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.
APARTMENT AMENITIES:

* Washer with laundry soap

* Refrigerator/freezer

* Self-serve/self-make continental breakfast (coffee, toast, cereal, eggs...); that's right, free breakfast
* Back up water & electrical systems (there are often water & electrical outages in Cartagena; this building has back ups for both which not all Cartagena buildings have--AC will not work when on back up generator but fans, fridge, lights, etc, will)
* Balcony going the length of the apartment
* Hammock just outside your room
* Hair dryer
* Iron/ironing board
* Bed linens

*24 hour doorman
* Elevator
* Pharmacy with mini-mart on ground floor (grocery store within a 5 minute walk)
* Helicopter landing pad on the roof (seriously! Let me know if you'll be arriving by chopper :)
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!

The hosts took the time to best showcase their accommodation. Their home is now ready for your stay and they look forward to welcoming you as their first misterb&b guest!I love Cartagena's Old Walled City, but I also love a modern building by the beach with a pool -- this building is an 11 minute (per Goo gle) walk or a US$2-3 taxi ride to/from the Old Walled City, so is the best of both worlds. It's located in the Cabrero section which is quiet & residential. The historic Rafael Nuñez House and Apollo Park with chapel is a short walk away (on the way to the Old City). The beach is across the street.
There is a pharmacy/mini-mart on the building's ground floor, another mini-mart/fast food place around the corner, a larger grocery store about a 5 minute walk away, and a cute taco place just behind the building. There are a handful of other restaurants/small shops also nearby.
The magical Old City itself is steps away -- you'll love wandering the maze of quaint streets with their colonial architecture, shops, restaurants, museums & little plazas.
The apartment is a 5-10 minute/COP$13,000 (~US$4-5) taxi ride from the airport, a less than 5 minute/COP$7,000 (~US$2.50) taxi ride in to the Old City, a 5-10 minute/COP$8,000 (~US$3) taxi ride away from other sites/areas, such as San Felipe Castle (the huge old Spanish fort) or the tourist dock (for the boats to the Rosario Islands, where many prefer to go for the beach), or the beaches of Bocagrande, Laguito and Castillogrande. Taxis are regularly available.
Walking during the day is also a great option (it's about 10 minutes to the Old City), but I advise bringing a hat and an umbrella to ward off the equatorial sun! Taxis are advised at night.
