Reviewed Aug 19, 2025Que la anfitriona fue muy amable y nos ofrecía todo tipo de facilidades y servicios. Tenía bastante espacio en armarios.
La ubicación no es del todo buena, ya que a pesar de estar cerca del centro, de noche la zona no era muy segura y teníamos que volver si o si en Uber. La habitación era muy calurosa. Mientras estabamos en ella se estaba bien con el aire acondicionado, pero al irnos y apagarlo, se calentaba tanto que se podiían estropear comidas y/o medicamentos.

Reviewed May 21, 2024This is more like an Airbnb as its a 3 bed apartment, with shared common areas. The owner is very friendly and is in one of the bedrooms. Air con worked well, good kitchen, washing machine that you can use for one small clothes wash. It was a nice place. Location not too far from the old town, we walked with no problem. Very close to the Spanish fort and to a large mall with supermarket, shops and food court.
Nothing really. Good value for money so can't complain. The owner is so nice and takes care of you.

Reviewed Sep 19, 2023Mary is really friendly, the room is comfortable, bed is comfy, the air con works really well, the kitchen is well equipped and it has everything you need. There is a huge shopping centre just behind the place with everything you need.
The water in the shower was barely lukewarm and you couldn't adjust the temperature, but it's really hot anyway in Cartagena, so it wasn't a big problem. It's a 20 minutes walk from the historical centre, which isn't a problem during the day, but can be a little dodgy at night.
