Nice place and nice neighborhood. We stayed for two nights with our 4 and 6 year-old children, who also had a great time. If you travel with young ones then help them with the stairs, as there are no rails.

Great location! So easy to get to the museum's and other points. The shower has very hot water and GREAT water pressure!!

The apartament is in the heart of Candelária, walking distance to a lot of Bogota's main attractions such as Botero and Gold museums. It is also exactly as you see in the pictures, very cozy, clean, charming and the fireplace is a must! The only point of attention of the apartament is the noise at night in the street and the bar in the main floor of the building for those who are sensitive to sleep.

Johanna warmly welcomed us in the apartment. The latter is very well situated in the Candelaria. The neighbourhood is historical and very lively as mentioned in the ad. We would come back here for our next journey to Bogotà.

An excellent apartment located perfectly in La Candelaria. Met Johanna who was a perfect host, friendly and informative. Highly recommended.

The apartment is awesome, so beautiful and well equipped, with a complete kitchen and a good washer for your laundry. Great location, with a Oxxo opened 24/7 just a few steps down the street and lots of museums, stores and restaurants nearby. The host is very friendly and helpfull. I recommend this place!

We had a lovely stay in la candeleria at Benoit and Johannas place. It was perfectly located and had everything we needed for our stay. They were especially helpful when we needed to check in much earlier than listed.

Great location!

You definitely can't beat the location of this home. It is very rustic considering the age of the home. The housekeeper was very accommodating.

Beautiful historic home in a perfect location. Clean, spacious and lovely, this is a fantastic place to stay. Carmen Cecilia was an incredibly hospitable and wonderful host. She provided us with lots of great ideas of things to do, visit and eat in Bogota. Carmen Cecilia also helped us organize a ride from the airport to the Airbnb which was very helpful. We had a great stay in Bogota thanks to Carmen Cecilia!

We had a great time staying at this apartment in Bogota. It is in a beautiful old building, it's very spacious and the location could not be better. Carmen, the host, was very welcoming and assisted us with restaurants, museums etc. I would highly recommend staying here.

This place was a perfect fit for us! It is in an excellent location to explore the Candelaria area. It is a lovely old house with a lot of character. It was fine for us but the maid told us it was 450 years old and I believe it! Everything went very smoothly, the maids were very nice and took good care of us. My only complaint is that the shower was pretty bad, but still usable.

Carmen's apartment is perfectly located in La Candelaria, Bogotá. Seriously, book this place. It can be cold at night, but she has a working fireplace and a space heater to warm you up. She is also very accommodating and helpful. We loved our stay. Bogotá is such fun! I was traveling with one other person. There's one bed and one pullout couch mattress.

Lovely authentic rustic comfortable taste of Colombia in a fantastic location for exploring the city

Great place. Wouldn't use the fireplace, though — used it on the first night and the whole house smelled like a bonfire afterward.

Lovely apartment in a beautiful old building. We stayed just for a few nights but had a wonderful time. Great location for discovering the historic part of the city. Carmen and her assistants were all incredibly kind and helpful, our thanks to them all.

The appartment was awsome and had everything we needed. It's location is great and there are many sites and restaurants nearby. We absolutely loved the decor and wished we were able to stay longer. José was there to guve us a warm welcome and to say good bye at checkout. He was very nice, easy to reach and had a lot of helpful tips. We will be coming back for sure!

Wonderful little apartment in superb area of Bogotá. Carefully decorated, safe, very clean. Nice stereo system available. There was no fridge in the kitchen but that was fine for me :)

Departamento super ubicado. A unas cuadras de todo lo que hay que ver en la candelaria. Recomendado.

excellent host, everything good, thanks for your stay!

Rolo was very responsive and helpful. His sister was great too! Great location for exploring and spacious apartment. The only negative is what others have mentioned about no heat or hot water.

Great location, clean, and good communication with owner. Water went out for a night (not his fault) and power (and internet of course) went out the next day for a few hours in the morning. A good value and a great central location

Funky apartment in the "Downtown of the old town". Excellent location to walk to all the sites of Bogota. This apartment supplies all the necessities for a comfortable stay & more e.g. Iron/ironing board, hand/shower gels, aromatic oils & of course excellent ground coffee, "remember we are in Colombia". Communication was prompt & assistance was given when needed. When next in Bogota we can recommend you stay at this Airbnb.

