Medellin Hotels and Rental Apartments

[Arjay]

Guys help me out here. Planning a trip to Medellin first time. Has anyone rented from.

www.theapartmentmedellin.com?

Are the the units girl friendly? I'm thinking of Parque Lleras #1504, Oviedo Mall #1806 or El Tesoro #602. Need nicely decorated 1 bed with minimal chica hassles from security or administarors.

Would welcome any comments from those in the know. I will be staying at CB 1 mansion my first week to get my bearings. My Spanish is passable. Thanks All

www.pobladorentals.com After you look around a bit and check availability for your dates, try the contact phone number, It seems everybody here likes the apts, the staff, the location, well hell everything! Just don't tell Barry he decorates like a pro from "queer eye for the straight guy" I don't want him "switching teams"

I stayed at Barry's places from Poblado Rentals 2 weeks ago, and of all the places I have stayed in Medellin, I can say that it was by far the best!

My friend and I usually stay at a friends condo, but it was being rented out. So our friend arranged for us to stay at another place near San Diego. When we got there, it was a very small cramped apt, with cot style mattresses. And they wanted $90 a night for it. I fortunately had Ruben's (Property Manager) phone number and was able to call him from this original apt.

These two beds have cot style mattresses? Ok everyone is entitled to there own opinion. Thank god for Photo's. If it's a little small the bedroom it's 1) because your real space is this 500 Sqft deck. 2) Your location is a block from the middle of the Parque.

When I stayed there I occupied the 2nd (interior) br, which to me was sufficiently spacious, with a flat-screen tv also (sorry Barry I left the porno DVD in the DVD player, I hope the next occupant was not traumatized). I picked this interior br thinking it would be quieter. It was very quiet, and comfy. The master br is in all likelihood very quiet as well, my buddy slept there till 11 am, so it works pretty well. To get to the point, both bedrooms are really nice, you will like this place, no doubt.

It's a little off subject, but each morning I would wander down to the coffee shop, Juan Valdez, and forgetting my waistline, I would order some type of super mocha, very delicious. It was in that coffee shop that my most dangerous moment arrived, disguised, of course. This dude was sitting near me, with a computer, at 930 in the morning or so, and he told me that he was really into gold, with mines both in Colombia and South Africa (and perhaps other places). He told me that he didn't mind sharing the wealth, he could promise 5% per month, with no risk. I thought, man, that's better than Bernie Madhoff!

And just look at those photos! Obviously the owner contracted out the best fruit cake homosexual interior decorator right from Queer Eye.

Yo I am sorry Shogun I was out drinking last night and must have missed a few keywords.

Thanks again

[/QUOTE]Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was making a comparison of the the apartment that we did not take because of the small cramped conditons and small mattresses. This apartment was being rented out by our friends's friend, not Barry. Poblado Rentals' mattresses were King and Queen size and were very nice and sturdy. I hope that clears things up.

Thankfully he answered and had an opening at the Penthouse Guadalajara for 3 nights and then Penthouse Sotoverde 601 the remainder of the trip for a total of 8 nights. These places were big and nice. The bedrooms had nice King and Queen size mattresses, which is rare from the other apts, I have stayed at. Also each bedroom had a ceiling fan, which I loved because I sleep with one everynight. The Bathrooms were great, each shower had enough room for 2 people at least. Each Penthouse had nice couches in the living rooms, not cheap lightweight furniture like I have noticed in other places I have stayed at. It was also convenient to use the washer and dryer at both places.

Location wise, both were a 3-4 block walk to Parque Lleras, and not difficult to find or have your taxi drop you off at.

Ruben was great, very nice. He would call us once awhile to see how everything was, but if we needed him, he was right there for us. Which was nice!

I also had him introduce me to one of the girls that he knows. The one he introduced me to was gorgeous and thin, just how I like. However she didn't really like more than 7 minutes of action, which was disappointing because she is so very beautiful.

I would highly recommend staying at any of these properties. With the ISG 10% discount and what you pay, compared to what some people are trying to get, there is no question as to the value of staying here, also if you have 3 or 4 staying with you, your price goes down.

Both of these places are 1st class!

Just be mindful of the neighbors because these are nice places, and have a great time!

I've been to Barry's place, the one by the Park 10 Hotel and it is gorgeous. A stone's throw to LLeras but just on the edge where it is QUIET. Got to love that, highly recommended.

Larger patio, stumbling distance to everything, the chicks see this place and the panties just drop LOL

i just stayed there over christmas, and it's very nice. it is a legit 2 bedroom place, so if price is a concern bring a buddy and split the cost. or if price is not a concern just rent it for yourself, it's roughly $750 a week. it is up 3 or 4 flights of stairs, but it was no problem for me or the women. there is a nice veranda or what ever you want to call it, outside, overlooking the street action and with a long view all the way to the hills. of course it's located just above parque lleras on calle 10 and avenida 37. if it fits your budget you won't find a better place. by the way, calle 10 may be underappreciated. right next to this building, on calle 10, is a computer-internet business, so if you don't bring a computer you can check your email etc. also, on calle 10 less than a block down is an atm. on the other side of calle 10, the desayunadero 10, or something similar, is very good for breakfast. on the near side of calle 10, about a block down, is a combo liquor-eating joint, with good local style meals at good prices. crossing calle 10 going away from lleras, on each side street there are little hidden restaurants, sushi, mexican, middle eastern. on calle 10 just a couple of blocks down you have mondongos, which is really not to be missed. you can also walk down to ave poblado, go to cheers next to parque presidencial. or across ave. poblado, several nice spots over there. or you could go to any of the 100 restaurants and bars in lleras.

A little bird is telling me that there might be more demand for rooms without visitor restrictions.

I have stayed in Berrys units and he runs a great opperation. One time I went down solo and did not stay with him, but his people still helped me out. Great guy and all his people.
