Private room with balcony & sea view just outside Old City

Looking for a quiet, relaxing beachfront place with pool, fabulous view of the Caribbean, & 11 min walk to the Old City? This is for you!

This is a 3 bedroom/3.5 bath apartment on the 15th floor of a building built in 2010. The guest bedroom offered has a queen bed, so it is perfect for one person, two very close friends, or a couple.

Your bedroom has a ceiling fan, a mini split air conditioner, night tables, reading lamps, small desk with chair, full length mirror, a private full bath with walk in closet, floor to ceiling sliding glass doors which lead out to the balcony (with black out shades for siestas) & hammock just calling your name....

The kitchen is stocked for cooking & eating and there is counter seating. The living/dining area also has a ceiling fan and a mini split air conditioner (which cools the kitchen area also). There is a small laundry area with washer/dryer, drying racks & laundry sink available for your use.

I will be staying in the apartment also and will be around during your stay. There may on occasion also be someone in the 3rd bedroom, either another AirBNBer or a visiting friend or family member. I have lived in Cartagena for over two years and would be happy to help in any way I can either via email/phone prior to your arrival or during your stay.

I partner with 'Pack for a Purpose', an organization that links travelers who'd like to help fulfill wish lists of non-profits in developing countries. I know a couple of community organizations in Cartagena who would love to have your help!
