This was our first visit to PV and it was incredible. First of all, James was above and beyond when it came to helping us out. We had some odd hiccups when traveling in Mexico. I appreciated James helping us out and staying in contact while we adapted to the circumstances. It relieved a tremendous amount of stress.
The location was perfect for walking the neighborhood, going to the beach, connecting to the Malecon, or catching ubers. The local restaurants are amazing. The small store at the bottom of the hill had fresh made beans, rice, and salsas that we stocked up on regularly. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. The pool was a nice break after hot days. We loved everything about it and would stay her again without hesitation.
Just a few notes: PV has small sidewalks, cobblestone streets, hills, and large curbs. This place is located at the top of a hill that requires navigating down steps regularly. We got our workout in everyday and did not have much of a problem, but could be an issue for someone who has more mobility problems.
Also, the area is very quiet and charming. However, there is a rooftop bar across the way that has nightly performances. They start at 9 and finish at 11. The good news is that I didn't mind the sets and they did shut down promptly at 11, but if you are someone who goes to sleep early-- bring earplugs.
Finally, there is no washing machine or dryer. There are laundry services nearby. We have a packable laundry "machine" bag that allows us to quickly hand wash loads of clothes and hang to dry. We did that for 10 days and it was fine for us.
Otherwise, perfect for an adventurous/active couple looking for a nice place as a base camp to explore PV. We also highly recommend the PV eats taco tour. Thank you again to our incredible host James!!
