[QUOTE=Margaya;2634388]Can someone please let me know if it is possible to have an early check in (around 9.30 - 10 am) at San Peter's apartment? Who should I contact to get an official answer?
Secondly. I am a Medellin and AirBnB virgin. And don't speak Spanish. Will it be a big hassle if I stay at San Peter's Apartments?
Please advise.[/QUOTE]They let you drop luggage early, normally lucky if let you check in a hour early.
[QUOTE=Plan77;2634804]Hey guys,
How do I book a room at higher or away from street at San Peter Apartment suites? Is there any way to choose or specify specific apartments?[/QUOTE]Generally read description and reviews. If all as fails ask Kathy the host of most.
I've visited Colombia multiple times, this time I'm going with a party of 6- 9 guests. One of my friends is asking if we can find a mansion (Large house) to host us. Any suggestions? This will be a Friday. Monday visit.
I've read and heard Laureles isn't as safe as it was pre-pandemic. I like the neighborhood because good restaurants and markets are within walking distance (without the hills of El Poblado). I'm typically not afraid anywhere I want to go in Colombia, but I know Bogota far better than Medellin. Any thoughts on the notion that Laureles is more dangerous now? Thanks.
I'm likely arriving on Friday from Bogota. Will it be difficult or ridiculously expensive to find an apartment with 24 security for a month over the holiday? I took a look at AirBNB and the prices seemed very high with limited offerings. Are there mid-priced hotel rooms available or will their prices skyrocket?
Any apartment alternatives to AirBNB. (That's what I do in Bogota and love it).
Thanks.
[QUOTE=FlagRunner77;2601583]Has anyone had experience staying in Orange Suites in Poblado? I've booked a nice looking suite through airbnb. Reviews on tripadvisor seem to be mixed, particularly with regards to noise and hot water.
I have confirmed with them that they are guest friendly.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]I am here now at Orange Suites on Calle 8 and have stayed here four other times since August. No issues with the hot water. No issues with the noise (I am a hard sleeper).
Hey!
I'm going to be in Medellin for the first time this weekend. Any recommendations for guest-friendly hotels? I'm looking for $100-$150 range / night.

It is the nicest guest friendly hotel in that area. Coming out of the pandemics they had some service issue with shortage of towels (management told me about some story about lack of parts for an imported commercial laundry machine) but it is fixed now. I had no issues when I was just there. This place has good beds and absolutely the best showers. Many jacuzzi rooms in your price range. Also, Take your date to their roof top. She will love it.

I don't have contact info. Google map search is the easiest way to find.
In expensive and no issue with girls with ID, non Colombians might need 2 ID's.
I've done about 9 trips to BOG over the last year. I've found that my biggest problem with mongering in Colombia is finding a decent hotel that is also girl friendly. I like soft, fluffy towels, nice bed linens, and working climate control. After trying quite a few places, I settled on the Hyatt Place. They check IDs but there is no charge regardless of how many girls you bring per day (I shoot for 3/ day on my trips). Is there anything similar in MDE? Are any American chains girl friendly (or have a reasonable fee)?

I stayed for a couple nights at the Holiday Inn express (I came a couple days earlier than planned) which is a good location. I had an awesome room. There is a pretty good breakfast up on the roof included- it was only about $65 a night. I was talking to a couple fellas and they said there was no trouble and no charge getting girls in. It was really good value and I almost went back there but I opted for Provenza Lofts. Which the girls seem quite impressed with. Me - meh. If I was yanking them out of Lleras it would be great but I am now very jaded about Lleras.
Experienced guys,
When a woman comes to see you at San Peter's apartments, do you need to go to reception to register her and escort her up or is she allowed to take the elevator if you let security know.
And is having two chicks come to your room OK or does management frown at this practice or wants extra $$?

And at times they have not allowed more than 1 at a time. But others may have a different experience. And it is not about extra $$. Offering extra $ at that place could go the other way I suspect. As in get you booted. But I don't know. That's just my impression. Units are all owned by individual owners and I suspect the owners would not condone bribery.
