Puerto Vallarta Vacation

Adorable Refuge in Gringo Gulch! Downtown (Viejo Vallarta), Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 166073

Location: Downtown (Viejo Vallarta), Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexican Riviera, Mexico (25 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport)

Accommodations:  Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)

Keywords:  Apartment

This bright, colorful apartment within a private residence enjoys an ideal location in the original "foreigners'"settlement along the river that bisects Old Vallarta, two blocks from Liz Taylor's former residence. Walk to a huge variety of restaurants or dine in your own comfortable, homey apartment on food purchased in authentic local markets. The beach, shopping venues, tours of all sorts, live theater, historical sites, and the central plaza with its cathedral are all within a 5- to 15-minute walk, yet the house is tucked back along a cobblestoned street still traversed by horses and donkeys. This is your alternative to sterile "could-be-anywhere" hotels and resorts!

Bring your laptop and keep up with the world via WiFi, or kick back in the garden with a book to enjoy the sunshine, flora, and fauna. A comfortable futon couch sleeps an extra two persons in a walled-off, private living area. Your friendly hosts can help you with advice, translation, and other extra services. We are offering a very competitive rate for this spacious, excellently located apartment.
