Guest Access:
Once you rent it the whole place is yours.
You're welcome to have guests over as long as maximum occupancy is not exceeded (4 persons). We need IDs of any guest who spends the night. If they are just visiting then not needed.
The Neighborhood:
Located right on the river boulevard by the historic Cali downtown, it's hard to think of a more emblematic and central location in the whole city. The area is full of little restaurants and bars. The restaurant on the first floor of the building - Tierra de Todos - serve what is arguably the best burger in the whole city!
On one side you have the financial district mixed with all the old beautiful buildings. At the end of the boulevard, two blocks down, you'll find La Pergola Clandestina - one of the top 100 night clubs in the world.
5 minutes walk across the river you'll find the Centenario Shopping center and and 5 minutes more will take you to the Granada entertainment district.
In the other direction towards the hotel Intercontinental, you'll find the El Peñon and colonial San Antonio neighborhoods. Both are tourist favorites and packed with dining options, including some cocktail bars, artisanal ice cream, good coffee shops, etc.
Plaza Caicedo is only a few blocks away.
Please note that part of the river boulevard turns into an after work street party, especially on Friday afternoons. So if you're sensitive noise and fun then best to choice another location. But there's honestly no better place to get a feel for the local culture.
Getting Around:
During the day, I suggest walking wherever possible. Enjoy the warm, eternal summer climate. Get to know the city. Explore!
If you're going further, then there are more than 20.000 taxis in Cali and they are very affordable. Minimum fare starts at 4.000 pesos. Uber, Cabify, Beat, WayCali and Didi are other similar services. Busses are plentiful but then to get very crowded.
At night, best to use a taxi / Uber / Didi.
