Where to stay in Granada
Three Oasis Urbano apartments in Granada, one block from Cali's best-loved restaurants, cafés and bars, on a quiet street where you actually sleep. Made for a couple's getaway, a family or friends trip, weeks of remote work, an unhurried medical recovery, or the Feria and salsa.

What our guests say
“Love the location in Granada as your 1-2 blocks from main streets with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops but a perfect distance where the late night Cali noise is non-existent in the apartment.”“Mario es un excelente anfitrión que está pendiente de todo, súper amable. Todo es tal cual la descripción y las fotos. Perfecto para la familia!”“Los host fueron muy atentos, lugar muy seguro bien situado, con buena luz natural. Tuvimos que trabajar remoto y el lugar fue perfecto. Súper recomendado”“We stayed at Mario’s during COP16. The space was just what we needed and the location is hard to beat. Great restaurants and coffee shops nearby and easy access to other parts of the city. Very walkable neighbourhood. Would definitely stay there again.”“Mario es el mejor anfitrión en Cali sin duda, nos hizo sentir muy cómodas y resolvió rápidamente los problemas que tuvimos con el alojamiento, la zona es muy hermosa, tranquila, el apartamento se adapta fácilmente para estadías largas o cortas! Nos vamos de Cali muy gustosas con la estadía”“I always rent this place when I visit Cali. Great 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment, located in a safe and quiet neighborhood yet very close to the entertainment and food scene within walking distance.”Who writes this

I host three apartments in Granada, and this guide started as the list of answers I was giving every guest over and over: how to pay for the bus, which café you can actually work from, whether that address on the internet is still right.
The rule here is simple: every hard fact carries the source it came from and the month it was checked.
Found something out of date? Tell me and I will fix it: that is the only way a guide like this stays worth reading.
