Great place a little hard to find
Submitted: November 24, 2009
Stayed: November 2009
My friends and I stayed here for 4 nights this past week and here's what we thought:
Pros:
-Clean, newly remodeled 3 bedrooms apartment
-Security - 24hr doorman
-Maid (Carmenza was simply AMAZING!).
-Wireless internet
-US phone line to make calls for free. We also had a local line available for free.
Cons:
-Hard to find location for most (taxi's and guests). We kept having to tell drivers where to turn and initially got lost a couple of times.
-Shower water pressure is lacking
Overall, great place with a friendly owner and wonderful maid that I would stay at again.

Great Apartment in Very Good Northside Location
Submitted: January 9, 2013
Stayed: December 2012
The landlord is an excellent host--very helpful and accessible if needed. The apartment was spotless; the maid equally helpful. We were visiting family all of whom live on the north side of the city, and we could even walk to two of their apartments, as well as to a large shopping complex in the Santa Barbara neighborhood only 10 minutes away, or to a smaller parkside commercial area only 5 minutes away. The apartment is 5 minutes from the Calle 127 Transmilenio station and, with the exception of the very busy week just before Christmas, cabs are plentiful -- they arrive within 5 minutes of your call. It was an altogether excellent accommodation.

Apartment is very nice, a few very minor issues first day were quickly corrected by the owner John and the housekeeper Carmenza. The place was spotless and well equipped. John and Carmenza are incredibly accomodating. Carmenza's cooking is beyond words and she goes out of her way to make sure your stay is a pleasnt one. Neighborhood is safe and apartment is centrally located, convenient to airport and downtown. We entertained clients all week and everyone was impresseed with our accomodations. Highly recommend.

Better than a five star hotel ...
Submitted: June 24, 2011
Stayed: June 2011
We stayed there for a week with our teenage daugther and our 10 year old kid. This was our first time in Bogotá and we enjoyed it very much; the apartment contributed to this a lot.
There was no rush for taking an Hotel breakfast. You can feel as comfortable as at home. Every person has his own area, without bothering others .It was great to have a high speed internet connection, cable Tv, free international phoneccalls, and the apartment was well located, in a safe neighborhood, near shopping malls and small convenience stores.
Carmenza, the maid, is a big plus. She is a very attentive person, who took care of the household chores with joy ( a very diffcult thing to find), and she likes to cook, which was wonderful for us.
Mr. John is an excelent host, a very responsible person.
I strongly recommend this apartment. Undoubtedly I will go there again if I come back to Bogotá.

We stayed in Bogota for 6 weeks, living in 4 places. This was by far the nicest of them all! It is a few blocks from the Transmillenio (train) and walking distance to several malls. There is a small park with two basketball courts, a soccer court and plenty of play equipment for smaller children. The neighborhood is very safe, comfortable and all the shops for daily needs.
Carmenza, the maid, was amazing! She will shop for your food, cook all your meals, wash your clothes and keeps the apartment very clean.
We plan to travel back to Bogota in a year or two with all five of your teenage children and I would definitely come back to this apartment

Spacious and Comfortable
Submitted: March 28, 2011
Stayed: March 2011
We stayed here for a week in March 2011. We were really happy with our choice and were really comfortable in the apartment.
The office/comms facilities are a huge bonus and much appreciated. Also, the landlord being only a few blocks away was helpful for advice and assistance.
The only downside was that the showers needed updating. Such a nice, modern apartment deserves bathrooms to match!
We would also have appreciated a bit more upfront info about the services i.e. we were happy to provide breakfast and lunch for our maid Carmen Patricia, but we weren't made aware that this was expected (apparently it is law in Colombia!?) until 3 days into our stay which was rather embarrassing.
All in all, I would recommend and would stay here again.

Owner's Response: Dear Sharon;
Thank you very much for your fine review.
In Boogota, water is heated by¨a ¨´Calentador de paso¨
that heats it as it goes bye. Because of this, not all 3
bathrooms can be used at same time, otherwise, there
is not enought hot water for all. I am sorry about this but,
that is the system here.
Concerning breakfast and lunch for maid, that is the custom
here. I did not know about it until maid told me. Next time
I will make sure to tell guests about this.
Thank you for your business, we appreciate them very
much.

John

Awesome Bogota Apartment!!!
Submitted: March 27, 2011

We really enjoyed Bogota and this apartment was awesome!!! Every day, the maid came in and made breakfast for us and left the place spotless. She cooked sooooo good!!!. This place was centrally located with easy access to all the great places to visit. Also, the door man was always friendly and helpful. We felt safe staying there and had no problems whatsoever. You just cant beat the free internet all inclusive with the maid and doorman and cable, etc... Thank you John for everything. We would love to stay again in the near future. We totally recommend this apartment.

Undecided Where to Stay in Bogota...Read this!
Submitted: September 19, 2010
Stayed: September 2010
Three friends recently visiting Bogota decided to opt for a VRBO rental and not the traditional hotel choices. Immediately, we were made to feel very welcomed by the condo owner who explained all the ammenities. The condo was in walking distance to mass transportation, grocery stores and restaurants and the Unicentro Mall. We found it spacious, clean and well maintained and had 24 hour security. We enjoyed the use of the telephone to the States at no additional cost and the included Wi-Fi. As stated in a previous review, Carmenza was truly AMAZING!!!! I would not hesitate to reccomend this unit if you are considering a visit to Bogota. Book it now!
