We stayed in Puerto Vallerta in the beginning of January and it was unseasonably warm (85F most of the time). Condo is decently sized with two good sized bedrooms. Main condo has a mini split air conditioner and the bigger bedroom has one as well. The second bedroom can get a little warm/stuffy and its tough to get the air conditioning into that room. A small $5 box fan would fix this easily, and I've recommended this to the host. Really the host's daughter Karla is what makes this place stand out. She is super responsive and accommodating on Whatsapp. She speaks excellent English and is 1st class all the way around.
Location is decent. Its only a 5-10 minute walk from the beach, and a 30 minute walk from the Malecon. We enjoyed walking, but we also Ubered if it was late at night or we were running late. Ubers are only $1.50-$2.00 USD at this time, so a really good way to get around.
There is great street food around this apt. Some of this street food was better than the high priced meals we splurged on. I highly recommend checking out some of the "wet" tacos and other taco carts that spring up within blocks of this apt. Overall the quality was better here, than in downtown.
The terrace is extremely nice and comfortable. I highly recommend making some coffee and spending a couple mornings on the terrace. Nights can be a little difficult with mosquitos, so buy/bring some bug spray and take your chances. We got eaten alive one night, and didn't want to risk it the rest of the trip.
Recommendations from the host were mostly spot on. Local breakfast place was very good and charming, Barracuda is a great place to drink/eat on the beach, smoked fish from Rio Grande, Tacos al pastor (near Barracuda) was excellent. We didn't try the sushi place or the seafood burrito place. The only big miss for us was Lagostina. Its very touristy and overly expensive for subpar overcooked lobster/seafood with subpar service.
Outside of the host recommendations we had good luck with Gaby's, River Cafe and Taco Memo. Margarita grill has pretty tasty margaritas and good atmosphere, but the food was so-so. We were unimpressed by "El Arrayan". We were unable to try Cafe des Artists as they don't allow kids. Last suggestion would be to visit a charming art shop called Olinalá. Authentic mexican art, very cool.
