The location of the villa is a GEM! The villa is gorgeous and as described. The staff at the villa is amazing, Carlos is amazing! Nothing was too much of an ask; they made it all happen. Great villa for large groups; families and friends. Not recommended if you have toddlers or people who have trouble with stairs. Will 100% rent again!

The place is perfect for a large group, very safe area, Mariana who helps with the cleaning and cooking always had everything ready for when we asked for it, super efficient, Farid the night watchman was also always attentive to our arrival and did not allow strangers to enter without our consent and finally Wilmer who they mention as the house butler is a gem of a person, friendly, attentive, simple and extremely reliable, we hope to return soon

We had a wonderful family vacation at Mark’s place. He was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Mario made us feel safe and right at home, catering to our every need. Candie, the cook, prepared delicious meals daily and went above and beyond to accommodate our special requests, including local breakfast favorites. She also ensured our rooms were cleaned daily and always greeted us with a smile. The neighborhood is lively and vibrant, with easy access to numerous local bars and restaurants, all within walking distance of the Walled City. Highly recommend!

Mark was great and very responsive to any request. The location is probably the best in the walls as far as views, closeness to shopping and restaurants. The house was great but I must mention and give Victoria her due. She was so awesome. She cooked breakfast and dinner for us. She kept the house very clean. She is the most awesome cook. I don’t have the enough words to describe her. She made our stay more than 5 star. We plan on visiting often and I will continue to request this Airbnb everytime I’m in Cartagena. 10 stars!!!!!!

Wow — Sebastian Villa is absolutely amazing! 🌴 The location couldn’t be better — just minutes away from fantastic restaurants, bars, and cafés. The pool is crystal clear, and the water temperature is perfect for a relaxing swim any time of day. The villa’s maid is a gem — super helpful and an incredible cook! Plus, having a friendly security guard from 7 PM to 5 AM made us feel completely safe and at ease. Mark and Rafael were outstanding hosts — so friendly, quick to respond, and truly went above and beyond to make our stay special. Thank you for an unforgettable experience — we can’t wait to come back!

This home in Cartagena was absolutely beautiful! The property is spacious, well maintained, and has a private pool that made our stay extra special. Having daily maid service was a wonderful bonus everything was always clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the host made check-in and communication very easy.

This was an ideal spot for a birthday trip with my friends and family! Location was great - close to everything but not so crowded or loud that we couldn’t relax. The staff was amazing and welcoming and willing to help with anything. We had an amazing time and Mark had great recommendations for where to go and tour coordinators.

The property has been renovated recently and is great for a big group. Each of the 11 rooms has a private bath and the beds were comfortable. The staff Bryan, Marcela and Olga were absolutely excellent - with meals and grocery/supply runs as needed - and tidying and keeping common spaces pristine. The rooftop is a lovely gathering space and offers an option when different groups want their own space.

This place was PERFECT. We were a group of 8 friends from all over the world, and this villa was the perfect place for us and it was also located right in the middle of everything. The maids were also awesome, notable Rose and Fabiana. The security guys were also very attentive. Whenever we visit Cartagena again, this will be the place to go to !

Mark’s place was great. He really helped us out when our first place did not have electricity. The place was very secure and very spacious. Brian was onsite and he was very helpful with making sure our crew was well taken care of. Would stay there again.

Catalina
Excellent, 1 year ago
Our original reservation was unfortunately canceled last minute due to unexpected electricity issues, but Mark went above and beyond to quickly accommodate us at another one of his properties. While it wasn’t the beachfront location we had originally booked, the home he offered was absolutely beautiful. Check-in was smooth and easy, and the property itself was in a fantastic location—close to great restaurants and nightlife. A special mention to Cande, whose cooking was absolutely delicious, and to Mario, who was incredibly helpful and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Overall, it turned out to be a wonderful experience and we truly appreciated the hospitality. Look forward to booking again.

Angel

Here’s a polished version of your review that flows naturally, keeps the enthusiastic tone, and emphasizes the highlights clearly: ⸻ It was amazing to stay at this house. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable — cooking, cleaning, and making sure we felt completely at home. While we had visited Cartagena before and were always hesitant to choose an Airbnb over a hotel because we enjoy hotel amenities, this time we decided to do something different, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. The staff (jairo & Iris) i is the real highlight: Iris who cooks delicious meals and does laundry, the gentleman who handles your luggage and brings drinks throughout the day, and the security at night — all of it comes together seamlessly. Add to that the beauty of the house itself and its perfect central location, and the stay becomes exceptional. I will definitely be coming back soon to Mark’s place. Highly recommended! ⸻ Do you want me to make this sound a bit more formal and

Vittorio
Excellent, 1 year ago
We had an unforgettable stay at this property. The host was always available and very quick to respond, making the organization simple and carefree. The location is perfect, a stone's throw from bars, clubs and restaurants. The house is huge and well-structured: with 11 bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, it is ideal for large groups. It is also very safe, a feature that we appreciated very much. The real added value, however, are Bryan and Olga: respectively butler and cook/maid, they made our stay special. Always present, available and kind, they made us feel at home, if not better. A truly perfect experience. I will definitely come back and recommend this home to anyone who wants to experience a unique and carefree vacation

Mark’s place is absolutely gorgeous. The view from the balcony as well as the terrace is incredible. The home is as beautiful as it looks in pics. Mark provided excellent recommendations for eating/activities/nightlife and he was very accommodating. We rented the home to meet with employees from Colombia and El Salvador; they were very impressed with the home. Thank you, Mark! 🙏🏼🙌🏼

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Experience – Felt Right at Home! Our stay at this Airbnb in Cartagena exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family. Manuela, who helped take care of the apartment during our stay, was absolutely wonderful. She provided top-notch service—washing and ironing our clothes, preparing delicious home-cooked meals, including fresh juice, fruit, and even dinner. Every morning felt like waking up in a boutique hotel. The apartment itself was spotless, with clean and comfortable rooms that made it easy to relax. The security team also went above and beyond—escorting us when needed, recommending amazing spots to eat and explore, and assisting with anything we asked for, even grocery runs! We felt completely safe and taken care of. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Cartagena who wants a first-class local experience with exceptional hospitality.

Lynda

This house gave us the space we needed to be together for one night before our retreat. The hosts were kind and always available to help. It’s a large home, but it requires maintenance. Some rooms were nicer than others, and most bathrooms didn’t have soap or shampoo. The pool area was overcrowded with furniture that couldn’t be used, and there was a strong smell of humidity throughout the house. It doesn’t feel like a hotel, and the photos don’t fully match the current condition. Still, if your expectations are simple and you just need a place to sleep and gather with a group, it can work for that.

Mark's property is the perfect place to stay in Cartagena! It is centrally located, allowing for easy access around Getsemani and the surrounding areas, as well as a mid point between the airport and the south of Bocagrande! The hospitality of the staff and security really elevates the experience you will have and the place itself is a well laid out, spacious and extremely comfortable spot! I highly recommend this property or any property Mark manages, as he made the process smooth and seamless!

The house was perfect! Each guest had their own room and bathroom, which made the stay super comfortable. The host was incredibly responsive, and the on-site staff was equally helpful—everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The pool was absolutely incredible! This place is ideal for a big group or a family with kids. Everyone had their own private space, yet there was plenty of room for us to gather and enjoy time together. Highly recommend!
