This condo is directly on the malecon with a very large terrace looking out onto the bay and around the corner onto the center of town. The sliding glass doors open up basically the full front and half the side of the condo. Yes, I said OPEN. So it's just like you are outside every minute you are actually inside....you can easily hear the crashing waves of the ocean even from the bedroom. And on the subject of hearing, you can also hear all the commotion from the malecon, the bars and shops below. There are food stands set up right under your balcony till very late at night. And by late I mean there's a lot of noise easily to midnight, 1 am or later depending on the night. If you have trouble going to sleep you may want ear plugs, a radio with ear buds or perhaps not staying directly on the malecon. Of course, if you do that, you will miss the best view you may ever have of the Bay. Sidebar: There are a couple of palm trees off to the left that partially block the sunset . This can be kind of a good thing if it's hot and you don't want the sun shining directly sideways into your face. But it also means that if you truly want the best view of the sunset, you should go up two flights more to the rooftop where you will have truly the best view EVER of the bay. As for the rest of the condo, the kitchen is postage sized with no room to put food let alone actually cook. There is an actual oven and a good sized fridge but I'm a short person and would have to curl up to lay down lol. Best suggestion:Plan to eat out at all the Fabulous and often very reasonable places in PV and use the fridge to keep your water and beer cold and maybe some milk for cereal. The bed was very comfortable, the decor is very tropical and bright. We loved the funky, fun look that the owners clearly put some real thought into.
Things to know: There are a lot of stairs up into the condo's very secured entry (a plus) and then up to the unit but then that's where the view is! You must throw ALL toilet paper in the trash here as the plumbing in Centro PV is too sensitive. You will find this ALL OVER PV, so if that's a problem, Mexico might not be for you. The water is ok to wash stuff but don't drink it we were told. PV's water is very highly rated as clean but maybe old pipes? You get a large bottle of water on a stand though. Last but definitely not least, every question or issue we had was responded to professionally and quickly by our hosts, They were great!
