FAQ

Questions before you apply

Who is Caobo Lodge for?

Remote professionals and digital nomads who want a real base in Medellín for a longer stay, with good people around them and a proper place to work.

Can I book a room online right away?

No. Every stay starts with an application. The host reviews it personally and confirms your room, so everyone in the house is a good fit.

How long can I stay?

Caobo Lodge is made for longer stays rather than quick trips. Tell us the months you have in mind when you apply and we will confirm what is available.

What comes with my room?

Your private studio, a weekly cleaning service, the laundry, the coworking floor, the rooftop, and the living room, kitchen and jacuzzi on the ground floor.

Do I share my studio?

No. All twelve studios are private. The coworking floor, the rooftop and the ground floor living room, kitchen and jacuzzi are the shared spaces.

Is it a good place to work?

Yes. A full floor of the building is coworking space, with a private meeting room for calls and team sessions, so you have a desk without leaving home.

Who looks after the house day to day?

Our community manager. They welcome new residents, organize the events and are your first stop for anything you need during your stay.

What does a fully electric house mean for me?

There is no gas anywhere in the building. Cooking and hot water run on electricity, and solar panels on the roof help cover it. No gas smell, and a smaller footprint for your stay.
