Medellin Hotels and Rental Apartments

[KeviKev68]

Nice guy. Plugging up their toilets. Typical ugly tourist attitude. Apparently you have not travelled much, but toilets and sewage systems were not designed for flushing down toilet paper and that is the rule everywhere in these countries. And the "no sex tourism" campaign is common. If you stay in an Airbnb you have to check the house rules and confirm that visitors will be allowed. It is not automatic. So yes, next time pay attention. And a little respect will go a long way.

No, the toilets were not plugged. I have travelled to South America. Argentina almost 20 years ago. At that time Roxanne told me about how things were before I got there. If you rent to Americans you have to know this especially if it's through Airbnb. You don't like tourists then don't rent to us.

I was in Laureles just two weeks before and was not greeted with such rudeness. BTW, there was no rules against having guests just a maximum of 2 people staying and no parties.

I just got back from a second trip to Medellin. I was last there 4 weeks ago and the Airbnb was great. For some reason I tried a different Airbnb in Laureles and the experience was not as good. It had a Jacuzzi so I though "that's cool" but when I arrived they were still cleaning it and when they were done it was too complicated to bother with.

This place was much smaller than my last place it was more like a loft or studio. The kitchen was small and fridge was the size of a bucket. Not the worst part (it's coming) there were two separate flights of stairs that I didn't like. The host was very standoffish (more on that).

The dude was telling me that after I wiped my ass I couldn't flush it down the toilet. There was a bucket next to the toilet that was the size of a small brown bag. He looked at me said "I had to take it outside and up the block on Monday and Wednesday. I was like "Ok yeah sure. ".!

I twill be helpful if you post the link to apartment where we are not welcome.

He never said a word about guests. I brought in 3 and another came back. There was no problem at all bringing guests. I guess the owner was trying to shame guests. I only saw and head from them again when I was leaving.

Yeah so then just go ahead and vandalize the apartment.

Also interested if you still took visitors to your Airbnb despite the dumb no sex tourism. I rented 2 guests so if I'm questioned my visitor is my "guest" for that point and time. I did not see any house rules or bnb rules of no changing guests.

After he left I noticed there were signs over the toilet saying use the trash bucket that's what it's for. I was taken aback when I saw a sign on the door that depicted a red heel and statement of "say no to the sex tourist" I was offended. I flushed all of toilet paper down that toilet.

The next time I will pay attention to where I rent!

I rented an Airbnb in Laureles a few weeks ago. It had a king size bed with an ac. There was another bedroom with twin beds and 2 bathrooms with a shower. It had a key card lock for entry into the building and security cameras. The host Pablo was cool and having a guest everyday wasn't a problem. It's a 5th floor apt that cost me $500 for the week without a deposit.

Do you happen to remember the link for this or any other Airbnb in Laureles?

I am heading to Medellin in May and trying to narrow my accommodation down. So far I am thinking about Orang suite and Energy but if anyone has had a good experience with an Airbnb, please share. Also I don't see alot mentions of vrbo on here, are they not good to deal with? I am looking to spend 500 to 600 usd for 5 days, place should be guess friendly. Thanks.

I'm trying to book an AirBnb in Medellin starting April 13th or so for a week. Noticed some places have AC and most don't. Is an AC recommended for Medellin for that time of the year due to humidity or is it perfectly doable without it?

I don't think you need AC for Medellin weather. I called the eternal city of Springs. I was in MDE last week and it was actually cold and rained a lot.

Hey everyone. J.

Just wondering if anybody has a good recommendation for an airbnb apartment, similar to San peter, which is chica friendly in Laureles.

San Peter is way too noisy, makes it hard to sleep late in the night. Ideally I would prefer it to be just 2-3 blocks away form LA 70, preferably near exito.

Thanks everyone!

I was in Medellin- Laureles a few weeks ago and had a really nice Airbnb that was guest friendly. A quiet neighborhood and no security. To get in you need a electronic key card. It's on the 5th floor pretty modern with a king size bed another room with 2 twins. It also has 2 full bathrooms. I stayed for 7 days and paid $500. I never actually met the host but would text when I had questions. Pablo was pretty cool he let me check in early.

I will be Medellin this week but will stay in another Airbnb that has a jacuzzi.

I would think one of the big advantages of AirBNB is that the company will not process a damage claim without proper documentation while I have heard horror stories about not getting a deposit back if you book directly. Are there reputable companies in Medellin that one can rely on them returning the deposit without hassle?

I'm looking in Laureles an Poblado by the way.

Thanks.
