I found a very modest, furnished studio just a couple of blocks from Parque Lleras on Calle 36 near Domino's for $325 a month, and later an unfurnished 3 bedrooom/2 bath in Manila (still Poblado, just lower, near the metro station) for $400. I found both of these by walking the streets and having a local girl call rental numbers for prices. These would be pretty rock-bottom I think, but prices would start from there and go up. $500 a month might be more realistic for something decent and furnished these days. Manizales is probably 20% cheaper than Medellin across the board, and Barranquilla is just as expensive, I can't tell you about anywhere else.
Do you pay month-to-month or is this a 6/12 month contract? Do you have local sign as your fiadoro (sp)?
The little studio near Lleras was month-to-month. The apartment in Manila was a year-long contract and I did have to get a Colombian co-signer who owned land.