Rolo's place is located perfectly in the center of historic Candelaria, close to Monserrate, great restaurants and cafes, and a few museums. Rolo arranged a private car to pick us up from the airport and take us on special day trips. He also provided valuable suggestions for things to do and was very helpful when we had questions. I would recommend this spot to anyone traveling in groups or anyone who would like a private apartment while visiting Bogotá. We loved this apartment, Candelaria, and Colombia!

Rolo is amazing! He made sure I had proper transportation from the airport and that all of our needs were met. Greeted me with a smile upon arrival to the apartment and welcomed me and a fellow friend into his home. The place is absolutely gorgeous and located perfectly in the city. Rolo provided great tips (and a little whiteboard) on where to explore in the city, which we loved. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This was a great apartment in a perfect location. Lively energetic area with lots of student life and activity going on. We walked everywhere and felt safe doing so. Very close to all the major attractions in Bogota and if we couldn't walk, we took Uber for about $2-3. Rolo was an absolute gem! He was waiting for us when we arrived, walked us through the entire apartment and gave us lots of valuable information. He was very kind, informative and charming. He immediately responded whenever we contacted him regardless of the nature of the question, and was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had a late flight out and Rolo generously let us hang out until evening. The apartment itself is very charming and rustic, with two separate bedrooms each with it's own full bathroom. There is a nicely stocked kitchen and a sitting area. It was very clean and comfortable. Couldn't have asked for anything more. It was a real pleasure to deal with Rolo.

Rolo turned out to be an extremely nice and helpfull host. Although he doesn't live at the appartment himself he was always available for questions through (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). The appartment was spacious, clean and very well located. The only downside was the lack of windows maybe but hey we didn't come to Colombia to stay inside. Thanks Rolo for your hospitality, we'll surely visit again!

The apartment is located very central and close to lots of museums and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and Francisco was super friendly and welcoming. Little minus might be the rather old building, thus the apartment. Nevertheless I highly recommend this place.

Francesco and Gloria had been wonderful hosts. They welcomed us personally and gave us lots of good informations. They had been very helpful and even arranged for a taxi at 5 a. m. to bring us to the airport. The flat is situated very central, close to the old historic center and the museo d'oro. If coming back to Bogota we definately would stay there again.

I went for a conference in Bogota's center, and this was a very convenient place to stay. Few blocks away from all the government buildings and carrera 7, the main street, now a pedestrian zone. It is also very near the Los Andes University. Francisco and Gloria were very kind and forthcoming. I was their first guest, so there were a few a minor details, which they solved immediately. The apartment was cozy and clean, just the right size for me. Overall I think this was very good value for the price.

I would highly recommend Francisco and Gloria's flat. From the first moment Francisco went to every length make us feel welcome. The flat itself is in a great location and manages to feel homely and modern.

The apartment is very nice and cozy. Francisco goes out of his way to provide for his guests. The beds and sofa bed are very comfortable. The place is very secure with security & reception 24/7. You have everything you need in this apartment. What more can you ask for?

El apartamento limpio, ordenado y confortable El dueño muy cortés y buen anfitrión

A estadia no apartamento da Gloria e do Francisco em Bogotá foi ótima! Eles nos receberam com muita simpatia e dedicação, e o apartamento é bem localizado e confortável! Com certeza voltaríamos!

Altamente recomendable hospedarse en este lugar. La ubicación es perfecta para conocer lo más representativo de Bogotá. Puedes llegar caminando a muchos lugares de interés como los museos de Botero, del Oro, el teleférico para subir al santuario Monserrate, la zona de la Candelaria. Accesible para tomar Taxi, Uber o incluso el transmilenio. El edificio es muy seguro, instalaciones limpias y cómodas y lo más importante, Francisco y Gloria son magníficos hosts, amables y preocupados en todo momento por hacer de tu estancia lo más confortable y segura. El lugar es perfecto para 2 personas. Exceptional place to stay. Walking distance to museums, Monteserrato, Candelaria Neighborhood. The building is pretty safe. Facilities in pretty good conditions. Accesible to several modes of transportation such Uber, taxi, transmilenio. Supermarkets nearby, souvenir stores. I really recommend this place. The hosts are the best part of the place, friendly and caring. They are always available to help you out with anything you might need. Tumbs up to this place. Perfect to fit 2 people.

