What the hell! Do you know if it is going to be remodeled as a hotel or what?

Definitely girl friendly. They need to have their cedula when they show up but the staff understands the attraction of the place and are very open minded.
Location is very good. The area is ripe with restaurants but unfortunately at the moment most are closed. But your deliveries will be very prompt if you order from places nearby.
There are a lot of banks in the immediate area so you won't have to go far to make ATM withdrawals.
These are more like apartments and have a kitchen that includes a microwave, a stove, a refrigerator, silverware etc. So you can cook your own food or reheat left-overs.
Rooms are fairly spacious so you won't feel like you are living in a shoebox (which is true of a lot of hotels). Rooms have a washing machine but not a dryer. You'll take your damp clothes from the washer.
And put them on a rack and turn on a large floor fan that will dry them off in an hour or so.
WiFi is consistently good.
Disadvantages:
The showers don't always work to perfection which means you may not have hot water on demand. You'll want to verify this (assuming it is important to you) before committing to a certain room.
There is no daily maid service. You'll have to wash your own sheets and pillow-cases and dry them and remake your bed along with sweeping the floors and washing your bathroom towels.
The price is on the expensive side. You may be able to negotiate a deal during the quarantine but that same deal is available at a lot of upper end hotels in Laureles which have better amenities.
There is a bar on the registration floor which is open several (but not all) days of the week, but is closed during the quarantine. The staff and owner are friendly and other like-minded extranjeros are usually there.
Which can make for fun company and conversation.
The place is half a block off of La 70 (a major street) but is a little difficult to fine for some taxis. Not a major issue but it can be annoying at times and if your girl messages you about the location, you may.
Need to be prepared to address it.
Good Luck!

Posts: 166Apologies and thanks.
At the end of June I made a couple of posts on this forum, particularly enquiring about how viable Colombia was for people of my age group (late 60's) Several of you made useful replies and I had fully intended to thank you all personally with a reply and ask a couple of other questions.
About this time I looked on the worldometers site regarding Coronavirus and saw that Colombia, was then ranked 23rd for infections, but was reporting 6 k cases a day. I thought I should wait before wasting anyone's time with more questions. Since then Colombia has moved up to 8th place and 10 k infections a day are not uncommon. Under the circumstances, I have abandoned any plans to go there for the foreseeable future.
I am just writing to say, thanks to those who made an input, and my apologies in taking so long to reply.

Posts: 4015In Colombia, most of the demand for pussy and everything else is from Colombians. That said, I can understand how it might not seem that way if Poblado is the center and Laureles is the great beyond.
Buenos Aires is a good choice for Pollo Negro, even if it is not close to Campo Valdes. It's within a 15 to 20 minute walk to the forbidden zone (for him) of Plaza Botero. It has a growing number of low key high quality restaurants and bars but it is also a real barrio where the prices of basic necessities are not skewed toward gringo trade.

Of 1. 25 M paisa men, I am sure even if just 10% partake to some extent that is like 125 k punters. So the numbers are orders of magnitude variant. Its the local demand or lack of it that drives the market. Yeah sure the gusto chicas might be having to get off their pedestals, but the average chica is struggling more because the colombianos don't have the disposable income right now. Of course whether gustos or otherwise if the clientele the prepago serves is skewed to gringos then she is impacted more, but the market is a lot more than gringos.

Posts: 586Yep, the only parties for you will be in your apartment and in your pants. I would be happy to go to Colombia and hole up in my apartments. But that's not so appealing for guys who have never been or who go infrequently. As going out is a big deal at first.

On a side note, I enjoy reading your regular reports. I've only been to Colombia five times (Cartagena, Bogota, Cali, San Andres Island, Medellin) and each time I read one of your reports, I think "I've got to get back there sooner rather than later. " You guys in Colombia are living an enviable life.

Thanks for info. I love the nightlife. As well as the quiet LOL. But I do not think there will be any night life anytime soon.
