It is not touristy so you will experience what we and all other local families experience. Please talk with us about anything that might be of interest or of concern. Chelem is a safe, family friendly town. Across the street from your apartment is the town baseball diamond. This provides many opportunities to see daily life for townspeople. In all directions, there are plenty of streets to walk, meeting locals all along the way. Parking is street side, and very safe. Numerous restaurants are located within walking distance that cater to both the tourist and the residents who live here. -We operate a restaurant next door. It is separate, but at times when we host a band (once a week in winter, occasionally during other seasons), you may be able to hear the music. Music always ends before 10pm. For most, the restaurant is a great place to meet others and learn about Chelem and the area. We provide towels and linens and ask that care be shown to keep items in good condition. There is a laundry business across the way if needed. For long term stays, we can help you arrange for a local to clean should you desire (very reasonable prices and the opportunity to meet townspeople) or we can provide basic cleaning items (bucket, mop, broom, towels- you purchase chemicals of your choice). We take care of all outside areas but keep your home private for you. -The apartment has air conditioning in the bedroom. IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL PRICE. Electricity is very expensive at the beach and so this is an option if needed. Some require it, many others do not. A lot depends on the season and where you are from. We charge a nightly use (only those nights used) and require it be used for sleeping only (no 24 a/c is available). Please ask us any questions regarding this. A/C is not available in the winter or spring.
