What's is the best place to find a nice apartment in Medellin?

I noticed that the a 3 bedroom is less than $300 in Medellin based on this website. Is this true? I find this price incredibly low.

For long term rent at “local prices” (and especially at the current exchange rate) that is definitely the case, although it does vary throughout the city. But good luck finding a short-term Airbnb or similar at that price :)

It depends on the neighbourhood. In the nicest areas (Poblado), a 3 bedroom apartment will run you around $750 at current exchange rates (3400 COP per USD). $300 can definitely be found in other areas of the city though.

Note that this is for long-term rentals. For shorter stays you’re going to be paying a lot more.

Personally I'm a fan of living in Envigado. It's only a $3 Uber ride from Poblado, but at the same time a lot more genuinely Colombian and a bit cheaper. It's also very safe :)

Thank you TKRunning! I will look into it.

What is considered long term in Colombia? In regard to months. The reason I ask is that I need to pay attention to Visa Restrictions. Thank you
