Laureles · Medellín · Colombia
Furnished apartment with a 22 m² private terrace, jacuzzi, steam shower, full kitchen, and dedicated workspace. Three-month minimum. Contact Jorge for availability.
The Building
Edificio San Paolo is a five-story residential building in the walkable core of Laureles — voted the world's coolest neighbourhood by Time Out in 2023. The apartment is Apt. 202 — second floor, one flight of stairs, no elevator. The building entrance has intercom access and is well-maintained.
The Terrace
Most furnished rentals in Laureles are investor-grade studios without meaningful outdoor space. This apartment leads with something genuinely different: a 22 m² private terrace enclosed by exposed brick walls, with a covered outdoor living room, mature tropical landscaping, a private corner whirlpool jacuzzi, and evening lighting that makes the space as usable at night as it is during the day. Combined with 40 m² of interior space, the total indoor-outdoor environment is 62 m².
"Few furnished apartments in Laureles lead with outdoor space. This one does — and it's visible from every room."
The Bedroom
The bedroom opens directly onto the terrace through French doors that swing fully open, creating a genuine indoor-outdoor room. In Medellín's climate this connection is available year-round. When the city gets warm, the air conditioning — uncommon in furnished rentals at this level — keeps the interior comfortable without sacrificing the terrace experience. Custom finishes throughout: a feature accent wall, art details, layered warm lighting, and ceiling fan.
Privacy & Comfort
The apartment faces the rear private terrace, not the street. The soundproofed doors mean the apartment is quiet regardless of what is happening outside. When open, the boundary between the bedroom and the terrace disappears entirely. This combination — rear orientation, soundproof doors, AC, and a private walled terrace — is what makes the apartment restful in an urban setting.
The Interior
The floating vanity shelf with wall mirror, the pre-Columbian art lit by a bedside lamp, the upholstered headboard, warm cove lighting, and art details throughout — these reflect a space designed and built out for personal use and refined over time, not one optimizing for minimum cost and maximum turnover.
Living & Dining
The main living area combines lounge and dining functions with easy access to the terrace. A convertible sofa, dining table, wall-mounted bar shelf, air conditioning, and ceiling fan make the space comfortable for medium- and long-stay occupancy. Ottomans from the bedroom move to the living area to create seating for four.
Details
The wall-mounted bar shelf with wine rack and hanging glass storage, the dining table set for four, the dedicated ergonomic workspace, the pre-Columbian art above the TV — details that reward longer stays.
The Workspace
The workspace sits directly beside the terrace glass doors, with a wide desk, two ergonomic swivel chairs, a dedicated task lamp, and a 55" smart TV above. The desk also functions as a dining table for four when needed — a practical feature in a compact layout.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is fully equipped for serious medium-term occupancy: granite counters, a bar peninsula with stools, mosaic backsplash, Samsung refrigerator with ice maker, induction cooking, convection oven/air fryer, and multicooker. Glassware, Corelle dinnerware, and quality cookware are all included. The full-size washer-dryer tower is a practical standout — dryers are rare in Medellín furnished rentals.
The Bathroom
The bathroom finishes read more like a boutique hotel than a furnished studio — black mosaic steam shower enclosure with digital control panel, dark granite vanity, comfort-height toilet, and handheld bidet. Abundant hot water and strong pressure throughout — both essential for filling the jacuzzi.
Fitness Room
The building includes a private fitness room with a multi-station strength machine available for tenant use. It is a practical amenity for longer-stay occupants who want to maintain a training routine without a gym membership. The owner uses the room briefly three mornings per week.

Apartment Details
Location
The apartment is in the dense, walkable core of Laureles — flat streets, mature tree cover, and a local commercial environment that includes both neighbourhood staples and excellent international restaurants, all within a short walk. Two bus lines pass in front of or within half a block of the building, connecting directly to the Metro.
FAQ
It doesn't compete with investor-grade studios. The private terrace, jacuzzi, steam shower, and custom interior place it in a different category — a purpose-built long-stay residence rather than a commodity furnished unit.
Yes. Wide dedicated workspace with two ergonomic chairs, task lamp, and high-speed internet. The soundproofed doors and rear-facing orientation mean the apartment stays genuinely quiet during working hours.
Very usable. The terrace is partially covered and enclosed by brick walls. Medellín's climate means it functions as a genuine extension of the apartment for most of the year. On warmer days the air conditioning handles the interior comfortably.
Very strong. Groceries, bakeries, cafés, local and international restaurants, pharmacies, Mall Laureles, and Viva Laureles enclosed mall with its Éxito Wow supermarket and department store are all within a few minutes on foot. Two bus lines half a block away connect directly to the Metro. Flat, shaded streets in a residential neighbourhood.
Remote professionals, couples, and longer-stay visitors who prioritize quality, privacy, and a genuinely restful environment. The 3-month minimum is intentional — this apartment rewards occupants who will appreciate it properly.
The apartment faces the rear private terrace rather than the street, and the French doors are soundproofed. It is much quieter than most urban apartments of this type.
