From the photos online we had a pretty good idea of what to expect in terms of the visual aspects of the casita but it wasn't until we walk into the nestled flat in the Historic District of Mazatlán that we understood the careful attention and appreciation that has been given to the place that offered such a visceral experience. From architectural layout, interior décor, bedroom accommodations, common space amenities, to the courtyard setup on each level, Casa Venus proved to have a bit of everything to make our stay comfortable. The Spanish-European feel of the place is evident from the moment you walk up to foyer characterized by vertically elongated wooden doors. Outside the home, the surrounding town was a delight to explore and discovering the eccentric one way cobble stone streets that maze throughout the district. Only a stone toss from the flat is the beach boardwalk that stretches for miles in either direction that offers restaurants, bars, street vendors, lounges, and other touristic attractions that pique ones interest. All in all, our stay at Casa Venus was comfortable, unique, and memorable. Vianey, our Host, was most attentive to our needs and made every effort to make sure that we were well taken care of. Her attentiveness made the difference. We'll cherish this trip for many years to come.
