Unit: Well appointed and new – the owner provided us with a list of everything contained in the unit which helped when packing! Also there are distinct AC units in each bedroom and living area with ceiling fan in each of the bedrooms which was especially useful since we did not want to open the windows at night. Wifi and cable (Spanish only) are available if you want to lounge around the apartment

Building: when you exit the elevators on the 7th floor, you understand why this is a great building. The view is amazing and the pool is great both for laps and relaxing. There are long chairs albeit not many in the shade. There’s also a covered seating and eating area so if you want to hide from the sun which can get intense in the afternoon, there is always an alternative. The BBQ and kitchenette area was quite nice too – though there are so many good places to go eat so we didn’t really make much use of it (my father in law did BBQ once though, he bought a fish directly from a fisherman on the beach).

Location: It is very centrally located. The beach is one block away, many bars and “touristy” restaurants are less than 5 minutes away, local eats and a produce market are less than 10 minutes on foot away. It’s at the cusp of old town and central PV, so the Malecon is also very close by. There is also a drug store/convenience store approximately 3 blocks away to get the basics (water, milk, juice, snacks, etc) and we found a really good Churros stand nearby!

I think that the only negatives of this apartment was that the TVs are in the bedrooms so you can't really be together to watch and there is a main bus stop on the other side of the street – the buses are loud. It did not disturb us much though because it was the living room which faced the street and you can’t hear the buses from the rooftop which is where we spent most of our time.

Plus the Erik (the owner) and Mary (the property manager) are really responsive and super nice – they answered all of our questions! We would definitely stay there again on a future visit to PV.
