Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Hutzesq;1782470]Honestly Jake's girls come from poorer neighborhoods and if you buy them a meal they are not snobby about where it comes from. The issue I had is that a lot of the nice places close up around 10 pm on a weeknight, so even when I wanted to take the girl for a good meal, I was stuck going to the row of fast food places nearby that are open a bit later as I wanted to hang out in the room before eating. The girls were more than happy with fast food.

AS far as asking a girl to be your tour guide, remember that these girls don't speak English so communication can be tough. Also Medellin is a city that is very spread out, so a good tour would require a car and driver. [/QUOTE]Good points here. The fast food however, would be a problem for me. If I travel all the way down there from North America, the last thing I want is McD's! And yes, even if a girl was to show me around, I probably will not be able to understand her history lesson of any tourist attraction if it's all in Spanish. But I think I might be able to get by enough to convey to her that she can show me a local market and order some authentic Colombian fare for me.

Hi everyone,

Here in Holland we have a very good website where prostitutes place their contact adds, they might be available for escort but most just receive you in their private rooms. The contact adds (see photo attached) shows you their price, pictures, available hours and what they're willing to do. I mean the brothels and windows are kind of outdated over here.

I'm looking for a similar website for girls in Colombia, they need to be personal adds which tell you their personal phone number / email, I'm not looking for escort websites with agencies that charge me more for their models than the girls back home.

I'm sure I remember such a website but I just can't find it anymore!

[QUOTE=ThreeHoles;1782377]Jake's is an old apartment in Poblado. It is dirty, and your "maid service" is Jake himself. Not exactly the kind of place many of us would go on vacation. While he does have a couple large rooms, the "small room" with a full bath is a maid's quarters, and if you have seen these in Colombia, you know they are barely big enough for a bed. Think jail cell. [/QUOTE]Realize I only have a few posts, mostly regarding the hat, shorts (ongoing joke) thing, but to be dumping on someone in your first post strikes me as someone with an axe to grind? Why the hate? If it isn't nice enough for your tastes, pay more and stay someplace else.

No it isn't new, or perfect but at least all the light bulbs worked, plenty of hot water, access to a full kitchen and where I stayed, the little room had just gotten a new mattress, and is in a quiet area. I've certainly paid more and gotten less before from many a "real hotel." I live in a new house, which gets dirty, then the maid (me) cleans it and it isn't dirty anymore. Coincidently I was there the end of July when the maid spent all day slaving getting the place spic and span, even under the sink where I later overheard her getting onto Jake for letting it get so bad-"negro, negro, negro". Haven't seen a person work that hard in decades.

But don't take my word for it, threeholes, which is why I present you with "prima facia evidence" of the maid, who remains unnamed, scrubbing the kitchen. She had just started cleaning, notice the yellow gloves and the scour pad, she didn't miss a square inch in the whole place.

[QUOTE=ThreeHoles;1782377]I have seen one honest review of Colombia Jake's place, where the guy said it is an old apartment. If you see any reviews of Jake's calling it a "hotel", you are in for a surprise when you visit. It is fascinating that a person can log on as a regular forum user, advertise his own business (falsely), log in with fake accounts to promote it, and barely get called out on it by other users familiar with the Medellin scene.[/QUOTE]He really shouldn't be allowed to advertise as a forum user!

[QUOTE=Surfer500;1782664]He really shouldn't be allowed to advertise as a forum user![/QUOTE]Apparently I need to serve as Jake's defense counsel here. I found Jake because of his posts on this board and I probably would not have gone to Medellin if I was not able to stay with him (I originally wanted to stay at the Mansion for my first visit but it was booked up but I was eventually able to split the trip to see both places). For a non-Spanish speaking gringo, a venue with some support like Jake or the Mansion is essential for a safe and fun first trip to MDE, especially if you are not travelling with a wingman. There are a number of other ISG boards where a local guide posts frequently (see Il Drago in Budapest (great guy) or I believe David in Peru). Being able to find a trusted local guide / host from an ISG page is a great service for a newbie (even more so in a non-English speaking place) - we all come here to enjoy the trip reports, but also to plan future trips. For me finding a local guide / host who is recommended by others is a real gift. In the last 12 months I have hobbied in 10 different countries (generally side trips after business meetings) and each country requires plenty of RTFF and usually I leave a country thinking about what I can do better in my next visit. With Jake once I have booked his place I don't have to plan at all and I know I will have great GFE experiences with hot girls. While ThreeHoles bashed Jake's apartment, he at least conceeded that the girls are hot and its not a rushed ST experience. On my last visit I arrived late, made it to Jake's place at 10 pm and there was a great chica just waiting for me in my bedroom. Exactly what you want after a long day of flying.

