We had an amazing experience staying at this property. The host was incredibly responsive whenever we needed anything, and communication was excellent throughout — including great English, which made everything smooth and easy.The house itself was immaculate, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals (and margaritas), and the air conditioning was a lifesaver in the Cartagena heat!We especially appreciated the host’s relaxed and accommodating attitude, as well as their deep knowledge of the local area — it really helped us make the most of our visit. One of the highlights was definitely the spa in the evening — such a relaxing way to wind down after a day of exploring.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed place to stay in Cartagena!

Simply the best....

The home is wonderful, the location is ideal, and Jorge and Billy (the house attendants) are the friendliest, most helpful people in all of Cartagena. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else when visiting this historic city. My hat is off to owner (Greg) for providing a unique and memorable way to enjoy this special part of the world. A place to which I will certainly return.

Great location . Great accommodation. Would definitely stay again. Kitchen is un usable due to hot weather because it is open to the outside…but we are out every meal so it wasn’t an issue. If you don’t mind that this is definitely the place for you. The host could be better at communicating but everything worked out just fine. I would recommend

Gorgeous flat, dynamite location, wonderful host

My family of five had a wonderful stay last week! The flat is just lovely and in a wonderful location on the edge of the city. The roof deck and small pool were great to relax in after a day of walking around. An easy walk to the marina for departures to the islands. Rosanna and her husband are lovely. She was super helpful with restaurant recommendations, covid testing and even a ride to the airport! We have VRBO'ed several times and this is one of our favorites "Mom, you hit it out of the park". Highly recommend.

Great apartment, excellent service and management

I would recommend staying here to anyone, it’s a well appointed flat in my opinion perfect for a family of 4. The master is wonderful large airy room with a balcony overlooking the picturesque street and cathedral. The second room is good for kids as it’s a bit dark, an interior room without a window so another adult couple might be envious of the master. The best part about the flat though is the upstairs common area with two open air balconies and plenty of room to spread out. High recommend. Location could not be better.

Best VRBO in Cartagena

Do not hesitate to book this VRBO the location is perfect all balconies and outside area had the most amazing views of walled city. This apartment gives the best authentic feel of Cartagena and Rossana and Martin’s hospitality was the best. It made us not even want to leave the VRBO. Decor of apartment is so neat on each level. Spa/Pool outside we used every night so peaceful, air conditioning was perfect coming in from Colombian heat after walking around the city. There wasn’t a thing we couldn’t walk to, location is so convenient. We were so sad when we had to leave and definitely will be back:) Thank you for the amazing hospitality Rossana and Martin!

From the moment I booked the house Rosanna was extremely helpful, super nice and made sure that everything needed was taken care of. My flight cam in late and her and her husband waited until I arrived to make sure there were no issues. The home is absolutely gorgeous and the photos do not do any justice. Everything you need and could want is walking distance from the house. 10/10! In addition Senora Ana made amazing meals, the house was always spotless, I will deffinitley be staying here again! strongly recommend if you are going to be in Cartagena!

Amazing

What an amazing experience staying at Rosanna’s apartment in the walled city. The apartment is beautifully decorated, and the AC was perfect to come back to after exploring the city in the heat. My kids loved the pool, although we have to watch them closely as it’s on the roof top. The pool was a great place to relax after a morning or afternoon of walking. We also loved Ada, she cooked a wonderful breakfast for my family every morning as well as made our beds and did some laundry. It was nice coming home with clean clothes. Overall the stay was 5 star and we only stay at vrbos when we travel due to ease with kids. Thank you Rosanna for the wonderful stay and hospitality!!

The photos of the property were great but they don’t nearly tell the story. In a lot of ways the property looks bigger than advertised. Great decor gave it a unique personality. The stairs may be a a bit much for some people but they weren’t even a factor to me and I’m not in the greatest of shape. Water pressure and temperature in certain bathrooms might be the only drawback I can think of but I would stay here again because it seems like Rosanna has taken the time to provide everything you would need which shows she cares about the place and will probably fix that. Ada kept the place very clean, was very helpful, and cooked a delicious breakfast (if you opt for that). Overall, a great place to stay

Perfect Vacation Property.

We had a fantastic time here. This place is an oasis in the best part of town and my only complaint is that I cant give it more stars. The property is so beautiful that we enjoyed hanging out there just as much as touring the city. Jorge was great to have around and really made the trip for us, and Billys cooking was better than most meals we had out. The only thing I feel like I can add to the endless 5 star reviews of this property is a review of the 2nd bedroom. We were two couples traveling together so the question of who gets the master bedroom was a big decision and I didn't see it mentioned by anyone else in much detail. Have no fear, the second bedroom was just as good as the first, just a little smaller and slightly less lavish. It had its own bathroom and was actually much quieter than the master, which is on the main main street, so the 2nd was easier to get good sleep in. I actually preferred the 2nd bedroom for those reasons.

Horrible experience, bad host

Our host Rossana rented out our apartment to someone else before we arrived without letting us know. We had no hot water available for showers. The host was sending maintenance people in to the apartment without notice at all times of the day. Due to the lack of hot water and lack of proper security we ended up moving to a hotel. We have small children and proper services and security is always most important to us. We would recomend avoiding this host and her properties at all cost, not woth the hassles...

Faded glory

We were excited to stay at this luxurious property in the heart of the walled city, but ultimately we were disappointed. This property is truly in the center of the action! Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of attention to detail both with respect to service ( butler provided but not especially helpful) and cleanliness. We engaged the services of the optional cook. We were told that this would cost $15 daily but on the day of departure we were asked to pay $20 per day- a reasonable charge but not as advertised. Prepared meals were acceptable. Note that the pool is small and not suitable for swimming. We were expecting a larger pool based on the photos. Views from the terrace were lovely. Location is secure.
