Good area, apartment a bit run down and the shower curtain looked like it hasn’t been changed in quite some time. Comfortable beds though.

Everything very nice and clean. There is no permanent staff manning the front desk, but they are a call and a couple of minutes away. The area, Puerta de Tierra, is very safe and within walkable distance to El Viejo San Juan. Only complaint: at arriving, on Thursday, I let the front desk to know that it was my wife birthday the following Saturday, and ask for their help to prepare a small surprise for my wife (that I was going to pay for). The following day I was told that the owners, due to their religion, do not celebrate birthdays. I found that a weird reason. It is their religion, not mine, and I didn’t want them to celebrate anything, I was the one celebrating my wife birthday.
