The most fantastic experience I have ever had so far.
The hosts are lovely, welcoming people that make you feel like being home instantly. They are originally from Cartagena so they give you the best advise on sightseeing, restaurants, tours in and around the city and services (like taxi prices etc.). Once I got quite sick and hosts helped me a lot - highly appreciated that, especially since I was travelling alone. Loved the surprise breakfast with homemade arepas and bbq party - was a fantastic and authentic experience.
Location is perfect: 10 min away from the city center, quiet and very save, right on the promenade with a beautiful sunset view on bocagrande. Great place for jogging and doing sports. 2 min away from supermarket and a few restaurants/bakery.
The house is old and authentic with spacious rooms and other common facilities. Additional services like laundry service can be rendered. Sparkling clean:)

If anyone wants to enjoy a trip to Cartagena, the Mansion Bahia Manga should be...

Nobody there. Looked like deserted. We tried the door bell for minutes and tried to reach Ricardo via phone and wa no reaction. Very poor and bad experience. Don’t fall for the charming pictures in booking and the attractive rates compared to others. Over 2 hours later the host send a message “Hola Que pena. Que paso?” It seems that he doesn’t live onsite and doesn’t have a glue what happens at...
