Charming Water View Vacation Home, Colonial Center/Old Town

Casa Myito is without a doubt the most amazing, uniquely authentic place I have ever stayed at… anywhere in the world. I’ve been to Puerto Vallarta around 7-8 times at this point, and this is now the only place that I hope to book in the future. I couldn’t believe how beautiful everything was when the lovely Tere (casa manager) first showed me around. The unique architecture, open air, artistic touches, the warmth of the barrio… it was an experience I will never forget. Now I dream of taking an extended stay here someday.That said, this property is not for everyone! If you are looking for a classic sterile, hotel experience, set away from the liveliness of a real, working neighborhood, this is not for you. If you are limited in mobility, you’ll need a taxi to get up the hill. If you are a very light sleeper, it might not be for you (I am a fairly light sleeper myself and earplugs are perfect, I did not have an issue). The neighborhood is alive and beautiful.But if you want to feel like a local, you want to escape from the ordinary travel experience, to immerse yourself in the local culture, and get lost in the beautiful experience of a PV that is disappearing in parts… there is no greater option than Casa Myito. It is a great workout getting up and down the sometimes steep, but incredibly beautiful streets of Centro (again, taxi will do you well if there’s issues). Several very cute cafes/restos are within steps from the Casa. Walkers paradise. ¡Casa Myito, Volveré!

The house is very cute, right in the heart of PV, 4 blocks from the malecon, and several tiendas and restaurants just a few yards away. The kitchen is well stocked with all types of supplies to make meals at 'home.' There's a fun hanging swing chair in the living room, and a super balcony to hear the fireworks every night and smell the ocean air. The open air concept is pretty cool, with a tree/plants right in the middle of the courtyard. Bring ear plugs however if you're a light sleeper - PV people (and dogs) don't sleep much! Anna and Tere are so nice and helpful as well. We would love to come back soon!

The Casa is great! It has a well-stocked kitchen for preparing meals and cooking. A full bathroom with hot water. A shower with good water pressure that worked great once you got the hang of it. All good. It wasn’t super clear on the website, but part of the inside ceiling is actually open air with a metal grate covering it. So it’s kind of like living outside. To be honest, it’s a bit like glamping, except you have a good kitchen and bathroom, and you don’t have to sleep on the ground or on a cot. The beds were firm but comfy. I noticed other reviews about the rain, but there was none while we were there so it was not an issue at all. There were no bugs or critters inside. I felt safe in the neighbourhood even at night. Sure there was traffic noise and music playing, but it was not constant and did not bother us much. When we were there we spent most of our time on the balcony — dining, reading, planning, hanging out — with the cool breezes and views of the neighbourhood. All in all, a great place for a budget price. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

The house was nice! However, my husband looked up on VR Bi-o and he said it’s only five blocks from the Malon. I guess that’s correct but he didn’t say it was 1 million stairs to get down to the Kong and I’m blind so it didn’t work very well. Also, the owner emailed me and said she’s mad because I got locked out the first night because I went out on the porch to smoke And she said there’s no smoking in the property manager gave me a broken glass or broken tray to smoke there is no door knob if you go outside do not shut the door! Also there is no soap there is nothing provided if you need washcloth or bath soap please !
