I will be staying here for part of my time in Barranquilla.
(North of Barranquilla, around the corner from Hotel El Prado, and across the street from my favorite eating place in B/Q, Pizza Loca)

Default Re: Barranquilla Apartments---alvaro jesus apartments

I wrote these guys. The prices are reasonable and the website looks great, BUT they want me to sent a 50% deposit by western union and do not accept credit cards. I wrote back asking if i could wire the money to their bank account--that way i have a record---and received no reply.

Is the management trustable?????

Hi All,

I just stayed at this apartment two weeks ago. I had a great time, and all my guest enjoyed the apartment, also.

Hi Miami Bob,

I just noticed the wireless internet last trip. I didn't use it since I didn't bring my laptop, so I do not know about speed.

In the past I did use a credit card to pay, and there was a surcharge. Recently, the apartment requested 1/2 payment using Western Union as a down payment, and when I arrived to pay the remainder with cash. I would suggest only talking with the owner when sending money through Western Union.

To be honest I never had a problem with the mattresses, but I can sleep on almost anything.

Remember this apartment is managed by Colombians using their standards.

The apartment staff are very nice. On my last trip my father came, also. One day I came back to the apartment to find the lady in charge of all the staff hand squeezing oranges to make juice for my dad. Amazing!!!!!!!

Tim
