Charming Water View Vacation Home, Colonial Center/Old Town

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, you are welcome back any time.

Hello Martina, I am very surprised by your review. I was very honest and transparent in our communication before you rented our house that it would not be recommended for a blind person as the quaint streets in the neighborhood are cobblestone, the house is on a hill overlooking the Bay, and it is not an accessible house for a blind person. Despite my honesty and transparency you chose to rent it anyway. I asked if you would have a helper with you to help you navigate the house and you said you had family there to help, but in fact you were traveling alone. It was very kind of my house manager to offer to help you and spend extra hours on her days, free of charge from the goodness of her heart. The house is clearly stated a non-smoking property, your first night there you broke this house rule and “locked yourself out of the house” to smoke on the eating patio which is part of the house. No other guest in the history of our house renting has ever done this, it would be with great effort to get locked out. We had to call our on-call manager to help you and had to pay her over-time fees which came out of our pocket. The house is fully stocked with towels, linens, shampoo, soap etc… It was all on the bathroom shelf to help yourself. I am hopeful that the readers of your review will be able to read through the lines that this was a guest who knowingly selected a house that would not be a good fit for her.

Dear Paula, Thank you for your feedback we love our casa and will alert our cleaning staff so they can help do a better job for future guests. Warm Regards, Anna

We are sorry that you did not have a positive experience but more than that, we are deeply saddened that you could not fully appreciate what our house and our neighborhood has to offer. Casa Myito is in a authentic neighborhood in the hills of "Old Town" Puerto Vallarta. Our hacienda was built by a famous Mexican architect on a very old cobblestone street, just 5 blocks up the hill from the oceanfront Malecon. It is nestled between the millionaires and the locals; Europeans, Americans and Mexicans live here year round. Old Town is a diverse urban environment with a distinctive local soundscape. Unlike a resort, Casa Myito is quaint and unique. See the photos. The tiles in our bathroom and kitchen are of a typical style. Our roof is made of traditional terra-cotta tiles. The furniture is authentic traditional Mexican style made locally. It's an open floor plan with a tree growing in the middle of the house. Casa Myito is not insulated from the typical street noises you'll find all over Mexican cities and towns, where real Mexican people live. You will hear the water truck announcing its advertising as it drives through the tiny streets. You will hear the Sunday evening family parties, the children laughing and playing late into the night. You will hear the nightly pirate ship on the bay shooting off it's cannon. You will hear the locals arriving home on their motorcycles. You may even hear roosters at all times of the day. When we visit, we find these sounds to be very charming and part of the experience of being in a 'real' part of Mexico. A typical feature of a small city in Mexico is that trash is collected on the street corner. This is the way they do it. Old Town is famous for it's Hollywood history. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor each built their own homes 3 blocks from ours. The director John Huston, built his home, 1 block from ours. In the neighborhood there are small hotels with rooftop bars featuring 360 degree views of the ocean, city and surrounding hills. There are gourmet restaurants and tiny family Mexican restaurants. The corner bodegas are convenient for necessities. There is even a wonderful yoga studio with rooftop yoga. Old Town is truly a gem. If you are looking for an authentic hacienda, you will love Casa Myito

All of Puerto Vallarta has older plumbing and even many hotels ask that toilet paper is disposed in the trash can. If the water is not filtered, it is not safe to drink.
