The kitchen (with Wilson pictured).

Availability

October 1, 2013. Preference given to long term commitments.

The Room, Apartment & Building

  • The room is currently unfurnished, however if needed, Wilson will buy a bed and TV.
  • Gorgeous 20th floor views from both your room and the balcony.
  • Dependable high speed Wi-Fi Internet.
  • Use of the washing machine.
  • Facilities include a pool, sauna, small gym, and security at the main entrance.
  • All visitors are announced by phone via the security desk.
  • The building includes a few small 7-11 type convenience stores with food staples, alcohol, etc. There is also a small place to get your hair and nails done.
  • Our building is called Torre del Rio (part of the “Ciudad del Rio” complex, which is all you have to tell any taxi driver to get you home).

Location

  • Ciudad del Rio is located in El Poblado, the city’s most upscale neighborhood.
  • The development includes several apartment buildings, Medellin’s Modern Art Museum, parks, a skateboard bowl, Bonuar Restaurant, several cafes, and ATM machines. There are always lots of visible security guards in the complex.
  • 10 minute walk to either the Poblado or Industriales metro stations.
  • 10 minute walk to Exito Poblado near the metro station.
  • 10 minute walk to Premium Plaza mall (Carrefour supermarket, Bodytech gym).
  • 15 minute walk to studio I use in Patio Bonito where you can take salsa lessons.
  • 20 minute walk or 5,000 COP taxi ride to Parque Lleras.
  • 20 minute walk or short bus ride to EAFIT University.

Rules

The main rule of the apartment is to have respect for the other people, and their belongings. Friends, overnight guests, girlfriends, and boyfriends are all welcome and they too should be respectful.

No hard drugs or prostitutes. If you smoke, it’s preferred you do so on the balcony.

Food

Wilson buys groceries twice a month, so if you give 50,000 COP every two weeks then you can enjoy some of his famous Colombian cooking. Seriously, if it weren’t for his cooking, I’d be living on cereal.

Rent

600,000 COP per month, with a minimum stay of 1 month required. This is roughly $310 (USD).

Rent includes all utilities (broadband Wi-Fi Internet, electric, gas, water, cable TV, local phone).  It is due on the 1st of each month.

  • This is very well put together and very detailed.I have heard wonderful things about this city.I will pass this along to some of my friends who are looking to spend some time in this area.Thanks for a good job!

  • Long-time resident of Medallo here. I've lived in a lot of places and this looks very nice. The location is good (if a little lower on the mountain than I prefer) and this looks like a great deal. Judging by the infiormation available here, this seems like a nice place to live.

    • Hey George, while the apartments higher up the mountains have better views, I liked that this location was an easy 5-10 minute walk to the metro. No going up and down hills to get there.

  • Hey, my name is Dale and I am very much interested in this apartment. Please e-mail me back as the e-mail given on this posting does not seem to be working.

    -Dale

    • sorry Dale but I messed up the email, it's [redacted]. If you want, you can also contact me, Troy, at [redacted] if you do not speak any Spanish. Look forward to hearing from you.

  • I will be in Medellin August 15th and looking for a clean room. I am neat, no drugs, steady income, and easy to get along with. Please let me know of any leads, thanks guys

  • Hi was looking for a room from next week around the 7th April for a minimum of 2 months depending on visas more probably.. Is the room still available, would only need a bed wouldn't require tv. Thanks Andy

    • As I mentioned, one of the rooms is no longer available, but mine (with a double bed) is available as of April 25.

  • Looks like a nice apartment, but a little small. How many square meters is the whole unit?

  • Hi Dave - we met last week briefly at a sushi place! I'm looking for a place at the moment, would we be able to talk about this? Cheers, Andrew