Great place, ideally located, would come back

Marsell is super communicative, friendly, and always responded to me quickly whenever I had a question or problem. The only negative aspect of our stay was the bathroom - it's not very well ventilated, really dark without a light in the shower, and the water temperature was so inconsistent that we could never get a hot shower going. But overall, this apartment is really special and located in a great area. The view is worth it! :)

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Marsèll was a fabulous host! The place is even more charming in real life and they had prepared recommendations and guides which helped us a lot. Having a hot water heater is very rare in Colombia (at least where we stayed) so this was a nice luxury!!

Marsèll's charming apartment is everything described and more. It is located right where travelers want to be: in the historic center, close to cafes, restaurants, bars, museums and plazas. After traveling all over Colombia this space takes the cake for location, uniqueness and coziness. The vista from the terrace is stunning and the apartment is stocked with everything you need. To top it off, The host was incredibly sweet, helpful and quick to respond. Look no further--book this space!

I found Marsell and her mother to be great hostesses. They answered all the questions I had about the area and had good recommendations for transportation to my work on the last day. They were accessible by email and phone, after our initial greeting, for anything that came up. I look forward to my next visit and intend to come back again.

A beautiful apartment in a great part of Bogota. It has an inspiring view from the windows. It's also close (short walking distance) to the major museums and central square. Highly recommended.

Beautiful view and great fire place

Awesome apartment tucked away but still in a very accessible part of the city. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Great host, she met us on the street and showed us the way in, and had breakfast for us the next morning. Definitely would recommend staying here!

Their space is amazing and they are amazing hosts. I really can't recommend it enough. The architecture, courtyards, and apartment itself are beautiful. Thank you so much!

This is an awesome little apartment that is located within walking distance of most of Bogotas museums and a 12.000 COP taxi ride from Monserrate. There is a lot to see just within a few blocks of the apartment and some bars located just a street or two away. There are a few idiosyncrasies of the apartment that you'll notice. Water from the shower spills into the bathroom floor, the bathroom doorknob packs a surprisingly painful static electric shock occasionally, and a couple things here and there were broken, but noting too major and nothing to warrant giving this apartment 5 stars.

Maria was very helpful, immediately after booking she contacted me with details on how to enter the apartment. I arrived quite late but had no troubles at all. The location is great, very central and being on the 9th floor the street noise isn't a problem. Maybe not the safest area very late at night though so just need to be mindful of that. The apartment was cosy and clean, comfy bed, great wifi and Maria leaves some fresh fruit, coffee and tea which is nice. Especially if you are travelling as a couple the price is very reasonable, overall I had a great experience here. Thanks Maria!

Great location. Amazing host! I highly recommend this place :)))

Great location. Great host.

Well located Very nice place A little noisy and a lot of light I liked it

María is a great host! My friend and I stayed in María's apt for a short trip we had in Bogotá. She is easily to communicate with, friendly and helpful with all of our questions. The apt has all your standard needs and is comfortable! The view is great and the space is clean!

Maria is super sweet, helpful, and available. The place is small, but great for a studio. It's in the heart of la candeleria which is wonderful & the employees at the building (the door guys) are all awesome! Friendly & helpful!

We have stayed at Marias apartment for the second time. We still love the location and the apartment. Shower was fixed and we also had at late check out which was perfect for the long way back home. Thank you for everything :)

David's place was great for our stay in Bogota. It's perfectly located for exploring the historic La Candelaria district, and surprisingly quiet for how central it is. David was great to work with and met us on our arrival. The only downside is that the water heater is electric, so the shower water stays fairly cold. He warned us about that in advance, but it's still worth noting, given that Bogota weather isn't particularly warm.

Upsides- David is a super-nice guy that will give you advice on anything. He helped get me in contact with a Spanish teacher, and even let me pick which apartment I wanted to be in (for the same price). Also, the Internet & WiFi have been updated as of May 2015, so no connection problems. Downsides- David is upfront that there is no hot water to shower with (only "warm", as he says). I wanted to press coffee, but every each & every pot had a thin layer of grease. The apartment I chose didn't have towels, so make sure he gives you that before you check in. I've stayed in Bogota before (Chapinero district), but wanted the true "La Candeleria experience". Generally, I didn't care for it. If you like updated rooms and modern creature comforts (typical American, I guess)- stay somewhere north of La Candeleria.

