Homesick for sure – but mainly because of the lack of good Indian, Middle Eastern food – I’ve been Slowmading in LATAM for a couple years now. And there’s a very limited choice of Indian / Middle Eastern food. Prior to this, I lived in the Greater Toronto Area for 15 years and there was a lot of choice :)

I’m currently Slowmading in LATAM. I’ve used 2 main platforms for furnished Mid-term rentals (I have tried Fb marketplace – these have worked the best for me and less of a hassle)

RemoteCasa.co , they do fully furnished rentals for 30days+ / nights stays, focussed on nomads that prefer to work from Home, usually in great neighbourhoods (I believe they focus on Colombia mainly for now) They give out decent discounts if you stay longer.

Another one is Vacation Renter (less quality, budget travel) https://www.vacationrenter.com/es-es/search/Manizales – hosts more rentals in the outskirts. This has been good for budget travel, it’s hooked up to Booking.com, so you should also be able to check out reviews/ ratings there.

From what I’ve heard, Marketplace does have a couple scams going around (at least in LATAM), so I’d suggest being extra careful. Also, furnishing the apartment has been a time waste of time for me, but totally worth it if you’ve got the time.
