Beach, malecon, groceries, bars, restaurants.....we walked everywhere it was great!!Space looked exactly as advertised, great water pressure and AC !!Check in was super easy.The rooftop space was so relaxing, so nice to unwind after a busy day. ##### Sarah B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan M. 10 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great condo hideaway near beach I will absolutely be returning to this sweet spot in Puerto Vallarta! Just a couple blocks from the walkable Malecon, this tidy and very affordable was perfect for one person but would be fine for two. The kitchen and living room are separate from the bedroom, the ceiling fans are great (I never needed the air conditioner) and the residential vibe is a nice change from resorts. The owner and property manager are very accommodating and accessible. Winner winner! . ##### Susan M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John R. 18 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Stay: I Recommend Great location to walk through Vallarta central areas and to the Malecon. Wonderful French bistro just two doors away. Excellent beach side restaurant bar, El Barracuda, two blocks away. Good, english-friendly ATM at Santander one block away. Interesting restaurants to explore going east on San Salvador. Two regular live music venues within 3 blocks. When I had an issue, management replied promptly and fixed the situation. The shower water is a little too cool. Knowing management, I imagine that will be fixed. ##### John R.
