The apartment is on the second floor, and on the third floor we have a roof. A table is being delivered, so that you guys can enjoy an outdoor meal or just take the sun.

As it is a private apartment, you have a private access and will be able to enjoy all two floors of it. 2nd floor is the apartment and 3rd floor is the terrace, where you can enjoy the sun in the included chairs. BBQ is also a possibility or making a reunion with friends you might have or recently know in Puerto Vallarta.

Interaction with guests

We are more than happy to start making a new wonderful tradition and experience with you, which is why we are available at any moment. As soon as we deliver you the keys, we will explain the basics and the area for a better understanding of how to get around and back to the apartment.

Nice large apartment

We were looking for a place away from the tourist areas because of the all night partying and traffic .This large clean 2 bedroom apartment certainly had the potential to meet our needs. However , being situated in a working class neighborhood it came with it's own noise challenges .Many barking (6-8) dogs and plenty of traffic during waking hours but okay after hours . The roosters in the neighborhood also reminded me of growing up on a farm . lol .The owner was away and we eventually were able to meet up with his friendly mother and gain entrance. Overall a good stay with some really good authentic restaurants nearby and grocery stores and restaurants/ bars all within a short walk or cheap cab ride . We enjoyed our stay

Nice property in a great location

The condo was just as pictured and the location was walking distance to downtown and the beach. The kitchen wasn’t very well-equipped and the owner was slow to respond to our concerns. The roof top has great views and a lot of chairs and loungers but could use some shade in order to be a more useable space. Overall, it was a good stay.
