I must be transparent and say that I previously lived in Puerto Vallarta for three years so I know the culture and the way they do business and I speak Spanish fluently. I do not know Angelica and was not familiar with her property. I needed to make a quick trip back to Mexico for some dental work and I was very fortunate to find this property, which was in a perfect location for me. From the minute I contacted Angelica on VRBO she was extremely responsive and clear in her answers. This is honestly a rarity with many property owners and I truly appreciated her help since this was a last minute trip.
Instructions for check in were clear and I had no problem accessing the unit. There was even a cute welcome sign with my name on the door, what a nice touch after a tiring day of travel. I felt secure and safe while I was there. The adorable apartment is upstairs. The photos online do reflect the charming decor. It is obvious that Angelica put a lot of thought and effort into the interior design and furniture.
There is a large and very functional kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel large refrigerator and every small appliance one could possibly need. The cupboards were stocked with cutlery, pans, cooking utensils and even coffee! There is even a washing machine and clothesline on the patio.
There are ceiling fans in the living room and a ceiling fan and air conditioner in the bedroom. While the bathroom is small, it is certainly functional. The bedroom has a large king sized bed and plenty of storage, hangers, baskets etc. There is a TV mounted on the bedroom wall. The area is quiet.
While visitors might not be familiar with the location, it is very convenient and the apartment is half a block from the main bus line and there are many restaurants nearby. It's an easy and straight forward trip into Old Town (Zona Romantica). In fact, this apartment is actually closer than if you stay in the so called Hotel Zone. There is a large indoor mall and supermarket a few blocks away at Plaza Caracol.
A really wonderful stay with a great host and I only wish I could have stayed there longer.
