Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=MongerLonger;2821297]Has anybody ever eaten here? It's right next to Loutron and it gets really high marks for food and atmosphere. Do you know if there is a way to get there without walking all the way around via the street? They're right on top of one another and I find it hard to believe there isn't a path or a staircase between the two. I get peckish after the deed and a good meal with a view fits the bill.[/QUOTE]One of my favorite places in town! The view is unbeatable and a good date spot. Try to ask for the 1st row tables at the balcony which have unobstructed views when making reservations.

Oddly enough, I don't advise getting steak here, they can't seem to get the doneness right (actually I have yet to be impressed with steak in Colombia anywhere).

Not aware of another entrance than the street courtyard.

[QUOTE=DownLow123;2820970]My airbnb specifically said "no sex tourism". My airbnb had a doorman but I specifically got an airbnb on 1st floor away from doorman. I averaged about 2-3 girls per day for 2 weeks, never was questioned by doorman nor host. I know my doorman saw at least a couple of my girls come and go, especially when one of my longer term girls took out the trash walking right by the doorman and giving him a hola, como esta? I should also note I added a 2nd guest to my airbnb (at no additional cost) prior to paying for it. Did this in the event if I was ever questioned I would say the girl is my guest. But never had too.

Don't be naive, they know what were there for and they care more about renting there shit out than the no sex tourism bs.[/QUOTE]I agree with you DL that those renting out their places only care about money, however I think you are missing a few things.

I rented a place in Mexico City for four nights for like $400. The owner claimed I did $900 worth of damage. She had a picture of a dirty dish and scuff marks on a couch. We were running late to the airport and did not have time to clean like I like to. I gave her $50 and showed Airbnb the costs of a maid and to clean a couch in Mexico City and stated that $50 should cover it. I also told AirBnb that I doubted that we caused the scuff marks and said I felt like the owner was trying to stick it to a gringo. I also said if they sided with her that I would cancel my account and would not willingly pay them that $900 and would see them in court.

AirBnb did something I thought at first was weird but later realized was smart. They kept telling me they were investigating the case for weeks. I suspect that AirBnb was saying to the lady if you are apartment is not up to par, we are not going to put your apartment up on the site for people to rent it. In other words, you are going to have to spend $900 in repairs and THEN we will ask for you to be compensated or you can say the $50 is enough for cleaning and getting the place up to snuff. Now she is losing potentially $100 a night in rent. Worse, her reputation is being dinged. Finally, I think she backed off and told AirBnb the $50 for cleaning was adequate. Point is Airbnb was smart and was not going to let the woman profit off her potentially false claim.

So DL what are you going to do if the items in the apartment are vandalized, and the owner says I want $5000? You got a doorman saying you have women coming and going. You could have Airbnb saying you are engaged in sex trafficking and potentially in a USA court in violation with your agreement with the owner. You are cooked and have no defense. The smartest thing for you to do at that point would be to pay that owner whatever he wants.

If your Airbnb host says no trafficking, take your women to a love motel. Airbnb has different rules than hotels.

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2821341]You're thinking of the wrong danger. The danger, if they have no ID, is that they are also lacking the 18 years required to make them safe, from the legal perspective.

Of course, as has been reported before, if they don't have an ID, and they're working with the police, it doesn't matter if they're 25. You end up paying a big bribe, probably 1 that will require a visit to the ATM.

That of course is the best case scenario. Worst case you end up doing a Jake.[/QUOTE]That is a big scam that happens in the Philippines. Girl with no ID, police knock on the door, police say girl is underaged, girl says she is 17. With no ID, and the police and the girl saying she is 17, what is your defense? It puts you in a difficult situation where it will be money for the bribe or being taken to the police station until you decide to get the money for the bribe.

Now I don't know if this is a thing in Medellin. I just know that it is a thing in the Philippines.

[QUOTE=MongerLonger;2821297]Has anybody ever eaten here? It's right next to Loutron and it gets really high marks for food and atmosphere. Do you know if there is a way to get there without walking all the way around via the street? They're right on top of one another and I find it hard to believe there isn't a path or a staircase between the two. I get peckish after the deed and a good meal with a view fits the bill.[/QUOTE]I have eaten there and it is as advertised, the view is spectacular and food is great. I went there without a reservation and the hostess seated us upstairs and there was a fine ass chica Djing up there.

The view is spectacular day or night. The food is better than what you normally get in a place that has a waterfront or mountaintop view because these places can get away with low quality product that would not be tolerated at a place without the killer view. I rate the food on par with the other upscale places in Poblado. The prices are very fair.

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2821341]Worst case you end up doing a Jake.[/QUOTE]What is a jake?

[QUOTE=DonMedellin;2821349]Is this place near la 80, a silver metal door? There were some nice milfs working there back in like 2021. Now I am not sure. Isabel looks nice in photo, was she there when you arrived?[/QUOTE]It's on Carrera 81#42-60 apartamento 202 in Laurels and when they press the button to open the door it flings open all the way flat against the wall due to the springs. All the ones presented in the pictures with the exception of Emma were present. So if that's the Isabella you're talking about then she was there.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2821419]What is a jake?[/QUOTE]Offing yourself. Remember Board Member ColombiaJake? When he got busted he killed himself in jail. Just google ColombiaJake and you will see tons of articles about the situation.

My entree was just OK but hers was very good. The view is amazing but we were not seated at a table with a view. The place was packed on a weeknight. The band was too loud but still a good evening. Service was excellent. Had photo shoot with the hottie SA chica on the deck after meal.

[/QUOTE]As with women, someone's 5-star may be another person's 1-star. I ate there one time with three other people. We had steak, pork, fish, and something they said was seafood. It looked like ravioli without the sauce. Very bland taste. The fish was good. The steak and pork were average at best. I tried to order chicken, but the waiter said the only chicken on the menu would take more than hour to prepare. I asked for a glass of water and the waiter said they didn't have a license to serve water in a glass, only bottled water. The only bottled water was imported from France and was served at room temperature, without a glass of ice. We were seated near the band that was playing that night. They were so loud that we could not have a conversation. The view from the balcony is good. The prices were ridiculously high for Medellin.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2821419]What is a jake?[/QUOTE]He is referring to Colombia Jake. Another know it all who was too smart to listen to anyone. I think if you search the forum you will find the story of his demise some 4 or 5 years ago.

The last time I went we had lots of difficulty finding Loutron.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2821097]Not sure why my pictures didn't upload earlier but anyways here is the diamond in the rough and the pictures of my lunch. Both the chica and the lunch were in el centro. And I didn't get robbed, stabbed or killed by the way.[/QUOTE]You are giving posters the opportunity to bash the girl and the meal in order to show other posters how refined their tastes are.

Ole MB, I'm going to be in Medellin this summer hopefully sooner than later. I'm going to pull up on you and I better see Ms Colombia on your hip or your a fraud.