The host calls his apartment the "Real Candelaria" and it is! The host and his onsite manager both speak English fluently. Communications with and from them was great. They respond immediately to any concerns, questions or needs. The apartment is rather small. The bathroom and kitchen especially so. It takes a couple of days to figure out a working routine and what is possible in the apartment especially when it comes to cooking. The apartment is reasonably equipped for two people, three or four at a push. The furnishings are basic and a bit tired and dated. However, the owner may have equipped it to give it a true living in "la Canadelaria" / Colombia feeling. If so, he achieves that. Oh, the hot water for the shower is supplied by a heater attached to the shower head. To get a reasonable amount of hot water turn every other electrical object in the apartment off when you have your shower. This apartment is on a hill and mine was on the third floor which proved challenging as I have a heart condition. The area is very secure as there are armed soldiers on the corners one and two blocks down and there is a heavy police presence in the area due to the Colombian government buildings a few blocks away as well as La Candelaria being a tourist area. After you check in take a good walk around the area to discover you are in the real Candelaria. There are plenty of restaurants, theatres, points of interest and small stores around. The restaurants are fine but tend to be expensive for what they are. Also, the restaurants have a tendency to undercook food. There is a small bakery and an Italian style restaurant outside the door of the apartment building. There is a Juan Valdez just 30 seconds walk away from the apartment building as well as three small tiendas. If you have the time go and explore Montserrat a short taxi ride away. Taxi to airport 20 - 25 K COP. Taxi to Zona Rosa (Andino mall) 15 - 25 K COP, As with most of Colombia area shuts down and goes quiet at about 10 pm. I enjoyed my stay in the apartment as did my guests, Yes, rent this apartment and live like a local (I have lived in Colombia for more than half of each year since 2010 so I know a little about it). I recommend for young, fit middle aged and mature that can adapt to the cramped quarters and can cook on two gas rings (no oven)(URL HIDDEN)

I stayed at the apartment for two nights and totally loved it! Great location - museums, restaurants and supermarkets are within walking distance. The building is cool and the apartment is nice and cozy. The staff there are very welcoming and helpful. Sergio is great! He is alway there to help. I'm happy that I chose the apartment!

Great location and very friendly hosts. My fiancee and I had a wonderful time in this small apartment. It was a pleasure talking to Sergio. He was helpful and very prompt. Next time we find ourselves in Bogota we would stay again.

Although we never physically meet Sergio David everything worked out very well. The apartment was fine, but be prepared for a cool shower or a drizzle of hot water. The apartment is a block away from the Botero Museum and many other attractions including an excellent book store, many bars and restaurants. I would stay there again.

Very charming location. Great for one person or a close couple. Lots of excellent restaurants and bars nearby. I had an awesome time.

David was very helpful and did everything he could to help my stay in Bogota. His apartment is located in the heart of La Candelaria and a very safe complex. David was very responsive and had great recommendations!

Fantastic! The happiest, artiest, most dynamic and fun place to stay. We were included in outings with the other guests and permanent residents and this added to the authenticity of the experience of Bogota. Everything is accurately portrayed. The house is five minutes to everything: great restaurants, museums, stores transportation. The beds and bedding was very comfortable. Floers in vases in every room. A terrace to hang clothes or sit and relax. So much space. Very clean. We felt welcomed and at home. Great value. Doris communicated instantly and showed concern for our comfort and assisted with transportation arrangements. Beautiful, historic area.

Excellent value, super lovely dri3ndky people. Great location with lots of sights and good places to eat nearby

If you are looking for a good-priced room that has style and close proximity to Candelaria sites, this is a great option.

Excelente ubicación y un trato muy amable en todo momento, ampliamente recomendado.

Todo perfecto, gracias Doris!

La estancia en Casa Agonía y la hospitalidad de Doris fueron excelentes. Nos sentimos muy cómodos en la habitación y los servicios todos funcionales. El ambiente, el arte y las actividades de la casa fueron un plus súper lindos para nosotros. Esperamos volver en algún momento. Gracias a Doris y su hija.

Excelente ubicación y el trato muy calido por parte de Doris y su linda familia. Recomiendo ampliamente.

La casa es tal cual la describen, no tuvimos sorpresas ni inconvenientes. El barrio es central y hay muchos restaurantes y actividades por hacer cerca. Nos gusto la estadía, nos sentimos cómodos.

What a fantastic place! The apartment is cozy, comfortable, and clean. The pictures don't do it justice, what a neat space! The Candelaria neighborhood was super cool to walk around and check out, and the apartment was very homey. There was even a dish of typical Colombian candy, so nice! Christian was just lovely - super helpful, gave me great suggestions, and also his English is wonderful. I was working while I was there, so I can attest to the wifi connection being great, as well. I was sorry I could only stay one night, but I'm already planning another stay in September with a couple of friends. Gracias, Christian!

