Would you recommend it?
Changed 3 times, would recommend the first one if the Nigerian isn't leaving there anymore and if you don't mind having the owner passing by every week like she's leaving in the house (but she's very nice and helpful). The second one was not great but is being renovated so it will probably be better, however the rooftop is amazing. 3rd one was a friend's house so not for renting. Perfect location if you want to be in the center, near places to go out, and dance salsa, but far from the universities.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Depends if you like salsa or not Top salsa bars, clubs etc : La Caldera, La Topa, La Malamaña, el boulevard, calle del sabor, Donde Fabio Top reggeaton bars and clubs : la Pergola, 10.60, la Over, Café mi Tierra

Juanchaco, 3 hours bus to Buenaventura then a one hour lancha. Medellin, one hour from plane or 10 hours by bus Popayan, a 3 hours bus
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Cali?
Need to learn salsa and make friends with caleños. Know the good spots and (in my opinion) leaving in the center. Way much more things to do and the mood's really different from the one in the South where the universities are located.
no

Would you recommend it?
For five months it was perfect, since it was reassuring to be surrounded by students in a supervised residence. The rooms are comfortable, and the common areas are very modern, with a pool, ping-pong, a pool table, and many other amenities.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
There are a few nice bars and restaurants (including Wet Sunday on Thursdays) close to the residence, but the neighborhood isn’t known for its nightlife. It’s better to head to the districts further north, where the clubs are located (notably Pergola and 10-60).
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Diseño, Talento Humano, Liderazgo
Do you have some tips?
Need to registrate at the office when you arrived in Cali.
Best trips to do?
Cascada del Indio, Juanchaco, Tres cruses walk
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Cali?
Don’t walk after 10 pm in thé streets. Take Uber to circulate
