I travelled to Cartagena with my daughter and had an absolutely amazing time. The location in the walled city was perfect , walking distance to so many places, check out Getsemani. You must try the Arepas off the street vendors, so yummy (.80 cents ). We felt safe walking around endlessly. If you want to use a tour and excursions company, use the one just outside the front door to the left, very honest, we did a bus trip for the day to Playa Blanca, Baru and it was $15, including lunch and 1 hour open bar,. This guest house was perfect for our needs, very comfortable and super clean, we had the best shower ever ( roofless) your view was up to the open sky (interesting). Loved it ! Small roof top area for sitting and lounging with out door shower. Sitting areas on every floor, bathrooms available on every floor, breakfast was made to order, soup, arepas, eggs, toast, rolls, fresh fruit , fresh juice and coffee or tea served with a smile. The price is very reasonable. (taxi from airport $15.00 plus tip). I plan on returning next February 2020 and will stay there. I recommend this place. My sincere thanks to everyone at Estancia De La Mantilla, you made me want to return, 👍