¡Gran experiencia! La ubicación es muy buena: está cerca de una estación de Transmilenio (lo que te conecta con toda la ciudad) y en una zona que te permite caminar a todos los atractivos turísticos y culturales del centro histórico. El lugar es muy lindo: a la entrada hay un pequeño patio que hace la llegada sumamente acogedora. El apartamento tiene techos altos (lo que lo hace sentir todavía más espacioso) y entra mucha luz. (¡Puntos por la decoración!) El anfitrión fue sumamente amable: llegamos tarde por la noche pero él estuvo pendiente de todo. (¡Además es muy amistoso y nos hizo muy buenas recomendaciones!) Definitivamente recomendaría este lugar.

Un espacio acogedor, bien ubicado, cerca de los magníficos museos de Bogotá, de varios restaurantes, teatros y sitios inesperados del centro de la ciudad. Muy recomendable, para nosotros fue una estadía inolvidable.

The apartment was exactly as described and we felt very welcome. All in all a very pleasant stay.

David is a charming host who could not have been more welcoming. Their apartment is in a great location for taking a few days to explore Candelaria which is a must in Bogota.

We absolutely Loved staying at David's place! He welcomed us in the best way, we got to chat a lot. He is such a great host, super helpful and generous! The apartment is gooorgeous and spotless! The room is super comfy and clean. Same with the bathroom: clean, bright and spacious! Added bonus: the terrace upstairs! You have direct access! Honestly: 10/10! We would come back without hesitation! The neighbourhood is safe and you're close to everything! Highly recommend it. Merci pour tout David! Super expérience :).

Great location, and most of all great roof top view of the city and Monserrate. David and his wife were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend his place to anyone interested in exploring la candelaria!

Apartment was perfect!! So safe and right in the middle of where you want to be. David was away but his wife was super lovely and gave us some recommendations of cafes and restaurants nearby (in Spanish). Did the 3 hour bike tour leaving from a few doors down the road which was a great way to get to see bogota.

We had an excellent stay in David and Sandra's apartment. The location is very central in La Candelaria and there is plenty to visit around and lots of bars and restaurants. The bedroom is comfortable and we had access to our own terrace overlooking the colonial rooves and the Montserrat hill. We also had our private bathroom which was an unexpected treat. David is very bubbly and friendly and shares his fantastic local knowledge.

David is a kind host, you will definitely got a feeling what local bogota people's life. I would recommend his place.

The room was very cozy, and the apartment was very interesting architecturally. Sandra was a big help in helping find interesting things to see and do! I highly recommend the bike tour! Centrally located in the historic district, and they set up transportation to/from the airport!

It was absolutely amazing being host by Ruben.He is the perfect host you wanna find especially when you are travelling in another continent:so hospitable,kind,interesting person,he is also an artist and knows very well the cultural scene of Bogotá so he will alsp give you a lot of helpful tips. The flat is incredibly nice,open space loft on three levels,perfect combination of colours,lot of lights,super cozy bed,hammock,kitchen..and it s in the heart of La Candelaria,the best area in Bogotá. You will feel immediately home and integrated in the city at Ruben's place!

I had the pleasure of staying at Ruben's place, which is also his studio and adorned with his many works. He lives in a three floor apartment in La Candelaria, the historical center where most of the tourist attractions are located. Bogota came alive through his wonderful stories and friends passing by his place. Muchos gracias!

staying with ruben was a great experience and we would definitely recommend it. although the room he offers is not totally private - as it is an open three floors apartment - we felt comfortable and never bothered. he was very helpful and flexible as we arrived kind of late at his place. super easy going :) thanks a lot!

Great location and a very welcoming host. We enjoyed the proximity to the museums, cafés and other places that Bogotás old centre has to offer.

We had a wonderful time at Rubens. It's in the best possible location of bogota. Ruben was helpful and welcoming.

