3BR Villa in La Paz

OK, 3 weeks ago

The good thing about the accommodation: Good location, spacious and with cooking utensils. Areas for improvement: Definitely the service. Initially, we were in touch with the co-host and the host for general questions, but then they stopped responding when we asked for a solution after we ran out of water and couldn't use the pool because it was excessively dirty. Although they initially sent some people, there was no adequate follow-up and it was necessary to insist and do things on our own to correct the issue of the lack of water. The pool issue was never resolved; we were only able to use it 1 of the 5 days we were there.

Impeccable, I think one of the best houses I've ever stayed in, the beds were very comfortable, hot water, everything was perfect.

Great place for a family to stay. Safe, clean, and Ricardo was always responsive to any questions or recommendations.

Host Response

Thank you Miguel for the pleasant experience of serving you and your family, it was a real pleasure! Blessings!

We absolutely loved our time at this charming Airbnb in the El Centro neighborhood of La Paz. The location couldn't be better, just a short walk to the Malecon, local shops, Mercado Nicholas Bravo (highly recommended for local cuisine, fresh fruits/meats), pharmacies, and fantastic restaurants serving fresh seafood and local fare. It's quiet and cozy, which made it a perfect retreat after days exploring local hikes and beaches (Playa El Tecolote/Tecolotito/Playa El Merito, Cerro de La Calavera). The house itself was thoughtfully equipped: comfortable beds, full kitchen with a large fridge, and an adequate dining area for enjoying family meals. The pool was a great addition that allowed the kids to hang out and cool off. Our host (Ricardo) was super responsive, providing great tips on nearby spots and ensuring check-in was seamless. If you're looking for an authentic, convenient base in La Paz, this is it. We'd book again in a heartbeat! 5 stars all around.

Great location near the Malecon but outside of the resort bubble! Parking was easy both inside the garage and on the street, and the stay is easily accessible to beaches outside the city (Balandra, Tecolote). The back patio was great for hanging out, eating dinner and lounging in/by the pool. Ricardo was super helpful ahead of time with restaurant recommendations and very attentive during our stay (he lives next door). We had some issues with the solar water heater and only had warm showers on the last few days when it was sunny, but Ricardo was working to get the propane backup heater working throughout our stay. Wifi was too slow to stream anything on the TV, but suitable for trip planning purposes.

Ricardo’s place was excellent. Access to the property was seamless, and Ricardo was a gracious and attentive host. He checked in periodically throughout our stay and was always responsive whenever something needed attention. The home is conveniently located about ten blocks from the Malecón. It was clean, well-maintained, and offered plenty of space for my family to relax and enjoy our time together. The checkout process was also very straightforward. I would absolutely consider staying here again in the future.

The house was a great space for our large group (8 people) - lots of beds and lounging areas. Kitchen was clean and appliances worked. We were disappointed that we did not have any hot water during our stay, we were in touch with Ricardo and he worked to remedy the situation, however, lukewarm showers were all we experienced. The house location is great, an easy walk to downtown and the malecon, where there are so many shops and restaurants! Having a touchpad entrance to the home made it easy for us to go our own ways and get back into the house without waiting for 1 person who would have a key. Large secure parking garage. There is no visible house number out front so it is better to arrive during daylight hours to see the space and the lockbox.

Ricardo is an excellent host and the house is perfect for families. Very comfortable beds, and everything is super clean. We're definitely going back!

The house is nice, large and spacious for our group, it has some maintenance details, the pool does not work, the lighting and the space is quite dark, the shower drains are clogged, and some kitchen drawer doors are loose, a bunk bed is broken, and we had a bad experience with privacy since the host entered the accommodation during our stay when we were not there and showed very little empathy about it, he even called our attention 20 minutes before his quiet time even though we had already planned to turn down the volume, the location is 10 out of 10.

The accommodation is very nice and comfortable, very well equipped and good service. The only thing I didn't like was that on the last day they turned off the boiler. I don't know why they did it, but they didn't tell us anything or warn us. They just left us without hot water to bathe in the morning on the day of our departure. It wasn't that the flame had been extinguished by the air or something, because when we went out to check we saw that they had turned it off. But hey, other than that, everything else was great.

The accommodation is just like the photos, we did not use the pool, but it looked in excellent condition. We had a situation that was out of Ricardo's hands, and he was always attentive, he did everything he could to help us. Our bad luck was that it rained a lot the days we were there and we had some leaks, but Ricardo was able to fix it the same day. Since it's a place where it doesn't rain much, it's understandable that this type of thing happens.

Ricardo was always attentive, he is very kind and the house is super comfortable and beautiful.

