Loved the property and its great outdoor spaces, especially the upstairs Palapa surrounded with blooming flowers. The shared pool is very clean and inviting. It was very quiet the whole time we were there. The air conditioning and ceiling fans in each room is welcome. We ate out most meals except for breakfast, but the kitchen is a nice space. We walked everywhere day and evening and felt safe, to all the restaurants, beaches, Mercado. It is hilly in places, but taxis are everywhere and very affordable. Look into downloading the ap named WhatsApp, as that’s how Maria (the property manager) likes to communicate as well as tour guides, etc. Caitlin and Maria responded quickly to my inquiries. I’d suggest the property provide a hair dryer, as it’s a bulky item to travel with. Thank you, we would definitely return to this property and Puerto Escondido.

The property was really lovely. Great neighborhood. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Be prepared for lots of hills. Check in was a bit chaotic as we arrived late and had to wait outside fo 25 minutes for Maria. Not a big deal we were just really tired from travelling.

Such a wonderful spot. Close to all beaches and restaurants. We walked everywhere! Loved the palapa and pool areas too. Ate all our meals up in the palapa and yoga there every morning. So restful and welcoming.

The architecture, tile work and domed brick ceilings gave a really nice Mexican feeling. Check-in was easy, kitchen well-equipped, beds comfy, plenty of closet space, and having the shared pool was a terrific plus after a day in the heat. The roof palapa was a lovely too. Our disappointments were the inconsistency of internet availability, low water pressure and lack of good hot water.

Can’t say enough great things about this property. Loved the traditional Mexican look and feel of the property. We spent so much time in the upstairs palapa - the view is wonderful. We enjoyed the pool and getting to know the other owners. The home was clean and the AC was wonderful after being out in the heat. We loved the proximity to the beaches and restaurants- we walked everywhere. When we needed any help the property manager assisted us in getting more water and propane for the stove and hot water tank. We loved the stone pathway at the end of the street to get to the beach!

Great owner, great property manager and staff! Quiet part of town . Absolutely perfect.

We had a lovely stay in Hidalgo. Very well provisioned apartment with a wonderful shaded view from the upstairs porch and a nice shared pool. Easy walking distance to the best beach in Puerto Escondido if you are not a surfer. Very accurate description of the apartment. We are a couple in our 70's and found the neighborhood to be great -- a little funky but completely safe. Our only wrinkle was on pricing. Friends stayed with us for a few nights and the VRBO published rate didn't reflect full cost. This is a glitch that we assume can be easily fixed. All in all, great vacation and great space!

We really enjoyed our stay here…we felt really safe in the residential neighborhood. We could walk to some great neighborhood restaurants (definitely have sashimi at La Morena) and to one of our favorite beaches, Manzanillo. It was also easy to catch a taxi within a few minutes walk. The area is close to the main town , the Rinconada, and our fave Playa Carizalillo and the amazing restaurant Espadin at the Villas there. The shared pool was wonderful for cooling off after our outings and we even chatted with some of the permanent residents of the complex, who were very welcoming. Our favorite thing was to take our coffee up on the private rooftop in the mornings. The beds were comfy and there were lots of extra towels, including beach towels. The washing machine was CLUTCH and everything dried easily on the clothes lines outside . A couple cons; we never really got a warm shower and the oven did not work…but we were able to use a toaster oven instead. We couldn’t get the tv to work to watch a movie one night (the remote battery was low). We were there as parents and a teen daughter, and the space was perfectly sized for us, especially with the outdoor spaces. The owner was slow to reply to a couple of my questions before our trip, but check in was great with the property manager. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you want an authentic experience of Puerto. If you are someone who is more comfortable at a resort than this would not be for you. The house is in a real neighborhood…there are stray animals, huge potholes in the road, litter…but we prefer this kind of stay to a resort. Just something to consider. All in all we definitely recommend a stay here.