Rubén é um anfitrião muito simpático e educado, me recebeu muito bem, sempre me informava as melhores atrações da cidade e do bairro. O espaço é muito agradável e tranquilo, ideal para uma boa noite de sono. A localização é excelente, ao lado dos principais pontos turísticos da Cidade, como por exemplo o Museo Botero, a Praça Boliviar, o Teleferico de Monserat, dentre outros. Eu passei dias agradáveis, obrigado Ruben por toda sua bondade. Rubén is a very friendly and polite host, welcomed me very well, he always informed me about the best attractions in town and the neighborhood. The space is very quiet, ideal for a good night's sleep. The location is excellent, next to the main tourist attractions of the city, such as the Botero Museum, Boliviar Square, Monserat's Teleferico, among others. I had spectacular days, thank you Ruben for all your kindness.

Excelente ubicacion, trato extraordinario de parte de Ruben, piso comodo, muchas opciones alrededor para comer, tomar algo y visitar los museos y cosas turisticas. Internet y agua de ducha para mejorar. Recomendable!

Iris and Larry are so warm and welcoming and have so much knowledge of Bogotá. There house has great rooftop views and is at the start of La Candelaria. So close to Bolivar square and many museums and restaurants. Highly recommended!

Great host! They helped us call a taxi at 5 in the morning. Lovely place:) wish we could stay longer!

The flat has an amazing view! The hosts are really nice and really make you feel at home!

I couldn't have hoped or asked for better hosts in Bogota. Larry and Iris were fantastic, friendly and helpful in every way imaginable. Their house is a gem -- right in La Candeleria, with an unmatched view. I cannot recommend this place enough for tourists to Bogota. Iris and Larry are model airbnb hosts!

Great place, great location, great time

Iris and Larry are extremely welcoming and helpful. The balcony of the tower is absolutely gorgeous, and they offer coffee and tea for you in the mornings. The apartment is very close to the candelaria, within a short and safe walking distance. Would recommend!

Me and my friend stayed with Irish and Larry for 3 nights. It was our first time to try airbnb, so we didn't have any expectations to how it works. But basically we couldn't imagine a better place to stay! Irish and Larry was this amazing couple that showed us around their neighbor hood, where to find cheap veggies, where go and find breakfast since we were staying there while there were eastern. Sometimes we have heard that you get a key to an apartment and the owners leaves, but what was really nice here, was that Irish and Larry took their time to tell us about Colombia and give us better impression about the country, even when they both had a deadline for their work that needed to be done when we were there! So in the end we couldn't imagine a better place to stay, for my point of view it would be a rookie mistake if you don't visit Irish and Larry

Larry & Iris are wonderful hosts - they were incredibly flexible with my odd schedule which I really appreciated! The apartment is in a fantastic accessible location that is more authentic than touristy La Candelaria. I wish I could have spent more time there and more time with my hosts!

I recommend this apartment and host. The building is beautiful - more so than I expected even having seen the photos. The apartment is secure, well maintained and very practical for 2-3 people (with the understanding that the bedrooms are open and not separated by doors). The location is very convenient to Candelaria sights and there are numerous bars and restaurants within walking distance. The WiFi was surprisingly strong and reliable. The only drawback is that hot water is a little slow and limited which might be a problem for multiple guests. The owner, Ana Margarita, is a very helpful and considerate host. Coffee and light food are provided which makes mornings much more pleasant and she has much good information about the neighborhood. All in all I was very happy with my stay.

My husband and I stayed at Ana Margarita's apartment for four nights. It's in the heart of La Candelaria, very close to the great museums and a 10-minute walk from three TransMilenio stations, including one (Universidades) at the end of the direct line to the airport. It's also a block from the highly recommended Bogotá Bike Tours. The neighborhood seems quite safe during the day and evening, although it's not advisable to walk alone late at night. The beautiful apartment building, in a tastefully renovated ex-convent, is precisely as pictured. It's very secure, guarded by helpful 24-hour doorkeepers. Ana Margarita's apartment is lovely and spacious. It has reliable Wi-Fi. A large living room and kitchen, including a piano and fireplace (which we could have used but didn't), are on the main floor. A king bed, a single bed, and one and a half bathrooms are in a loft above, with views and light through a huge gothic window. The shower has very hot water, although the flow is restricted. The chief drawback is the large mattress, which I found stiff and somewhat uncomfortable. My husband was OK but not thrilled with it. Ana Margarita thoughtfully left us eggs, fruit, milk, coffee, bread, jam, and more for breakfast. The kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, and blender. The coffee maker is of the old percolator style. It works fine but could easily be upgraded. Ana Margarita was not on site but communicated regularly via the Airbnb mobile app. She was very accommodating, polite, and solicitous of our comfort. Her daughter went out of her way to meet us when we arrived. Ana Margarita also provided the name of a driver who is available for transport and touring (but whom we didn't use). Foreigners should be aware that few Colombians speak English. The building's doorkeepers, for instance, do not, although they were very helpful with directions in Spanish. We communicated with Ana Margarita in Spanish and don't know about her English-speaking ability. Her daughter does speak good English. In sum, the location, security, design, and space of this apartment are outstanding for this area of the city. Ana Margarita is a kind, gracious, and welcoming host, and we regret not meeting her. The amenities are functional. Older guests might find the large bed uncomfortable, but younger or less picky guests might be fine with it.

