Posts: 4051The carrera 46 address is accurate. The place is also known as "Andromeda". It's pretty good, they usually have a tout out front to grab guys headed toward Zandaly around the corner. It's two steep flights up from the street so it might be a problem for some.

Posts: 314Arrived in Medellin
So, I made it to Medellin.
I never managed to book at Hotel M, because they are kind of incapable. I sent email and when I wanted to confirm they didn't reply back. Then I called and the guy told me to send email. Then someone called me back on my voicemail and whatever.
Another member recommended I try Hotel Kong at Calle 55 x Carrera 43, centro. This is a love hotel that you can book on Booking dot com. I booked that super cheap. I think they only do during the week not on weekends. This here is not comparable with the Brazilian motel. I never understand why they wouldn't put the full mirror set around the bed. But my room has a bathtub / Jacuzzi right here. The place can be loud as they have full sound systems in every room. When I came in one guy was doing it and it sounded like a disco was going on at that side of the building.
I am only here as a fall-back option. But it gave me the chance to scout out downtown. During the day time and early evening it is how downtowns are, lots of shopping and open air markets. In the early evening the whole place turns into a brothel it seems. Tons of chicas walking and standing idly about. Most of them leave me with disgust though. I tried to get turned on, but I have a hard time. Even in Panama at Habano's Cafe, the way the putas are presenting themselves is turning me off. Because it's all so fake. Once you are with them and you haven't specified everything exactly the nagging and negating starts. No interest. The street lingering ones are annoying and really ruin their own business. Because they stand in group and when you want to get a better view of one, the others get in the way. And when they start hollering at me, that gives me the rest for me to just walk away.
I saw a very curious scheme around the Museum park. There are really young ones who "sell lollipops" obviously it is about chuipeta. There was one girl who got my attention and I started to want her. Cute face and now I am thinking she might even have been some months pregnant. I approached her and asked what she is "offering" with those lollipops. Unfortunately again the others barged in and ruined it with lewd talking. I asked that girl what her age was, she replied 18. My next question would have been if she could prove it. But all that annoying gacking of the others turned me off and I walked away. I am sure with those lollipop girls you need to check the papers three times and do have the hotel check them too. It might even be a trap as they seemed to approach particularly older men. Oh, I forgot, when I looked in the girl's face up close I got turned off. May be without the other's gacking I could have appreciated the strange traces as exotic, but it was to tense a situation.
That is the problem there, you can't really sit down and drink a beer while watching the girls go by. You have to walk around. Everyone is walking around, I saw some other nervous gringos on the hunt.
I didn't feel unsafe at all, but then I am a lot in Rio and to me Medellin and Bogota appear well more civilized, almost European. The country side of Medellin is beautiful by the way, as you come down from the airport, it is like you drive through Switzerland. Oh yes, and the airport bus was very convenient. I just took the one to Centro until the final stop, and then hopped into a Taxi for the last mile to Hotel Kong.
Now I am resting and later will check out Fase Dos and Luna Lunera. Just to have seen it once. My goa ls to bring a girl back for the night to use the jacuzzi and like I said, I want to have one in my bed every night. I love to wake up to a warm and soft girl.
For the rest of my days I have lined up a multi day blind date. Unfortunately I didn't take the time to plan it out earlier so it failed because of last minute. My style is being picked up from the airport. That failed. But now I have that girl locked down for the rest of the 3 nights until I leave. I dunno, I suck like that. I am not good with the short time, I enjoy more something steady. We'll see how it goes with her.

I assume you've been in a hotel. Do you know who stays in hotels? Travelers. They are there for a few days or weeks and then they are gone. The people paying for the rooms are constantly changing. While they might write a bad review, their effect on the hotel is minimal, especially a large, established hotel with hundreds of reviews. The hotel probably has a guest policy, but it's not a big deal.
Have you ever lived in a condo or townhouse? Almost all the residents are there for many years. They don't move to a new apartment every 6 to 10 days. If there are 4 or 5 short term rentals in a building of 100 apartments, the short term owners are grossly outnumbered. The other residents have the power to cause serious problems. If you own those 4 apartments and the administration is pressured to require 3 month minimum leases for any rental units, or administration fees are raised for short term rentals, or they charge a fee to register short term renters, your AirBnB investment just went south.
If you continue to say "fuck you" to the AirBnB hosts, you and everyone else who wants to bring someone back, will lose that option.
It's not difficult. Ask first. If you ask first you don't get a bad renter review. If you ask first you don't find out that the girl you're ready to fuck isn't getting in to the building. If you ask first you don't end up paying for another taxi and a short time hotel and another taxi and an extra tip for the girl because you wasted 30 minutes arguing with security.
If you ask first you don't cause another AirBnB host to refuse to rent to gringos because they don't respect the owner's rules.

What I mean is that I won't bring a prepago into the building. If I'm paying someone for sex, I'm not bringing them home with me. How they look or dress matter.

I can go to any casa, strip club or massage parlor, I can go to a love motel, or just rent a hotel room. If a friend comes and stays for a few days I would give him the same options.
People should ask themselves "Would I do this at my house?" "Would I do this at my parent's or friend's house?" when they are considering an AirBnB. If not, find a hotel, or clear it with the host.

Posts: 15998Damn. Strong points by both Jj and YK. Some guys get so wrapped up in the hobby that they begin to consider it normal. Well it may be their normal, but everybody does not have the same idea of normal. Commom sense ain't so common; that is why contracts exist. It has been said time and time again that locals take hookers to love motels. Foreigners have no shame and bring them right through their front door of where they are staying.

Posts: 30My resentment is more for the harsh review, I mean I understand where she comes from as a home owner don't get me wrong, if I had a apartment or home I am renting through airbnb a guest who would participate in such activities would give me a sense of unease. Again when she called me to tell me to leave her apartment, I responded in a nice manner, I complied and that I understood I would leave immediately and apologized and everything. In spite of that the next day we met, she had money that she gave me for the remaining days that I had booked it, she was of course obviously pissed I was still polite and calm and apologized in person, and to put a review that I was a "terrible" experience, a sex tourist (even though there is noevidence poiting that the girls were pros, I mean yes they were but its not like she had evidence they could have been my "friends) and labeling me as rude and an unwanted guest. The harsh and over exaggerated review is what really bothers me as opposed to her anger as a host.

Years ago I went to a strip club and parked my car facing the street, instead of in the back. Some friends saw the car and stopped in. If I had a wife or girlfriend, it could have been a problem. Instead it just meant I had to put up with some guys who weren't much fun in a strip club.
AirBnB is like handing your car keys over to a complete stranger. Wherever people see your car they will assume you are involved. While you probably have rules; don't drink and drive, don't smoke in the car, be careful, you probably aren't going to list every type of alcohol and every brand and type of smoking material that you want them to avoid. You might not even mention some rules, because to you they are common sense rules, or because they are outside your awareness.
Bringing prostitutes into your home isn't normal. It doesn't matter where, society sees it as improper conduct. A woman, living in a very religious, Catholic country, especially in a good neighborhood, doesn't see prostitution. It does not exist in her awareness. It's only something that happens in the bad places where she never goes. She doesn't feel the need to specify "no prostitutes" just like you probably don't ask houseguests "don't murder the neighbor kids. " In her world nobody would do such a thing.
AirBnB isn't just a rental. You are paying to be a guest in someone's home. As a guest, if you want to do something that is not normally accepted behavior, it's your responsibility to ask the host. If you crap on people's floor, they have a right to be upset, even if they never said "don't crap on the floor. ".
