We're a couple in our 50'swith a small, quiet, old, deaf dog, looking to rent afurnished house or apartment in Centro, Playa Norte,Playa Sur, etc area for 3 months, around 1st November till end January.

Nothing fancy. It needs to have bathroom,kitchen,hot water,working stove and fridge, and at least one bedroom (double or queen bed), though anyextra space would be appreciated. As we'll be driving down, we'll need parking close to the house/apartment. Somethingup to $400-$500 or so per month price range preferably.

We havebeen to Mazatlán several times. Last time down we bought a block of land in Playa Sur, and at some stage in the next couple of yearswe'll bebuilding on it.

We need to move on this in the next couple of days as we have found a studio apartment available, but would prefer something with a bit more space.

Many thanks, Sheryll and Steve, Oregon

Apartment in Centro (25 Sep 08)

sheryll, my name is oscar and i will be heading to mazatlan in about ten
days in order to finish furnishing and remodeling an apartment/condo i
recently purchased on Calle Angel Flores, near the Comision Federal de
Electricidad - about 2 blocks from the CFE.
the apartment is a 1-bedroom. it has a new refridgerator which i installed
when i was in mazatlan about a month ago. i will be installing ceiling fans
and also have plans to install a washing machine -- i would also like to
install a clothes dryer but am not sure if space will allow. i will be
purchasing a bed -- nothing smaller than a full size mattress. it has hot
water.
the apartment is on the 3rd floor. it is in an older apartment building
which was recently converted to condominiums - a total of 6 or 7 condos
makeup the building. the tenants/owners are long-time residents of the
building and are either families or retired elderly mexicans.
i am asking $500 dollars per month rent and this will include all utilities.
as far as parking goes, when i was last there in mazatlan, i stayed in the
apartment and was parking on the street and had no problems. i believe
there are "pensiones" near by (walking distance from apt) if you'd rather
not park on the street. i will look into this as soon as i get back.
if the stairs are not a problem for you, your husband and your dog, i
believe the apartment will fit your needs.
if i have forgotten to address anything in this email or if you have
additional questions, please let me know. ---- oscar lipchak, (512)444-3173