Had a nice and safe stay. Would book it again

My boyfriend and I stayed in this beautiful, historical home for 3 nights. It is clean, well-kept, and has everything you need to feel at home. With a convenient location, we were able to walk around La Candelaria to see the sights and eat declicious food. Ana Margarita is a lovely host. We arrived to breakfast food in the refrigerator and many suggestions on what to do in the area. When we had a question about a bathroom repair, Ana Margarita responded to my email within minutes, even though she was out of the country. I would recommend this home because of the location, upkeep of the property, and hostess kindness.

Very beautiful apartment! Everything went smoothly too.

The apartment was beautiful and had a phenomenal location in la Candelaria. Ana Margarita made the experience easy and comfortable for us, and she went above and beyond by providing fruits and food for breakfasts. She left us a wifi password, and made sure we had clear directions on how to access the apartment before we arrived. She also was easy to reach if we had any questions but still non-intrusive. Also, the apartment's security staff was friendly and helpful, while staying vigilant about keeping the building secure. Last but not least, the views from her apartment were gorgeous!

Ana Margarita is a very good host. We were thrilled that she bought us fruit, bread, butter, jam, eggs, coffee, and milk so that we had food to get us started; she even asked us for our preferences ahead of time. Her communication was great, including detailed instructions about everything in the apartment and around it. The place definitely has older finishes (cabinets, bathrooms, etc.), but it was very clean. It is such a beautiful building! The location is great, super close to all of the attractions in La Candelaria. We could walk everywhere. There were always doormen, who were always friendly but ensured that the security of the building was maintained. She even left 2 Claro SIM cards for use while you are staying there. We would definitely return.

see above!

Andrés and Carolina are extremely nice and welcoming, and during the three months we spent in the flat we became good friends. Besides being warm and interesting people they have a lot of recommendations for places to visit and things to do in Bogotá and if you like, the rest of Colombia. The location is perfect in the middle of the historic centre, close to restaurants and museums. In the kitchen you will find all the equipment you need to cook, and the courtyard serves perfect to enjoy any meal or a cup of coffee when it´s sunny, don´t forget that Bogotá can be a bit chilly.

Andres and family were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Great location, central and and in fun and vibrant area. The apartment is great, everything you would need and pretty. Would definitely recommend this place!

Andrés was a wonderful host! He made us feel very welcome and our family had a great connection with him. We felt quite safe and comfortable in his apartment. He obviously put a lot of effort into his apartment. The neighbourhood was amazing! Andrés' apartment is right in the middle of one of the most vibrant areas of Bogatá! Although we only had a short time there, I don't think there'd be another place in Bogatá where I would rather hang out! This may not be the experience for everyone but if you like a more alternative, artistic and conscious experience, then I couldn't rate it higher!

My friend and I loved staying at Andrés' apartment. It is truly a gem in the city. So tastefully constructed and thought out. The beds are firm and incredibly comfortable. There were also plenty of blankets for chilly Bogota nights. Lots of hot water (even in the sinks!) and nice rain-head shower. Loved the little touches like the plush and comfy towels (hotel quality), soap, shampoo, hanging dried herbs, the beautiful patio area, and fully stocked kitchen. One problem we had with out stay was the wifi was out for nearly half the week we were there. Andrés was able to track down a technician to fix the internet for the rest of our stay. His wife also let us borrow her hotspot from her cell phone a few times which was very kind as well. Lastly, I would highly recommend brining ear plug for night if you're a light sleeper or not use to city noise. The apartment shares a wall with the street. Earplugs are strangely hard to find in Bogota (we were later told to look in music stores).

Andres house is beautiful and in the perfect area to discover the historic center of Bogota. Andres was very helpful in giving us suggestions and directions. We loved our stay and would definitely return. Would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting Bogota.

