I prefer Medellin and it's much more of a liveable city than Cartagena. The best place to stay is in the Laureles neghborhood near Primer Parque or Segundo Parque. There are tons of great restaurants, bars, cafes, etc within walking distance. Most tourists and expats stay in Poblado but you are isolated and it's not walkable because it's so hilly. There are quite a few day trips you can take just outside of Medellin.

I stayed in both El Poblado and Laureles when I was in Medellin. The Manila neighborhood in El Poblado is really nice, lots of trendy restaurants  with a wide variety of food. Make sure to stay away from Parque de El Poblado as that is the center of the nightlife district and it is very loud until 3 am there. The mile south of the parque on Carerra 43A is really nice, but it's also a little more spread out and less "walkable".

I stayed near Suramericana metro in Laureles and liked it. Was a little more middle class than El Poblado and I liked being closer to the center of the city. Also walked to Estadio Girardot for a soccer match so that was nice.[/quote]
