Lovely! Will stay here again!

This was a perfect location in the walled city. Right outside of all the hustling of the city to enjoy the peace of the neighborhood and close enough to get to all the activities within five minutes. Maria is a master cook and super sweet. Osiris was easy to talk to and address any issues. Only concern would be the stairs for those who can’t do stairs. But the stairs also provide a level of privacy with each bedroom being on an opposite floor. We loved it! The internet was spotty.

Fantastic stay

We loved our stay at Osi’s! The unit is huge and the pictures do not do it justice. The roof top deck is lovely with its hammock and ocean views and the A/C works well. We had Marie cook a few meals for us and I can highly recommend her ceviche and fish dish with coconut rice. The complex retains some of its old world charm with modern updates such as adult and children pool areas. We felt safe and enjoyed easy access around old town. You will undoubtedly love your stay and bring back fond memories of this lovely home and Cartagena.

Shenanigans in Cartagena

We had a fabulous time in Cartagena. We had a couple join us who have never been to Colombia and they fell in love with the city (and the country). We played golf, we did a day excursion to Isla Del Sol and walked and shopped and ate at some amazing restaurants. The location of your place is perfect and you can catch an Uber within minutes to anywhere you want to go. We were there for 5 days and time flew by and we didn’t even scratch the surface of things to do and places to go. We went outside of the walled city to the streets that have the umbrellas and highly recommend it. This is very safe with 24 hour security to let you in and out and Maria will take care of anything you need, cleaning/laundry etc…can’t wait to go back!

We had a wonderful stay!

We had such a wonderful time staying here. It is a very comfortable and beautiful apartment. It is very centrally-located while also not being in an extremely crowded and loud area. The rooftop terrace is beautiful. Very good air conditioning. Maria was also a wonderful cook and very attentive. Osi, the owner was also very attentive and helped us with recommendations before arriving. We will definitely stay there in the future.
