Posts: 122San Peter interior provision: It depends
In response to Blakman;2474254 _Decor and space.
The San Peter is a condo building, so interior design (furniture, wall finishes, decoration), cooking / dining equipment, and other features (type of entry lock, safe / no safe, Wi-Fi, cable TV, hot water heater setup) varies from owner to owner (unit to unit) Most units are managed on behalf of the individual owner through the on-site manager for the building as a whole, but some are listed / managed independently through AirBnB. Photos usually available.
In terms of space, as I recall there are three (or perhaps four) units per floor, each with its own configuration and varying in size (studio, small one bedroom, and larger one bedroom options). As another member reported, the noise problem depends on the orientation of the unit.
I can confirm that the management is Girl Friendly but quite strict about IDs. One of my favorites (a Venezuelan hottie) had a Colombian photo Cedula de Identidad issued by Immigration (Permiso Especial de Permanencia or PEP), but the management said there were too many fakes in circulation and insisted on her having another form of cedula as well. We ended up having to have our trysts in a nearby hotel.

Do you happen to know if it has to be a cedula or can it be a Vennie / any passport?

No board members or dudes will be visiting me. The only way I will see a board member is if they play tennis or work out in a gym LOL.

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.
