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.

Epic views

I stayed at this property in December during the COVID. But it did not matter because it’s wonderful just hanging out at the property. I enjoyed the variety of birds from the pool and drinking beer. Jorge was awesome and became a friend. He will grocery shop for you and he made us breakfast everyday. The location of this property is unbeatable. I highly recommend this property

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!!

Short Stay

Leaks in multiple places in the ceilings. They used Varnish on the door before we arrived, and the smell was overwhelming. Had to check out and get a hotel. Property manager came over right away and helped us adjust the stay. Very nice people and sad it didn't work out.

Great overall

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

Wanted to Love this Property But . . .

This property looked amazing from the pictures and the location is just perfect. HOWEVER, we expect a functioning INDOOR kitchen (particularly at the price we were paying for this property!). The kitchen is not closed in -- it is outside exposed to the elements on a balcony area. That would not be horrible but for the fact that just over the ledge of the balcony is a bank of industrial sized commercial air conditioning units to cool the building. Regardless of the outdoor temperature, day or night, the balcony and kitchen were as hot as a furnace. We never used the "kitchen" except to put drinks in the refrigerator. It was unbearable to be in the space due to the heat. So, we functionally did not have a kitchen. Hence, I would NEVER recommend this property. Lots of stairs to get to the unit and then internally within the unit -- so not for anyone with mobility challenges. The jaccuzi had no heat -- it was just a tub of water (and there is no pool, as advertised in the listing). The property is spacious inside and very nicely decorated, and you cannot beat the location -- it is perfectly located in the most desirable area. The rooftop view is stunning. I have been using VRBOs for many years all over the world, yet I have never had an experience like this before -- property attributes which were outstanding (location) and really bad (kitchen situation) all rolled up into one experience. Communication and coordination with the hosts (property managers) was challenging.

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!

A wonderfully large, comfortable apartment, well appointed and equipped. Beds were very comfortable, air conditioning was excellent, and absolutely essential. Easy walking access to all the wonderful restaurants and great shopping in Centro Cartagena. I would return…

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

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...

Loved it!

My wife is from Cartagena so we know the city very well. We have stayed in a lot of nice places and this was certainly one of our favorites. The location is perfect and the property is very comfortable and kept spotless by the wonderful housekeeper and cook Ada. She was so pleasant and prepared a delicious breakfast and lunch every day. Cleaning and cooking staff are often available but she was exceptional and deserves 5+stars.

Spectacular property

This is such an amazing place! The views are the best in all of Cartagena, and the apartment is magical! Rossana is such a wonderful host, very attentive, answered all of our questions and was very accessible throughout our stay. The place is as just amazing as in pictures, and even so much more. We loved signora Ada, who was so kind to us and our son, and made us daily breakfast. Enjoying a mojito at night while sitting on the balcony taking the sights and sounds of Cartagena in - we can't wait to be back!

Amazing home with an even better host!

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!

A month in Cartagena

My girlfriend and I rented the apartment for the month of February to escape the cold of the Northeast US. We booked the apartment through Greg Hills and were met by Jorge upon arrival. Several days after our arrival we were notified by Rosanna that the apartment had sold and that Jorge would be tying up loose ends over the next few days. Jorge was replaced by Anna, but unlike Jorge who lived in the apartment with you, Anna arrived each morning and went home at the end of the work day. While we were originally very concerned about the change, it ended up working to our benefit. Jorges room was attached to the kitchen and we felt like we were disturbing him each time we went to fix a snack or meal. Anna arrived each morning to prepare coffee and breakfast. Both she and Jorge are fabulous cooks. The remainder of the day Anna would clean, change linens, etc.. Rosanna and her team were continuously upgrading the amenities while we were there adding new sheets, towels and toiletries. She also upgraded the kitchen with new dishes, air fryer, knives, waffle/panini press, etc. Rosanna also filled in for Jorge by scheduling covid tests, taking us to buy jewelry, scheduling excursions., etc. Rosanna works for a company that owns a hotel and another unit in the building. I believe they may have other properties. They are very experienced. The apartment itself is exactly as the pictures show. It is the lively part of town right next to all the major attractions. The Cathedral, San Pedro Claver Church, the Clock Tower, and port were all within a few minutes walk at most. There are shops, restaurants and street vendors right outside of the front door. The only downside was the new owners were upgrading, painting, deep cleaning while we were there. Some of it was appreciated but some of it was a bit inconvenient. We did not have outside seat cushions for about a week as they were sent off to be cleaned. We asked for the painting to stop on one occasion b/c of the fumes. I have no doubt Rosanna and her team will have the place looking great in short order and most of the interruptions we experienced will end.
