From road 150 headed towards the canyon turn (sharply) left onto road 230. Follow 230 until you see the 'Hacienda del Valdez' sign on your right. This is a dirt road and 4-wheel drive is required. Follow the road up the hill. The condo building is on your right (the 3-tiered building). Park in front of or to the right of the building and follow the middle red staircase to Unit 10. Your studio is one of the three located inside.

Summary: We stayed a couple of night at this property and really enjoyed ourselves. The bed and couch are quite comfortable and it was nice to have all of the streaming services provided on the TV and Wi-Fi available. If you want to do cooking, there is only an air fryer. But that is clear in the description, so it was not a surprise. Overall, it was a great experience. We would stay again and recommend to others.
