[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you go to Medellin, avoid staying in Poblado because it's not walkable and hard to get around without a car. [/quote]

It depends. I would recommend people stay away from staying near Parque de El Poblado if you want a decent night's sleep because it's the center of the party neighborhood. I learned the hard way.

I really like the Manila neighborhood of Medellin and El Poblado, which has a lot of hostels and trendy international resteraunts, which is found north of Calle 10 and west of Carerra 43A. Lots of great food options and the street noise is much quieter.

El Poblado has a financial district on Carerra 43A south of Calle 8 that has a lot of nice hotels with American brands. It also has malls and other upscale amenities. Yes, it gets less dense and your not really walking distance to the Metro, but it's a really green and pretty neighborhood and I guarantee you'll sleep well. The ciclovia runs down Carerra 43A on Sundays and I love those. Nothing better than eating a cheese arepa on the street with coffee during a beautiful Sunday morning.[/quote]
