Ideal location
The bed had a plastic cover without a mattress pad making it very warm, Good AC in bedroom. Showers never got warm, just better than cold even running it a long time as suggested. Couldn’t have a better location being only 1 block from the malecon.

Satisfied
This place is centrally located and within walking distances to most banks eating establishments shopping places Malecon you name it, the place was very nice and clean but the ONLY reason I rated it 4 on cleanliness is that my Sister found a couple of bugs in her bedroom floor alive probably came from outside so maybe owner could fumigate? Not sure if that would solve the issue since bugs are an everyday occurrence in Mexico, only downside is the owner handed me only 1 key and at the time I didn’t think about it but my sister and I had to coordinate the coming back to the apartment because she didn’t have a key/probably my fault because I never asked for another key so my suggestion is if there’s different people staying with different returns times to the apartment then you should ask for at least 2 keys, overall yes I would stay there again.
Apartment is only one block from Chapala Malacon. Walking distance to everything you need in Chapala. Owner owns a business on the second floor (separate entrance) and was very kind and helpful. Two bedrooms. Master was very comfortable with it's own A/C. The bed in the second bedroom is very, very firm. Had to cover with lots of comforters (all provided in the apartment) to make bed less hard. A very nice experience.
