Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Kbdb2488;2819568]I will search the forum for answers but looking for best guest friendly Airbnb's and hotels in Laureles. Any info appreciated.[/QUOTE]You won't find much on guest friendly airbnbs. An individual airbnb may allow a guest one day and then change their house rules and not allow it. You can look at Airbnb listings, see what the listing says under the "rules" section, and sometimes under the safety and security section, and guest comments. And you can usually know which ones do NOT allow guests. But to be sure you will need to check with the host before booking. However sometimes you will see listings on Airbnb for some of the more common spots such as San Peter in Laureles, Energy Living, or places that P o be l a the o Rentals have, and these are or have been guest friendly. They show up under hotel searches, [URL]booking.com[/URL] searches, Airbnb, etc.

[QUOTE=Carrib;2819518]E, I went there 2 nights -Monday, very slow and on Friday and it was packed, I was charged 50 K. At first, I thought I was being scammed but on the second visit I noticed the sign on the door which in fact said 50 K. They must be changing the price on a whim. Now another member posted he paid 40 K pesos. If we don't take control of these prices, before long La ISL will be charging 100-150 K entrance fee.

Here's an idea -gather up a few mongers (at least 5) go there and if they try to charge 50-80 K pesos, ask to be let in for 30 or 40 K if not go to Fase 2.
No need to make a scene or raise your voice in fact be real cool and if they refuse, simply let them know that you will be going elsewhere with your dollars.[/QUOTE]Join the mongers union now. We'll teach them what to charge. Nice idea, but I don't think that will change very much.

But as a group they might give you a break if you asked nicely as you suggest. That is very possible.

If it is a bit vague, I always sent a message to the host asking about their guest policy and they will tell you. I always recommend that you confirm the guest policy on an Airbnb before booking. The hosts usually get back to you quickly. There are many great Abnb's that I would love to stay in except for their guest policy. If you want to bring girls back to your place, it does eliminate a good number of wonderful places to stay.

San Peter is the old standby and you can't go wrong there. The only complaint I have is noise issues with that nightclub next door.

[QUOTE=Kbdb2488;2819568]I will search the forum for answers but looking for best guest friendly Airbnb's and hotels in Laureles. Any info appreciated.[/QUOTE]You can look for Airbnb's with private entrance, keylock / code entrance (you never meet anyone). Those basically don't care, since they are not monitoring. Some more affordable places in Manila (down the hill from Laureles); yet still in the middle of everything.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2818688]Calle Real and Premier Plaza and various others up in prado area a cpl blocks up the street from hotel nutibara (if you have the cajones to stay in that area LOL).[/QUOTE]I briefly met a young guy with mental problem and a loud redneck guy who stayed at Premier Plaza last year. I heard that the hotel is noisy and sometimes guests' money are stolen. I saw some gringos in the area. All were unattractive guys and some look creepy. They all sounded like highs chool graduates or dropout, and no college graduate. They stood out and the locals hated them. The area looks safe but I know tons of gringos and Colombians who were robbed there.

[QUOTE=Ullo200;2819512]But I read previously in this thread that hotel nutibara is guest friendly?[/QUOTE]That was an example of sarcasm. It's harder to find a hotel in El Centro that isn't guest friendly than it is to find one that is.

If you don't want to spend money at a strip club, instead of wasting time and money going to strip clubs where you'll need to spend money, go somewhere else.

[QUOTE=SilverTurtle;2819689]I saw some gringos in the area. All were unattractive guys and some look creepy. They all sounded like highs chool graduates or dropout, and no college graduate. They stood out and the locals hated them.[/QUOTE]That was probably me. Why didn't you say Hello,?

Was bitching about prices a few posts ago but it is what is. Outcall from "Melissa Fitness" from prepagos. I'm a gym rat, I squat 400 lbs, She made me look like I've never touched a weight in my life. Insane physique, massive quads even by my standards, damage was 450 k for 2 in an hour. Showed up at that exact minute I asked which is surprising most chicas are like 30 minutes late from my experience. She was honestly really cool and had a great attitude, face was kinda weird but not ugly. Would recommend and might repeat.

BTW met a girl on tinder who is 30 years old who quoted me in fucking USD, and $120 at that. No thanks. I've been coming here since 2018 and I think the end is near.

It is actually a good thing that they stay there and do their thing, away from nicer neighborhoods and decent gringos.

There will be no one checking the girls and watching them when they leave. I stayed at such a place and I felt there is also the possibility that someone can watch you enter your lock code and rob you when you are not home. The girl you are bringing to the place will be right next to you when you enter the code, and you have to be careful that she does not see the code.

I'm back in Medellin.

Anyone interested in meeting up? Lunch, dinner, or drinks. I don't drink but can hang out.

JohnG: Fucking gringos ruining the market for me!

[I] Later that day...[/I]

JohnG: Hola bebe let's meet, what the price?

Chica: It's Gringo Price, mor.

JohnG: Alright fine with me, Cheaper than home.

[I] Later that night...[/I]

JohnG: Will you suck it natural?

Chica: Bebe! That is an Extra Gringo Price, mi cielo.

JohnG: OK, cheaper than home.

[I] 3 minutes later...[/I]

Chica: Estoy cansada.

[I]El fin.[/I]

On a side note, I don't visit New Life often, but last time I've been, a chica was quoting me extras in US dollars all of the sudden, saying how cheap it is for me and playing all indignant.
