This home is for long term rental, meaning at least 6 months. The actual rent is 5,500 pesos per MONTH which is aproximately $440/ month.
My wife, and I along with our 2 children have rented this house for this school year. We are leaving June 4th, 2011 and as a favor to my friendly Mexican landlord I'm listing this and due to the fact that this is a great home, great location and a great price that you won't find on the internet. My wife and I found it when we were down here in person last July.
The home comes with furniture and we have bought quite a few things for the kitchen that we are leaving. The view is very, very nice looking at the bluffs and is South facing so we stayed warm all winter long, unlike many other folks we talked with. The home also has a sun room , a porch on the top floor where the bedrooms are and a small front patio. It has one full bath, another bath has toilet and sink and the other bath has a shower and toilet. It's very private, with only a little street noise.
You do have to climb 4 sets of steps to get to the house and there is no assigned parking. The parking is random on the street. There are always workers on the street, who for 40-80 cents will be happy to carry groceries etc.

Again, we have NO financial interest in this listing. It is only our way of trying to pass on a great deal and what for us, has been the best possible place. It's location is on Avenida de la Presa, halfway between Escuela Normal and La Presa de la Olla (the lake). This is a 10 minute walk to Jardin Embajadoras and then 10 minutes further along brings you to the very center of the city, Jardin Union. The street that we live on is one of the most secure areas of the city and buses run about every 10 minutes between our house and go through the entire city.

If you are looking for a VERY American type home, this is not the one for you. It's clean, comfortable and all our guests that come in, immediately say how great it is, BUT it's not new and the floor tiles have some cracks and chips, as well the tiles in the kitchen do too. The upstairs shower doesn't have much water pressure but works fine, where as the bottom floor shower works great, but is a small space. So, there are little things that you have to be willing to say that this is Mexico and not the US., and if you are able to do that, then maybe this is just the place you are looking for.
