We stayed for the full month of January. My wife and I are both in our sixties. We found the property to be just as we had hoped. Convenient location in a wonderful , friendly , safe neighborhood.
The accommodations were all clean and useful . It is not a luxury type accommodation, but for our stay it had all of the conveniences that we needed. It is a safe , clean and comfy home away from home. It is a short walk to: restuarants , bars , shops , the beach , the north end of the malecon , a very large food market and venues. We were initially concerned about the climb up towards the condo. The last two blocks are pretty steep . We adjusted to it within about two days , then it actually became the exercise that we needed . You are not at the top of the hill , there is a neighborhood above . Dozens of folks and families walk it every day. There is a small conveniece store one block away. Non stop buses that can take you downtown or anywhere 3 blocks away. The beach is maybe 6 or 7 blocks away.
All of vallarta is within reasonable walking distance . We walked and enjoyed everything . About every other day we chose to grab one of the many taxis at the bottom of the hill to take us up to the apartment. That taxi run is a common one , as of 2024 the cost was only about 50 pesos. ( under $3 US). A few blocks away there is also a collection of magnificant Art galleries.
The owner of the property is next door and is wonderful.
Thank you for a great experience!
