Guest access Parking and drop-offs Guests can drive up to the house to drop off luggage. While parking isn’t allowed in the alley, street parking is available nearby on adjacent streets. Guests and friends have never had an issue with their cars. The neighborhood Villa Amistad is located in El Cerro, one of Puerto Vallarta’s original hillside neighborhoods overlooking Banderas Bay. Our small cobblestone alley is home to long-time Mexican families, many single middle-aged to older women, and a few gay men — a close-knit community where neighbors know each other and look out for one another. It feels authentic, lived-in, and safe. Guests love staying here because they can enjoy the energy of the city, then return to a peaceful, local neighborhood that still feels genuinely Mexican. Getting around The Romantic Zone, Centro, and 5 de Diciembre neighborhoods are all within walking distance—most places are 5–25 minutes away on foot. The hill up to the villa is moderate; guests who prefer not to walk are welcome to use the many Ubers and taxis readily available and affordable in this area. Local buses run along the main roads below and cost 10 pesos (exact change required). Parking is not allowed on Arroyo del Pedregoso, but free street parking is available on nearby streets. Other things to note Concierge Services Our local concierge, Faby, can help arrange airport transfers, private drivers, chefs, grocery delivery, tours, restaurant reservations, beach setups, and more. Full details and booking options are available in your digital guidebook. Families Families with children are welcome, but please note the villa is not childproof. There is an unfenced pool, open stairs, low railings, and breakable artwork and pottery. No children’s furniture or toys are provided. We encourage parents to reach out before booking if they have questions to ensure the villa is a good fit. Interaction with guests Personalized Hospitality We live onsite in private apartments, so we’re nearby if you need anything—without intruding on your privacy. You may see us around helping staff or maintaining the villa; occasionally we use the shared spaces, but only when they’re unoccupied and always with guest comfort in mind. We're here to help as much or as little as you’d like—whether that’s answering questions, offering local tips, or simply ensuring your stay is smooth and relaxing. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Massage - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 17 steps to reach entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of towels on request - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board - Limited housekeeping - Safe ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Heated pool - Basketball nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 710 square feet - Water dispenser usage encouraged - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59810000/59805300/59805201/d58ea60f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Apartment with spectacular mountain views.
