Fodor's Expert Review 61Prado Guesthouse

Calle 61 No. 50A–60, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia

A refreshing alternative to staying in tourist-heavy El Poblado, this friendly guesthouse is close to the historic center and offers a decidedly different view of Medellín. The neighborhood is quite safe, with little corner cafés nearby for a snack or breakfast; it's best to take taxis at night. Rooms are comfortable, with a good bed and shower, satellite TV, and standing fan. There are pleasant common areas to relax, including a rooftop patio, and the little on-site restaurant has a few surprisingly good dishes for dinner, and a well-done and affordable à la carte breakfast.