If you look at Jake's website you can easily tell that the apartment is older and not exactly high end. Before my first visit I asked Jake if I would have to share a bathroom and he was clear that the room did not have a private bath. He runs his business honestly and given the high volume of posts on the ISG MDE page his occasional post is hardly spam. To be fair he has occasionaly taken favorable reviews of him and reposted them without making it clear he is quoting someone. He obviously wasn't an English major and doesn't understand proper citation rules.

Generally when I travel I stay in 5 star hotels and go business class, so Jake's place is well below my normal level of accomodation. However I go for the girls and that is why I have been back and am going again. As others have mentioned, these girls are poor girls. Most live in places without any hot water, so they are very happy at Jake's and I just go with the flow and enjoy and don't worry about the lack of marble bathrooms and mints on the pillow. As others have mentioned its a bit of a frat like atmosphere, but its fun and different. Medellin is a great city and there are a lot of ways to enjoy it for every taste and budget. We all know that this hobby can be tough and we always have to be on alert for scams and ripoffs, but there is no reason to bash a guy like Jake who runs an honest business and provides a good service. If you speak fluent Spanish, know your way around all the casas in El Centro and are friends with 100 chicas on facebook, Jake's place is not for you, but for other guys Jake's place is an interesting option and an easy way to get your feet wet in Medellin.

Mr. Adventure. Maybe its because I have been trapped in the US too long, but that maid doesn't look too bad. Can't really tell from the photo.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;1782664]He really shouldn't be allowed to advertise as a forum user![/QUOTE]Lighten up a bit! Ignore his posts if you want. I'm sure Jackson is on top of this situation, and it is his call anyway.

[QUOTE=Hutzesq;1782722]Mr. Adventure. Maybe its because I have been trapped in the US too long, but that maid doesn't look too bad. Can't really tell from the photo.[/QUOTE]A better pic after a long workday back into regular clothes. While older than Jake's dates (guess around 26), it was pleasant as hell semi-napping while she was cleaning all day, singing as she worked, nobody else there, just me and her most of the day. Funny thing is the first girl I got in MDE at casa was also singing when she was giving massage. Can't remember the last time I was around a female in the US that was actually happy enough to be singing.

You've been there, you are cool with it, you know what to expect. But is that honest? Did he take your money upfront, rooms unseen?

[QUOTE=PaulPassem;1731979]I spent a couple of days at Jake's place (that is Colombia Jake, who posts here too). While he can set you up for a quick bang in the room (just like at a casa or club), what was the highlight for me was the Rent-a-date. On two different nights (with two different girls), they'd arrive just outside the hotel in a taxi, [/QUOTE]When was the last time any of you guys walked out of an apartment and called it a hotel? I guess if I lived in a mobile home, I could call it my chateau and that would be my prerogative. If I were renting out the rooms, that would be another story.

I have used both of these in the past with good results. Since I have my own contacts now, I don't use them as much any more but are still reliable for most part. A high percentage of them have silicone, which I don't like.

The reviews about these girls on the websites are also mostly accurate. You do need decent Spanish, especially if you have lot of questions or specific requests. If your Spanish is not good, use google translate and be prepared to ask all the relevant questions upfront and ask them to speak slowly.

[QUOTE=AznJ518;1772998]Hey everybody,

My buddy and I, we are looking for a pickup bar something like Del Rey in Costa Rica. Our plan is to find some girls that we can meet and invite them to party with us all night, any suggestions for a pickup day or night other than mansion??[/QUOTE]When are you guys going?

Let's say you have the following two choices in travel (and the only two available since it involves frequent flyer points). Both assume a nice 3-4 night stay in Medellin but differs in the outbound flights.

1) After a final night in Medellin, must get to the airport in the middle of the night to catch a very early morning flight at 5:30 am to the next destination.

2) Fly out at 6 pm and arrive in either Panama City or San Salvador at about 9 pm requiring a stay overnight, then fly out at 8:30 am the next morning to the next destination.

Between these two choices, which would you prefer?
