Overrated View

This is a large spacious home in a great area. In saying that, we had a MUCH nicer home for less than 1/2 the price last year in Chula Vista. I know - you can't compare the areas, but we had a vehicle so location wasn't that big of an issue. We doubled our budget this year to upgrade the view and get a pool. Sadly, that was a major disappointment.
The "spectacular" view from the mirador is of the neighbours enormous satellite dish and the pool - though clean - was so cold it was unusable.
The whole process was seamless, owners very nice, staff congenial and helpful - but we wouldn't recommend this home at this price.
Owner's Response: The very best views in Ajijic are up on the mountain ( Upper Chula Vista, Upper Ajijic etc.) However, if you live on the mountain you will need to drive everywhere. Lower La Floresta is a quiet, beautiful, neighbourhood, which most consider the best area in Ajijic due to the proximity of restaurants, shopping, markets etc. It also has 24/7 neighbourhood security. As with any other city, prime location will always be in demand and priced accordingly. We believe a short walk to any bar, restaurant and grocery store is preferable to having to constantly use ones car. With regards to the temperature of the pool, you will need to make use of solar blanket on the pool December through February as the nights can be cool. This will ensure the pool is very comfortable.
