6BR Villa in Cartagena

Jose Antonio

Excellent, 10 months ago

A place with privacy in all the rooms, very comfortable and close to the Getsemani neighborhood, with all the restaurants and markets in the area. A place with people concerned about the quality of your stay and options for your needs. I would definitely come back.

Excellent hosts, they have been attentive at all times and have offered very useful additional advice and services, such as a cooking and cleaning service that we hire daily. The apartment, however, was not in the condition we expected. Upon entering, the first impression was bad, there was a lot of humidity in the rooms and it smelled a lot, then having the air conditioning solved it a little. There is also a lot of noise from the street in the living and dining room, and you can hear cars passing by. The whole apartment needs a coat of paint, because it looks worse than in the photos. The whole family stayed to attend a wedding, and no room had a closet or a clothes rack to hang our suits. The bathrooms had little lighting, making it difficult to put on makeup, and there were no outlets in the bathrooms. Finally, it should be noted that one of the rooms smelled of gas every time the hot water was used, which is very dangerous.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb. For a group of 10 of us it was perfectly accommodating. The location of the Airbnb you just absolutely can’t beat. We were within arms reach of restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs. It’s perfect because it’s on the edge of the hustle and bustle so you still get to get away from all the eventful things. The place was clean and everything we needed was provided. Anytime we had a question, the hosts got back to us in a timely manner, which I especially appreciate. Would highly recommended this Airbnb for a Cartagena stay!

We booked this place because we ended up staying an extra night in Cartagena and they were very accommodating with our check in time. The place is nice, clean, and spacious. There are lots of stairs and the stairs are high. There’s a private hot tub on the third floor terrace. We enjoyed our stay here.

I had a fantastic experience staying at Hector’s place! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Hector was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing helpful local tips and making check-in and check-out super easy. The space had everything I needed and felt like a home away from home. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We had a great stay at Hector House! The place was very clean, spacious, and well-maintained. There was plenty of room to comfortably accommodate all 7 of us. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highly recommended for larger groups or families looking for a comfortable and tidy place to stay!

A wonderful house strategically located in Getsemaní, where there are multiple restaurants nearby, nightlife and easy walking distance. The house is very comfortable and blocks out sounds from the outside very well. It has a modern design, the rooms are very comfortable, with air conditioning and a TV. The kitchen is well-equipped and has a jacuzzi in the patio. It would definitely be a good option to return. Thanks to the hosts for their kindness and availability to answer my questions.

First, the hosts are very responsive. (A special thanks to Ilse for checking in with us everyday to insure our we need nothing). The house is well maintained and is in a good location. We were able to walk to anywhere in Getsemani and the surrounding area. The host provided a list of places to eat and things to do. The house has an on-demand water heater so we always had hot water. My favorite feature of the house is the ability to have living room and/or dining room cooled. This allowed our group of six to all hangout together in a comfortable setting. I would highly recommend this house.

We had a great time with our family reunion! The hostess was kind enough to wait for us to show up and walk us through the details. Each room was enough for two people and was an easy walk to and from the center of the historic district. Coffee and other amenities were included.

The worst Airbnb I have stayed in my life. The only pros were the location and IIse Garcia did a good job welcoming us. The bedroom upstairs did not have a door no-privacy. The bathroom door knob was broke. The stairs to get into the bathroom upstairs was not stable. A total of 6 bedrooms/bathrooms in the house had no hot water and host never fix. One of the room’s toilet did not flush well. Molds all over the house which is a major health hazard. One of the guest has asthma and was constantly coughing and had a few asthma attacks. Luckily he had his inhaler. The roof in the hallway downstairs broke and had a giant whole. Plus it was rainy and the house was flooded. Three of the guests had their belongings damaged. The host was unable to fix the giant whole from the roof. It rain that night and cause the whole to get bigger. We did not feel safe and had to leave immediately. We paid a lot for this Airbnb and the host did not meet expectations.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay. When we first walked in we were amazed by how beautiful the house was. It exceeded our expectations. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi. The area is quiet and beautiful. There is a supermarket and a pharmacy walking distance from the house (if needed). One of the cohost, Ilse, was very kind, patient and responsive. We definitely recommend this house.

Excellent place to stay, with a good location, very close to the historic center around 5-10 min walk, pier, pharmacy, convivial shops. Sammir is always very attentive to our concerns. If you are looking for a group accommodation, this is a great option during your stay in Cartagena.

Loved staying at Hector’s place & would recommend it to anybody staying in Cartagena. It is not walking distance (about a 10 min ride) from the main attractions so keep in mind you will have to rely on taxis for transportation. The cook was also spectacular and extremely friendly. My friends and I absolutely loved our stay! :)

Awesome place!!! House was very clean, actually better than the pictures. We enjoyed our stay at Hector’s place. He recommended some activities and we did one of the activities. Our host helped to facilitate payment even when we had challenges changing the currency. I highly recommend. Will definitely be staying here again. Thanks Hector.

Hector and his place were excellent! I can’t say enough about how beautiful the house was. Great location in the proximity of all the fun that Cartagena has to offer. The cleaning ladies that were at the location also offered to make breakfast at the house and they did a great job! If you are planning on going to Cartagena give Hector and his crew a shot to show you and your guests a wonderful time!

Excellent attention and very comfortable house, good location, with supply centers, meals and pharmacies nearby. Quiet and central place to get around. Spacious rooms and beds. Friendly hosts and attentive to any call. We felt right at home with all the necessary amenities, recommended for large families. Nearby airport house.

Looks even better in person! Absolutely gorgeous property. Hector and his team (cleaning and private chefs) were very personable and made our stay feel like home. Hector personally greeted us when we arrived and popped in to say good bye when we left. This is the second time staying at one of his properties and needless to say I will continue to check in with him first to see if he has properties available when I am visiting Cartagena.

I enjoyed my stay here. It was a last minute booking but checking in was seamless.

Hectors home is the perfect location for a trip to Cartagena! It’s a short walk to the tourist clocktower area & you are surrounded by places to eat or grab groceries. The in person assistance is amazing, Samir showed us around the neighborhood to the currency exchange with the best rates and local supermarkets to get supplies and snacks. He also kept in contact for any and all questions and made our stay as simplistic as possible. This home is highly recommended to visit as the neighborhood is very nice and the people are very pleasant. Being a short walk away from the night life ensures that you can have peaceful sleep without disturbances. This is a home you will not regret!
