Live Like A Local - Charm, Comfort and Convenience
Submitted: November 9, 2011
Stayed: April 2011
Let me start by saying that if there's a better person to rent from than this home's owner, they must be an extraordinary individual. From our very first contact until our very last day, nothing was too much trouble, any minor issues were addressed immediately, and we really felt like she wanted us to feel like this was our home to live and relax in. I really can't sing her praises loudly enough.
My wife and I have been traveling now for over 9 months, and during that time we have rented many properties, and in terms of delivering on what is promised, this rental ticked all the boxes.
The home is in a lively colonia (suburb), with many little tiendas (delis), some great gourmet shops within 5-10 minutes walk, and a handful of high quality local restaurants. It is also a short walk into town, or if you're not into a walk, cabs are always easy to flag down in the nearby main street.
In terms of the accommodation itself, the master bedroom is extremely spacious and comfortable, the kitchen more than serviceable and the roof top view first class, while the small gardens-- lovingly cared for by Angel --provide a serene outlook and attract hummingbirds and other species that are a delight to watch during breakfast or over a quiet afternoon glass of wine.
If you want to stay in a gated ex-Pat compound, then this isn't the place for you, but if you want to live like a local, in a safe, diverse and intriguing part of San Miguel, with a sensational landlord, then ;look no further.
We'd happily return, and we hope you have the chance to experience it's charms.
