In need of Medellin info

[Mar]

Can anyone recommend a good safe barrio that isnt Poblado, maybe with a mall nearby?

Also any apartment / aparthotel recommendations  in the 80k range would be appreciated

thanks in advance

How about this one?

It is not an apartment and not an hotel.   It is a guesthouse and is situated in Prado.  I will be staying there next week

This area of the city is el Centro, and is not known as one of the safer areas of the city.  My wife (barranquillera) was nervous walking around with me there at night, but not as much during the day.  Probably not a good idea to walk around there alone at night, and we were never out past 10:30pm or so.

That being said, it's a great guesthouse and I would stay there again.

Thanks for the info, but we aren't planning to walk around at nights anyway.  We will be staying there for the 1st 3 nights and again for the last 3 nights after our trip to Cartagena & Santa Marta.   We will be spending our 'walk' during the day time
