This unit really isn't ideal if you're coming with a family. The unit was very dated (photos don't really reflect the state of the bathrooms and bedrooms). Secondly we were constantly seeing bugs (Ants and Large Cockroaches). The house itself was clean, but they definitely have an infestation problem for how prominent they were in the house. I think if you're in El Centro to party, you probably won't notice. But if you come with a family, you'll definitely feel frustrated.

Diego’s place was beautiful, large and exactly as described. We loved it and enjoyed both the pool in the complex and the Greco pool on our rooftop! Our adult crew cooled off in the Greco pool several times! We appreciated Bercelio’s support coordinating transportation and massages in the Airbnb. Great way to enjoy a hot afternoon. Don’t miss Casa Della Pasta Don Ignazio for a special Italian dinner.

My husband and I visit Cartagena at least once a year, often bringing friends along. This home is the ideal base for exploring the city. It’s beautifully decorated, and the hosts are incredibly responsive and helpful. The living space is perfect for relaxing with a cocktail or a good book. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which is a great feature. The water pressure and temperature are also excellent, which is not always the case in older houses due to the pipes. There’s also a lovely and private small pool on the roof. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive. After we checked out, a delivery arrived, and they graciously held it for me and even paid the delivery fee. Overall, this is a fantastic place to stay, and we’d definitely stay here again on our next trip with friends.

Diego's place was great for our family of 4. 3 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and an expansive kitchen and living room with fun decorations that made you feel like you were living at home. The host crew made us feel like home and helped with airport drop offs/pickups as well as arranging a trip for us to the national aviary. They were super responsive and helped with directions and minor questions/issues. The small pool upstairs on the roof was a great reprieve from the hot weather and our kids had fun splashing around. Would definitely recommend staying at Diego's place as a solo traveler or with a family.

Beautiful apartment, everything is very clean and tidy! Excellent downtown location, several restaurant and bar options nearby, we could walk to other tourist attractions. Everyone on the team was very helpful and responded very quickly if we had any questions, especially Marce who helped us with cleaning and breakfast. They also offered to help us find tours in the city. I hope to be back soon!

Diego, Bercelio and Marcelis. They were magnificent people. They spoiled us a lot. Marcelis and Maria's cooking was essential. We ate delicious food. Bercelio organized our transportation and everything went as we wanted!! The location of the place is amazing... everything was very close. to walk around the walled city!! We would recommend 💯

Great place - just like pictures. Lots of space in common areas and three good-sized bedrooms. A/C worked perfect (Cartagena is hot for us US-Midwest folks!). Great communication from host throughout, good tour recommendations and help with airport transport from co-host, Bercelio and great restaurant recs (for good reason!) from Diego (don't miss Carmen!). Great location - walkable to everything in center of city and Getsemani (also a can't miss visit!). The woman who comes in to clean and cook breakfast is the sweetest, most wonderful person you can imagine-in my poor Spanish, we managed to connect in our short time there and she gave us all big hugs when we left - she's worked for Diego for 9 years and is simply amazing. The bedroom with the street facing had a very little noise but my daughter still loved it - the other two were silent as can be. Small pool in complex was refreshing. Would stay here again in a heartbeat and hope to return to the city!

Amazing apartment- it has so much character and charm. Easy walking distance to everything in old town. Great restaurants on the surrounding streets. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the grotto (small private pool)on the rooftop. Marce was wonderful, and so kind. She made the most incredible coffee, eggs and arepas for us each morning. Highly recommend, and hope to return! Thanks so much for sharing your home.
