BOGOTA, COLOMBIA APARTMENT RENTALS

The government of Colombia and Bogota in particular are making illegal for ordinary citizens to rent their apartments or rooms in their house short time. The reason for this is that hotels are complaining that they are losing money.

The main reason hotels in bogota, colombia are losing money is that they charge way too much for their lodgings. Because of this travelers have looked elsewhere for accommodation. Private owners to rent to travelers short time stand to lose allot of money because of this new law.

Backpackers who love traveling and cheap accommodation will be the hardest hit. Just how the Colombian government will enforce this new law in another story. It's a wait and see game with many people now engaged in the tourist industry.

You can still find a luxury accommodation for very affordable prices at apartment rentals Bogota, Colombia.

APARTMENT RENTALS AND ACCOMMODATION CHEAP RATES

I am currently residing in Angeles City, Philippines. The rates for apartments and rooms is similar to those in Bogota, Colombia. Accept that there are much more opportunities to rent a decent hotel room here than in Bogota.

For example, I can rent a huge hotel room here with access to an olympic size swimming pool only steps from my door. The room comes with 24/7 security and a restaurant/bar that is open for 24/7. The rooms are fully furnished with great Aircon. I paid only $20 a day for my room on a monthly basis. You will pay over $100 for a similar room in Bogota.

That's why I always try and find a furnished apartment for rent in Bogota, Colombia. I normally only rent one room in these apartments. I often have the entire apartment to myself because all of the rooms are not rented out.


It's hot here in Angeles City and my mind wanders to Bogota where the air is cool and the people are so sophisticated.
