The apartment was cozy and easy to get to everywhere I needed. Grocery store a block away. Easy walk to food stands and restaurants. Board walk and city hilites and the beach was right there. If you are looking for a home away from home this is the place for you.to live like a local..

Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Photos online are misleading
Tiny is an understatement! We had to climb 6 flights of steps to get to the room. You barely had space to move around. The photos made the space look much more spacious.

The announcement and our previous comments specify that the studio is small and the photos correspond perfectly to what I offer. It is false to indicate that there are 6 levels when there are really 4 and it is indicated in the ad that we are located on the terrace, that's why the panoramic view. There is also a photo of the building in which it is verified that the building has 4 levels. I can understand that you don't like it or that it doesn't correspond to what you were looking for but it is not valid to qualify or comment on false things. I have rented this studio with the same name for almost 10 years and my reputation in all the agencies supports me.
The casita is very cozy and in a great location for visiting with the people of the land. It is 5 stories up (pack light😉) and is set back from the street so the space is quite. I felt safe and comfortable. It is really best for 1 person but 2 will work.
The exchange with the owner was great - all via text.

About the host

Hello! I’m Eric, a French host living in Mexico.
At Le Petit Bonheur, I’ve created an optimized getaway in the heart of the authentic 5 de Diciembre neighborhood, just 3 minutes from the beach.
As a lover of local culture, I designed this studio as the perfect base for solo travelers or couples who prioritize a prime location and a private terrace with views. I’m happy to share my favorite local tips for an authentic stay in Puerto Vallarta. Looking forward to hosting you!

What makes Petit Bonheur unique is the rare balance it offers: staying in the heart of a vibrant, authentic Mexican neighborhood (5 de Diciembre) while enjoying total peace and quiet.
