The apartment is just a few minutes away (15 min walk) from the Malecon and is perfect for families and friends that want to come here and stay in a really typical mexican neighborhood. Being outside of downtown, but still close, It has the benefits of being centrally located without the disadvantage of noisy congested tourist streets.
This typical mexican apartment also has a nice view of the ocean and the mountain side. Aside from this, you would be perfectly located near some of the best seafood restaurants that only locals know, like "Ocho Tostadas"!
The space
The apartment has 2 bedrooms: Queen and Full size beds with wardrobes and closets. The kitchen is fully equipped and has all the necessary basic tools for our guests to cook.
The apartment has a Smart TV so you can keep on watching your favorite series on Netflix when you've walked the whole day. Additional speakers are included to make your movies sound better.
The apartment is on the second floor, and on the third floor we have a roof. A table is being delivered, so that you guys can enjoy an outdoor meal or just take the sun.
Guest access
As it is a private apartment, you have a private access and will be able to enjoy all two floors of it. 2nd floor is the apartment and 3rd floor is the terrace, where you can enjoy the sun in the included chairs. BBQ is also a possibility or making a reunion with friends you might have or recently know in Puerto Vallarta.
Interaction with guests
We are more than happy to start making a new wonderful tradition and experience with you, which is why we are available at any moment. As soon as we deliver you the keys, we will explain the basics and the area for a better understanding of how to get around and back to the apartment.
For a better response time, me and my daughter will be available to resolve and answer any questions you might encounter during your stay.
Ultimately, we want to make you feel like home. "Mi casa es su casa".

About the area
Puerto Vallarta
Located in Colonia 5 de Diciembre, a neighbourhood in Puerto Vallarta, this apartment is in the mountains and near the beach. Cruise Ship Terminal and Nayar Vidanta Golf are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Playa de los Muertos and Bay of Banderas. Los Arcos and VidantaWorld are also worth visiting. Scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Jose Luis Lopez
We are a proud family from Puerto Vallarta and love it when we get to know other people who come here and want to enjoy our city. As an almost retired person, i like to spend most of my days taking care of my garden and enjoying my lovely nephews. When this is not the case, i attend my business. I like enjoying a glass of red wine, have some cheese and view the sunset while doing this.
I grew up knowing many tourists and visitors, which is why i like the idea of always getting to know new people and being able to host them. I want you to love Puerto Vallarta as much i do.

Our purpose is not only to rent our apartments, but to actually know and create nice new experiences for our guests! In our two years of experience, we have met so many wonderful people who we feel honored to have met and hosted. We take a great amount of pleasure in being able to provide them with a nice image of our city and a nice experience.
We want to keep meeting new interesting people from around the world and would be more than honored in making your stay as pleasant and smooth as possible.
