Doug Y. stayed there last Christmas.We visted them a couple times.The place was very nice and separated from Chipi Chapi by a small side street.Big security wall.It took us awhile to get past the guard gate.Doug said he did get a little nervious when he could hear gun shots at night(happens all over Cali).He was on the first floor.

Hey Pete, I thought Doug stayed in one of those tall apartment buildings on either side of chipi-chapi? If so, this looks different to me. I think these are the two story townhomes that are back against and part way up the hill behind the mall. There's a road that twists leading up to them.

I haven't stayed there but I recognize the gringo owner, his wife and where the apartment is located. I met him during one of my trips and he's a good guy. Regarding the aptartment. It's more or less behind the chipi-chapi mall and right up against the hillside. The bio says Cali central but this is actually the north and just a few blocks from Avenida Sexta. It looks like a nice place and probably a safe walk down to Avenida Sexta during the day. At night it might be dangerous walking as those streets back against the hill can be really dark, I'd consider a taxi. If you use the place, give us a report as I'd be curious... El Diablo |
