We have been to Puerto Vallarta many times and this place is by far the best place we have stayed in the Puerto Vallarta romantic zone!
First the hosts were very easy to communicate with and have a hands on approach sending someone to check in on us when we got there and quickly answering any texts or emails questions that came up during the stay.
The location is perfect and as described, right in the heart of the romantic zone. A quick walk down the small hill to one of the main streets brings you to a host of restaurants, bars, clubs & shops. It is about a 15 minute walk from the gay beaches and even less time for the rest of the beaches. As for the hill it is not that much of a climb, we have climbed much worse. If you have trouble walking it will be the cobblestone streets in town that you will need to be careful of.
The unit was as described, large and spacious and perfect for two couples and maybe a tagalong. I think you could make the little TV room nook into a non-private sleeping area if you travel with a larger group. The kitchen was well stocked with the basic spices and stuff for cooking or heating up meals. Under normal circumstances we don't come to this city to cook but during our trip the city shut down at 8:30 due to COVID-19, this was the perfect place to stay when our nights ended around 8:30.
Now for the only downsides. The balcony is great to hang out on at night but mosquitos love it just as much as we do! This is a residential building and you can hear life go on above, so I assume those below us heard us too. The pool closes at 10 which is also typical for places like this. In conclusion this is not the place to have large noisy groups or late night parties, but also under normal circumstances the loud noisy party and good times on the warm Mexican nights would be out on the streets and on the Malecon where the people watching and street food never end.
We hope to be able to come back here and stay again in the future. For those who might want to travel during this pandemic and are worried you might end up spending a lot of time at your vacation rental, this is a great place to choose.
