No telling how low it would go.
As to myself, I'm clear to everyone I meet that I'm of modest means with a pension and an online business that is also a hobby. A recent inheritance has improved my situation some. I have good genes with the vast majority in my recent family tree living to near or beyond age 90 so I'm waiting for the greatest benefit before taking Social Security.
At the end of the day, and to go back to where it started, the stewardess, who certainly isn't staying in dumps or hostels, was wise to keep her luggage in the bathroom. She probably does inspections also, all wise no matter what you pay for the rental property according to the specialists that know what they are talking about. The aim is to prevent bringing any of these creatures with you when you leave that can ultimately wreak havoc in your primary residence. It's worth a bit of extra effort, and those here discussing it were on the right track.
P.S. I'll add for the readers that the injection "lice" into the discussion was a false equivalence. They can only survive one to two days without a host. Bed bugs can last up to a year without any feeding whatsoever, and thus are the far greater threat in hotels.

Here is a guy bragging about not getting ripped off for a few bucks from cabs and Rappi yet he could get an apartment for $300 a month nicer than this flebag hotel. What is up with that?
Well, I know because I got an apartment and it was a $5000 deposit and thousands more to furnish it. So this man of "great wealth" does not have the money for furnishings and a deposit. He is every bit the pretender than that Paulie said he was.
V sounds like a guy with $25,000 in the bank getting a $2000 monthly pension but because he lives in Colombia, he has convinced himself how wealthy he is.

Unlike anyone else, with Viliany though, I would like to take a wrench and smack him in the fucking head, and now I know I why. If anyone else came at me like he did, they would be getting points. Hell, I just got points in the political section being "argumentative". LOL. What is the point of that forum if not to argue?
Thing is I know when I am over the line and insulting someone, and agreeing with you did insult Viliany but I did not do that on the political forum, and it is the second time I have gotten points after insulting his sorry ass. I do not know if he is a mod or fucking a mod but something is up with that asshole. Half that prick's posts are him riding my ass.
What really pisses me off is this asshole does not want me posting because his sorry narcissistic ass cannot handle it because he thinks he deserves better. He hears about me with a 10 GF and a great place in Cartagena and thinks he is a loser and if that is the case, who are we to say otherwise?
The other hoot was Viliany, AKA Mr. Stock market, said he was not fighting the Fed. Well, guess who just handed his ass to him? Drum roll please. The Fed. I told this prick the Fed was doing all it could to get the market down. Powell came out and gave a speech that rattled the market, and the Dow was down 1,000 points. Hell, after his speech, a Fed governor said the market going down was a good thing. How much more clear can they be? If you want to be long the market, have at it but be logical not this bullshit that the Fed likes me. That is the narcissist with this guy. Fauci likes me. Biden likes me. They do not know who the fuck he is, but he thinks they do. Oh yeah, and bed bugs would never snap at his "rich" ass and neither would lice. LOL. I know rich people with kids have had hair lice. Jesus. What a piece of work.
Hey, V, my gal, the one my friends said was a boob job away from being a 10 is getting one, and she is better looking, better in bed, and nicer than anyone you have been with or will be with. My place in Cartagena has three bedrooms, and they all have 65+ inch TVs. There is a computer in every room, a play station in the main room, and I spent $5000 on the furniture. I stay in a better place one week a month than your sorry ass does who lives there. Oh, and I have a stunning view of the ocean. When I was in Medellin, I did not live in some flea bag hotel and then said I was close to Dann Carlton, the Marriott, and the Intercontinental, I stayed at all those hotels. And finally, I am back up 25% for the year while your sorry ass is down 15%.
So brag all you want about how Taxis and Rappis do not rip you off. I am so fucking jealous of that / sarc.

El Poblado is new growth with heavy foreign investment. If you're part of the local government and are deciding who to hit hardest with municipal taxation, who do you select? On one hand there's all the old, established, wealthy families living in Laureles. On the other are a bunch of foreigners and loud young newly wealthy folks.
The hotel in question, the best rate I've seen for it is $50 per night. I believe I paid $70 when I stayed there in the spring. It's a nice place, much nicer than what is available towards the south end of La 70. I doubt if he's spending less than $1000 per month. However, within walking distance there are several hotels where he could be spending $500 or less.
If he was really desperate to save money he could easily find an apartment for $300 or less and save more money by eating in.
I've had lunch with Villainy a few times. He orders Corona, instead of Pilsen. He eats at the more expensive restaurants, and not at the 6 k fried chicken place (which has some pretty good chicken). If your line of attack is through his finances, he's in a much better position than you are.

You are claiming that you spelled El Poblado as "El Pablado" two times and it was a typo??
You do know that the "a" and "o" are on opposite sides of the keyboard? I don't mean to laugh at you too hard on that. I'm just surprised that someone who claims he visits Medellin as much as you claim, wouldn't be able to spell that barrio correctly. Maybe you were staying with that other "imaginary" visitor. Your buddy MDS??
The Hotel I'm staying at is rated as 4 star by: Hotels.com, Priceline, Kayak, Trip Advisor, Travelocity, Booking.com, Expedia and Agoda. Perhaps they forgot to consult you.
BUT much like another character without integrity on the board. You never let the truth get in the way of the story you want to tell. Or perhaps, you just aren't smart enough to look things up.
Tell us, Paulie Wolly Doodle, which is it??
As to my budget, PWD, indeed I am on a budget. But it's a pretty good one. How about your budget Paulie Wolly Doodle? Where do you stay when you "visit" Medellin?? Not the imaginary fantasy trips you dream about, but the real ones. Assuming you actually are able to save enough to visit. I have heard from sources that you stay in hostels and / or two story hotels. Surely Walmart is paying you more these days, so you can keep up with inflation.
Keep saving Paulie. Maybe we can read one of your real trip reports one of these days, when you can afford to visit.

Dropping the mike.
Crank up your fan. Pull up your Spartan plastic desk chair to your Spartan desk and write me another reply. Maybe I'll get around to reading it. Ya never know. Wink. That's even though you were cooked on the central point from the get go, and that hasn't changed nor will it.
