Posts: 36Guest Friendly Airbnb and Hotels findings.
I have done a lot of research finding guest friendly accommodations for an over two month stay in Medellin. I wanted to get away from San Peters or anything too close to there because of the noise and I wanted to be able to host three girls should things work out. I also wanted to stay in both El Poblado and Laureles. Here are some of my findings, some of which will have to be verified once I am there at the very end of December.
Booking.com is a good resource to find guest friendly hotels and sometimes apartments. This is because you they show questions from people wanting to book the hotel and the hotel's answer. So, in hotels near Parque Lleras you see many questions if the hotel is visitor friendly and from that learn their policy, or at least, what it was at the time of the question. Bookings apartment selection is very limited compared to Airbnb, a bit more expensive, and for only 30 days, but. Most are fully refundable even if cancelled a week before the booking and they also have some accommodations that are not on Airbnb. I used them for my Rio trip a few years ago and thought I had a good value. There is also some overlap between airbnb and Booking so I have been able to use that to determine an Airbnb was not visitor friendly without having to question the host. With Airbnb besides the house rules be sure to read the descriptions for sometimes in there and not in the rules they will indicated if they are visitor friendly or not. If you find a visitor friendly place but it's not suitable, click on the host name and see what else they have which might work.
Now, as for apartments in the Parque Lleras area you will note that the visitor friendly market seems be dominated by two companies, Liv Realty and Problado Rentals. There are also some other large players, but they tend not to be as guest friendly.
Liv Realty apartments tends to be a bit away from the noise, nicely decorated (they claim to be professionally decorated, and I believe them), and reasonably priced. , if barely. All have fast internet, large flat screens. And mostly all good reviews. They currently have 104 listing on Airbnb all over Medellin. I chose one in El Problado on Carrera 43 between Calle 10 and 10 A. There will be some street noise but no bars or discos close by, and no complaints about noise from reviews.
Now, Poblado Rentals is a whole different matter. They cater to the party crowd. Their apartments mostly look the same. While they actually have some nicer ones, most are, well, for me for some unknown reason, the phase "Post Stalin Reconstruction" pops into my brain when I look at the decorations. They tend to in dark brown walls, tasteless bad art, black heavy furniture, and weird shaped coffee tables. I suspect that the furniture is an example of form follows function for the function is to survive heavy, drunk, partying gringos with girls and doing drugs in the early morning hours next to yet more gringos, drunk, drugged. Etc and the evitable interactions between the two. They almost all have hot tubs and most of the time, the hot tubs don't really fit that well into the place.
The issue with Poblado Rentals is that most are near loud areas without sound proofing near as I can tell. They also allow their guests to party all night and if you are next to them in the building well good luck getting to sleep and they are not noted for having thick walls. Last, myself and as noted in these forums by other ISG members and on the reviews, interaction with the management of these apartments can be at times. Unpleasant. My experience with them, even when I found some suitable apartments, was such to never rent from them. They are also I believe are deceptive. With Liv Realty, they list all their apartments they manage on Airbnb. Poblado Rentals has many apartments on Airbnb, maybe all but they are using different hosts names and sometimes it's hard on some of the nicer apartments, to determine if it is Poblado Rentals or not at first glance. I think they do this so they can have the same apartment on Bookings, Airbnd, Vrbo, etc. You can go to their website Poblado Rentals to see what they manage and use that to determine if is one of theirs or not. Their reviews are more mixed than Liv, but overall, if you know what you are getting into, then probably they will fine.
One thing I have noted is that Liv apartments are heavily booked while El Poblado not nearly so much. Indeed I waited too long and twice was not able to book my first choice with Liv after waiting just a few hours too long. One trick I learned was on Airbnb, you can click on the host name, see all apartments they have without specific dates so you can check each apartment and in my case, rented one for 8 days and another for 55 days and in this way, have nice visitor friendly rental from Liv all during my stay.
Here are some other visitor friendly accommodations confirmed via asking the host about visitor access but you should check yourself. All are I believe in more or less family type buildings, so if you are going to party and / or have lots of girls coming and going please don't choose these and ruin it for the rest of us, more discrete mongers. Some of the hosts have more than one rental, so that might also be used to find visitor friendly accommodations.
El Poblado:
"Great Apartment For Digital Nomads" Hosted by Angie. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/5254762...gital%20Nomads".
Laureles:
Apartamento con jacuzzi Laureles 1 Hosted by Mario: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/5297917...sts=1&adults=1.
Seven levels Hosted by Ingris https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/5297917...sts=1&adults=1.
Make sure you read the description and house rules. .
Incredible 2 bed apt with nice views laureles Hosted by Juliana https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4207115...sts=1&adults=1.
Maybe some of the best views, top floor with East and West balconies but uncomfortable furniture.
I hope you find the above information helpful. All is reasonably accurate I believe at this time.

