The accommodation provides a lift and full-day security for guests. The space was amazing. The pictures don't do it justice. It feels so much larger in person and it has an amazing view.

The property features garden and inner courtyard views, and is 8.5 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. I was very surprised! It's a large, neat colonial house (bungalow style). All rooms are private with bathroom and arranged around a very lush courtyard. It's spacious and well-kept, fully a equipped kitchen and a Peri grocery store at the corner. Lots of couches and books to read. The host doesn't live on site but is super friendly and responsive. There's a bus stop at the corner with plenty of busses bringing you to the center. Overall, it's the comfort of a hotel with the convenience of a hostel.
