With an interview date set and the documents obtained, it was now time to set our trip to Bogota. We checked several hotels and the lowest price we could find was about $150 per night and needed to stay for 8 days.
We found the website www.welovebogota.com and decided to rent an apartment here.
I sent Sr Alberto an e-mail and he responded promptly. He and his sister Martha have several apartments in Bogota and he rented the apartment located in Cuidad Salitre to us. This accommodation worked out very well as it is approximately a 5 minute walk from the shopping center Salitre Plaza. The shopping center had everything we needed for our stay including an “Exito” grocery store, banks, restaurants and travel agencies if needed.
Sr Alberto rents each room in the apartment individually or you can rent the entire apartment for your stay. The apartments have cable TV, kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave and Internet access. The only thing the apartment doesn't have is heat and it can get cool at night. The building also has 24/7 security and is in a good area of the city. We rented the entire 3 bedroom apartment for the equivalent of $70 USD per day.
The prices for the apartments are very good and need to be paid in cash for the entire stay on the first day. We enjoyed our stay here, felt very comfortable and would recommend it for anyone who needs to visit Bogota. For more information you can visit www.welovebogota.com and contact Sr Alberto or Martha for more information.
Here are some pictures of the apartment and a map of its location in Bogota

Thanks so much for the information and images on the Bogota apartment that you stayed at. I am going to make this my fist choice of an apartment to stay at while in Bogota. I like how clean it is and of course the low rental rates. Here I come Bogota, Colombia.
