In real estate, its all about location, and there could not be a better located unit. Fairly close to old Mazatlan (easy cab ride, about $3, and there are endless cabs cruising up and down at all hours), and right across the street from the beach, this unit had it all. Make sure you visit the food places on the beach, right across the street, for incredible mariscos! There was a fully stocked kitchen with full size appliances, and an OXXO a couple blocks away and a Ley grocery store about a half mile (50 pesos each way cab), so we cooked breakfast each day at the place. All nights were spent hanging out on the balcony, watching the endless stream of cars and people walking along the malecon, and checking out the amazing sunsets. As far as the interior of the unit, in most cases, the real thing is not as good as the pictures; it is the opposite with this rental. The furnishings are quite nice, and the pictures do not do it justice. The main bedroom shares the balcony with the living room, and the bedroom in the rear of the unit has the two twin beds and on-suite bathroom. The management at the place was responsive, polite, and professional, so that was nice too. Overall, it was top notch! The only negative (if you view it that way) is noise. The streetside location is a double-edged sword, because there is lots of traffic and all cabs seem to be blaring music. This all contributes to the overall vibe and is great for people watching. The noise, of course is just a side effect of that and didn't bother us, but if you are looking for quiet and tranquility this place isn't it. This could be improved by installing some sound/light blocking curtains, as the room was quite bright at all times because of the streetlights or the sun. I would definitely stay here again!
