You are welcome to have people visit you but please respect the house rules at all times and remember that all guests must be registered with the building's security guard.
The Neighborhood:
The residential neighborhood of Juanambú is close to all the fun. The Granada Zona Rosa (entertainment district) begins only two blocks away on the 9th Avenue which is packed with bars, clubs, restaurants, coffee shops, designer stores and several hotels.
Nearby is the river boulevard which is great for sightseeing and is always a lot of fun on Friday afternoon.
The Centenario shopping center with supermarket, food court, coffee shops and cinema is only 3 blocks away. More famous shopping center Chipichape is about 10 minutes drive north.
Behind the building is the mountain known as "Cerro Las Tres Cruces" which offers a great morning hike up to the 3 crosses statues. Awaiting you at the top there's an amazing view of Cali, fresh fruit juices and a primitive outdoors gym. Expect the climb to take 45-60 minutes depending on your physical condition. Best time to go is from 6-10 am.
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 which is less than a dollar. If you don't speak Spanish then Uber, Cabify, Beat and Didi all operate here and are the better choice. Busses are plentiful but tend to get very crowded and there is no bus line that passes by the property.
At night, best to always use a taxi / Uber / Didi / Beat / Cabify.
We also have private drivers we can recommend for airport pickups and trips around the city as well.
Other Things to Note:
Registration:
According to Colombian law, a photo ID must be presented for each person staying at the property. To complete this registration, we send a link where you can upload all the information mentioned above. A signed rental contract is also required before entering. You can complete it through the same link that is sent as soon as the reservation is confirmed.
Please note the apartment is in a residential building called Hayedo de Juanambú with security at the reception. We only operate the apartment, we do not administrate the building. The building requires a registration process separate from ours to gain access. You have to announce your group at the reception first, present identification and fill out the log book.
After your arrival, your group may be asked again to identify themselves at the reception if they step in and out of the building. We recommend to have identification on you at all times.
Medical tourists:
Please inform If you are getting any medical procedure done while staying at our property. Damages to bedsheets and towels will be charged.
Airport pick-ups:
Let us know if you need help with airport transportation. We work with several top rated drivers and would be happy to arrange. They will wait for you, help with luggage and allow for one 15-minute stop on the way to a supermarket, ATM, etc. They know the exact location of the property making sure you won’t get lost.
Factura electrónica:
We issue a legal electronic invoice for the amount monetized in Colombia (after VRBO commissions). This complies with all the local regulation if you need to deduct your stay as a business expense.
Interruption in utilities:
This is the tropics and utilities such as electricity, water supply, and internet can experience interruptions from time to time. These potential situations are completely out of our control and are not cause for any refund. Luckily the building has a back-up water tank and electric plant for emergencies.

Interaction with Guests:
My partner Harold and I frequent this building a lot and always love meeting people from all over the world. Conveniently, we have our office only a few minutes away.
Since we operate around 30 apartments in the Hayedo building, you will be seeing our cleaning and maintenance team in the building on a daily basis. They are wearing the EXSTR uniforms. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask :)
