe. Traveling to ANY city as a tourist...

For what it's worth: the employees are not aware if it is being sold. They are telling me that they know something is going on. But, they also say there is always something rumored to be happening....

Excellent comparison. One significant distinction. At the mansion, the girls are independent and set their own prices, whereas Blackbeards is a set price. But I'm splitting hairs.

It is a great...

I have no first hand knowledge about this, though I will reach out to a few friends there today. But you make an excellent point.

Granted, it's one of a few hotels that would be very girl...

Is it walkable? Yes. I've done it many times. I've never felt unsafe doing so. But depending on your familarity with the area, comfort level on dark streets, I'm sure some would say it's foolish. But...

I would say for general, random crime, Medellin is actually safer. But that's kind of luck of the draw. I think there is less concern about girls setting you up in Rio, yes.

If it comes to this,...

Well said. This board has taken a turn for the worse. I have thick skin so it's almost impossible to offend me. But between the laughable dick measuring contests about who knows more, who's more of a...

I'd always recommend the mansion for a first time visitor with limited Spanish. Very safe option. And the knowledge you'll gain from fellow mongers staying there is invaluable. You can always hit up...

I'll offer my opinion, based on my experience. Others will surely have different opinions. Much of the cost depends on where you shop. Personally, I've never found happiness with a centro girl. But...

LOL No joke, the last several times I went to the bars in Tijuana, I selceted Colombianas. I certainly didn't go looking for them. They were just simply the most attractive to me.

Towards the end...

Your words really struck me, enough to change my flights. LOL. I was going to visit Tijuana but it was all about the nostalgia. While Medellin does not have a Hong Kong, it's also true that HK is not...

Why choose? Do both! LOL.

I'm dreading the flights but I'm heading out to Tijuana from the east coast for a very long weekend and then heading to Medellin for another 8 days.

I've spent a lot...

Against my better judgement, I'm going to jump in on this one. "Itemizing" crime rates against one another is foolish. Just like a 5 year old in Chicago is caught in the crossfire in "gang violence",...

Plenty of options. Only two things to consider, in my opinion:

1. Are they girl friendly? A lot are not. And I've heard and seen stories of gringos kicked out of their place if they get caught. So...

That's a fair quesion. And you've obviously made your choice. My opinion, you've weighed the pros & cons and measured your risk profile and made the right decision for you. But that doesn't mean...

If you don't plan on frequenting the bars, Lleras area hotels are less attractive. I think you'll get more for your money elsewhere because, like you said, Uber is inexpensive. One last thing to...

During the day, Lleras is nearly a ghost town for working girls. You may find a few on Calle 10, but even that will be sparse. As a general rule, the later it is, the more options you'll have. I...

Not sure it's helpful, but I'll tell you my experience. If frequent OM more than any. Important to note: I go there knowing it's a crapshoot and my mindset is, at a minimum, I'll get a quality...

Well said. Comparing two locations comes with so many variables is nearly impossible. We can overcomplicate it. Your point is true and simple. If you fit the profile, you are a target....

For what it's worth, I'm not sure you can count on FS in these places. Been to OM several times and I think each girl is a freelancer. I've never had FS offered. Since I'm usually more interested in...