Andres and Carolina have a lovely home in an ideally placed and safe location in La Candelaria. They took great care to make sure we went to the very best places to eat and to visit in Bogota. Sharing their knowledge about Colombia gave us the perfect introduction to our trip. Their easygoing and warm hospitality felt like staying with friends.

Spacious one room place with a supernice backyard. Many lovely details in the whole house, good centered in La Candelaria, and Andrés was a very very nice host.

Nice and caring host for an artistic and loft type atmosphere. The apartment was amazingly clean when we arrived! Unfortunately Andres chose the most noisy place of his house to welcome guests. All the windows are located on the street and you might be awaken by trucks and taxis all night long. Moreover the apartment is quite cold and you need to sleep with many layers. We could not use the shower because it was almost impossible to get hot water. The mattress was also quite hard. We planed three nights there originally but only stayed one night for the lack of comfort. To recommend if you are very tired and resistant to cold bogota nights !

Stayed here again because I liked the appartement.

Juan Carlos is a very kind and respectful person. Always willing to help. The stay was super good. The room is spacious and complete. The location is very comfy for everything you need to do in Bogotá. The price is very affordable. Would go again without hesitation!

Juan Carlos is very good host and excellent person, gives good advice and suggestions on places to visit and the precautions you should take. The location of the place I loved, can move walk to many sights. I had a great. Good vibe and welcoming. My experience was excellent!

This place is a home of peace and happiness !! Thanks to Lida and Juan Carlos was spent in Bogota great. . If you want to enjoy and learn what it feels bogotiano, I advise you to stay here !!

Close your eyes and think about the perfect host. That’s what you get when staying in Juan’s apartment! I rent a room and got a friend. The place is like the photos and the location is good if you are planning to explore Bogotá’s history, go to museums, drink chicha and watch a good play in a theater near by. Oh and don’t forget the salsa. I didn’t have the opportunity because I was busy with my work but will certainly come back “para bailar”.

Juan Carlos and Lida are great hosts! They were both very helpful with orienting me to the city and giving me suggestions on where to visit. (Make sure to walk down the main pedestrian avenue Carrera 7 if you are in town.) Their apartment is a great part of the city: close to all of the tourist attractions but in an area with a more neighborhood feel than La Candelaria. The apartment is in a very safe area and has several great bars and restaurants nearby.

I stayed at Juan Carlos' 5 months during my exchange program in Los Andes University. Nice room for one person, well located in the center of Bogota. Very close to La Candelaria and Universidad de los Andes. Juan Carlos is a great host and knows how to create a perfect balance between friendliness and intimacy. I would definitely recommend to stay at his place. PS : As many parts of Bogota, you need to be careful of your belongings, it can be quite dangerous at night :)

This was my second time staying at Juan Carlos and Lida's place. I highly recommend staying here. The room was as described and very clean. The location could not have been better, close to everything in Bogota. Juan Carlos Is very helpful and knows the in's and out's of Bogota. Do yourself a favor when in Bogota stay here.

THE HOUSE IS RIGHT IN THE OLD TOWN OF BOGOTA, IT WILL HELP YOU TO KNOW BETTER BOGOTA.

Great location, convenient to a lot of museums, tours, and good food. Showers were a little lame but there was hot water, also the place was an absolute great deal so we can't complain. Very interesting art and friendly people.

Si son artistas o quieren estar en un espacio acogedor y lleno de arte. Es este el espacio. Súper cómodo!

Bien ubicado con gente muy amable y genial!

La casa de Angela esta ubicada allu donde la ciudad nació. Todas casas coloniales con fachadas preservadas . caminar por alli es una delicia. Ademas esta a pocas cuadras de los principales museos y sitios historicos. La casa en si es muy antigua... Pero esta llena de cuadros y pinturas. Lis baños son pequeños y se comparten pero la ducha tiene una excelente tempetatura. La habitacion es comoda. Lamentamos haber estado alli solo una noche pero lo recomendamos.

Seria un apartamento muy bueno. La jente muy amable y todo fue bien! Si regresamos a Bogota queríamos vivir con ellos otra vez =)

Son muy amables! Si vuelvo a Bogotá volvería!

Cette chambre, bien située dans le cœur de la Candelaria dans une coloc d'artistes tient toute ces promesses. David et Angela plutôt discret mais adorable sont là pour vous faire passer un séjour comme à la maison. Chambre grande et propre. Deux salles de bain avec eau chaude ! (Chose rare en Colombie). Je recommande !!