Another category, which I tried many years ago, are the glue sniffers.
Typically they have a stench to them, similar to a heavy smoker, but instead of nicotine, it's pegamente and stinks and the odor seethes thru their pores, especially those that inhale constantly.
For the new members on this board, they are called Sacaleros, and typically they have little black bags which they squeeze the glue into and inhale. You can't miss them.
About five years ago they had a specific area at ground zero they would hang at, and this was before the Venezuelans arrived, and the area was along side the Museum in the walkway to the backside street. This used to be called "Sacalero Row", and there were some hotties there. And I did a few, as I couldn't resist trying them, but no more. I hope I don't loose any of my whiskers for not partaking in them recently.
Most of them are very thin / skinny, versus fat, and given that there brains are fried, and they are like zombies, they will do anything because they are so out of it.
I don't recommend guys do them, but a friend of mine did one recently, said there was no stench to her, supposedly because she was a part time sniffer, and anything went with her.

*not sure if it is against the rules to review chicas, remove if so LOL.
Right in front of plaza san ignacio, too lazy to go to check the map but it's on the same calle as the tranvia.
I recently said it was a bottom tier casa based on past experiences, but I went with all 11-12 girls this week so I figured ID save the mongers some time. Pretty good place worth checking out.
Mamasan (not sure male version of word?) is a bro. Totally chill guy.
Facilities are good, big rooms, but cold shower, good lobby area with sports on tv and beer.
If you want a slim paisa: isabella or valeria. Both very GFE and classic paisa look, cute, skinny and nice ass.
If you want a thick paisa: vanessa. Like 5 ft 130 but not fat, curvy. Tight, great GFE but asked for propina at the end, a turn off. . (tightest girl).
Black girl: helen. Slim figure and very tight. GFE and pleasant girl. She's costea I think.
Venny: dulce. Tan thick girl, tight with good curves. Cute face. Pleasant.
Only bad experience was karen, black hair skinny paisa, maybe chemistry was off not sure but felt cold and she took my hand off her pussy during foreplay. Mood killer. Couldn't finish.
rest of girls weren't memorable, particulary good or bad.
50 k 30 min 80 k hour.
Cuba and Zandalay are still top tier (get to zandalay early as there are lots of customers there.).

I remember when the first IlIn-and-Out burger place opened in San Diego, in LA Mesa. The line of cars stretched for 2 blocks.

I'm assuming the only place it'll be enforced are paces like hooters in poblado LOL.
Centro again today but not early enough for girls to be drinking, so I stayed more by the entrance / in front of the museum. Snagged a candy girl, but she was the opposite of charming. Been here a month from vennie. I think she was on glue, not sure. 19 yo skinny with fat ass ok face.
She begged for 2 k to buy a drink, I said ill give you a lot more than that for a rato, she said 40 k, I laughed, I said 30 k and I pay room, tip if good service. In the room total GFE, legs wrapped around in mish, the works.
Gave her 5 k after, as getting a nut with the first girl is always impressive.
As surfer states frequently, the pros are getting very seasoned. Saw probably 8 gringos in 2 hours, one of the girls behind the church was like "no hago besos, todo con preservativo" . Fuck outtta here with all these rules hhahaha.
For centro the MO right now are girls who have been drinking / candy coffee girls. The pros along the walkway and behind the church are all business now with the influx of foreigners.

Chit chat with her, ask her if she offers anything else besides coffee. Some of these girls are lucky to make 20 K for a days work, but if offered 30 K for an hours work some will jump on it.
But not all of them will, so you have to finesse how you bring things up as to not offend them.
If done properly, they won't take your advances as though you assumed they were a hoe.
And after you've done a coffee girl, will move on to the candy girls. LOL.