We chose this house mainly because there was a pool, but kids only went in the first day. It was not clean and dark at night. Everything else is fine in the house.

Host Response

I'm very sorry that you were left with a bad taste in your mouth. I fully accept my oversight, since I was traveling and could not supervise as usual. But on the other hand, I hope you can understand that this is not a hotel, and maintenance cannot be done every day. It is only done 3 times a week, but there are factors that prevent us from keeping the pool in optimal condition, since guests contaminate the pool a lot with sand, sunscreen, etc. Of course, it is not your fault Ana, but please understand that this is how it works. We cannot do more, but I consider your criticism important to be more aware of the pool. Excuse me for the inconvenience.

Excellent host, friendly, cordial and always attentive, good recommendations.

Ricardo is a great host to stay with. His place is very walkable to the Malecon and part of a good neighborhood and he is very helpful and understanding if you have needs while you are there. We had 3 family members get food poisoning one night and he helped us with fresh laundry and to get soiled sheets cleaned right away. The location is great with only one issue at the apartments next door they have a dog that barks nonstop late into the night. Ricardo’s house has lots of privacy but if you struggle to sleep bring ear plugs or ear buds because it is a city and you may hear the dog or nightlife. A+ rating for this host and the place is really lovely and very true to the description. WiFi is very fast and we greatly appreciated the jug of drinking water. We would stay here again.

I stayed in la Paz for 5 weeks and we had an incredible time. It’s close to so many great restaurants, has a garage for parking and lots of towels and other amenities. The pool and backyard gave a great vibe! Great host too! He was constantly answering my questions and had so many recommendations for us. My kids and I will definitely come back!

Host Response

If you are in La Paz this is your go to home. This was my first time staying at an Airbnb and it was definitely a great experience. This home is beautiful, clean and in a great location. Very close to the malecon. The host is great very attentive, gave great suggestions and all around a great host. Check in and check out process was very easy! I will definitely be staying here when I’m back in La Paz.

Host Response

Thanks Omar, you are very kind, i appreciate so much, you as guest i can recommend you as well!

Ricardo was a wonderful host and his home is so lovely. The space is bright and clean and enjoyable to spend time in and the back patio of the pool was also excellent. We got ready for a wedding there and all of the large mirrors and natural lighting were perfect. Ricardo was responsive to all our needs and we will gladly book this home again :)

Host Response

It gives me great joy to know that they enjoyed their stay and somehow helped in their preparation for their wedding, long life jennie and your partner! 🙌✌️💙

The house is renovated inside very comfortable facilities and Ricardo is always attentive to what is required. Responds quickly. It's very close to downtown and the malecon.

It is a comfortable stay, however the host left us a lot to be desired, we asked for an opportunity to enter half an hour before and it was not empathetic, it made us wait until 3 although he was already in the place. Since we entered the airbnb again “because he forgot something” and in the end he asked us to leave the place 2 hours earlier and wanted to charge us for a camper we supposedly broke when we didn't use the beds for the same thing they were very flimsy. In short, beautiful and comfortable place, bad host.

Host Response

you clearly bothered because you were offended that I pointed out the damage to the camper you said you hadn't used it and I showed you the photo of the camera where there were two adults over 80 kg on the camper and that's why you defamed me by saying things that you know are lies, but well, there are always people that bully and with lack of empathy that are reflected in their own misfortune.

We had an incredible vacation, the house is very comfortable, clean, beautiful, with everything you need. Ricardo is very kind and attentive all the time. I would definitely come back 😊

We loved Ricardo's place! Very good location a few minutes from the pier, very downtown. It has a garage with an electric gate to store the car and the area feels safe. The house is very tidy and with clear instructions, the pool is a plus! Ricardo was always very attentive, very good communication and also very kind, he recommended places, and lent us a hielera that was very useful. We would definitely stay here again, in addition to everything the beds are very comfortable, 10/10 ☺️

Everything was excellent

Host Response

Hello rich, if you think I was not truthful, I would like you to clarify, since for being novice in the topic of accommodations I don't know that I failed! I think I didn't deserve that rating since I never lied and I was always on the lookout for everything, even I was too flexible with respect to the rules that you did not comply like the cleanliness they left in the kitchen and the bathrooms, but well, I think you did not value that the price you gave was much higher than the expectations you had, but well, you can always improve despite always giving 100%. Regards!

Ricardo is such a great host and the home is fantastic. Perfect location within walking distance of the core downtown area. The house is on a nice safe street and has a huge outdoor living space with a big pool perfect for family get together. Ricardo was extremely attentive to any way he could help including letting us borrow an umbrella as we forgot ours in Cabo. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Mil gracias Ricardo!!
