Finding suitable apartment for remote workers in Bogota can be easy as the city is constantly growing and modern apartments are common and affordable. Of course, you will want to make sure you choose an apartment carefully and, as such, it is recommended that you stay for a few days at a hotel or Airbnb in town while you have the opportunity to check out Bogota’s many neighborhoods and visit prospective apartments in person. In general, it is easy to rent here and, although agencies are likely to ask for a cosignatory, private landlords are likely to accept international tenants for a high deposit amount.
