Our Location is
considered by many to be the most desirable place to live (the 'Guadiana' neighborhood) in San Miguel because of it's safety, level walking surfaces and the proximity to many shops, restaurants and the 'Instituto Allende' for art and language classes. We are on the edge of the historic area.
The $500.00 'Summer Special' is for occupation by one person only.
This is a two-story townhouse with a beautiful landscaped courtyard garden and fountain.
We rent our home while we travel in the early Spring, April 15 to late Summer, October 15.
The house is close to the 'Instituto Allende', St. Paul's Church, U.U. services, and the 'Centro'.
The open market in Colonia San Antonio on Sundays is a short walk away. The historic center is about a 15 minutes walk (or by a 5 peso bus).
Torah studies are further along. Taxis and buses are cheap and plentiful.
The roof terraces have beautiful panoramic views of the mountains including the 'Parroquia' church. The roof terraces have a painter's easel, sink, telescope, table, 4 chairs and a hammock.
All utilities (gas, water and electric)are included, except internet and TV cable at this fantastic price. A cell phone is provided for your convenience when traveling about town or to the rest of Mexico. All linens are here. The kitchen is fully equipped with coffee maker, ice cream maker, toaster and microwave. There is a new stove and a new large french door refrigerator/freezer. All water is treated in the roof tank and there are filters at the faucets. We use this city water for everything except drinking and have had no problems.
Maid service is provided twice a week. You have nothing to do but enjoy your visit to San Miguel.
No children, No pets, No smokers.
