Great trip

Everything about this property was excellent – location couldn't be beat, the property was up-to-date and clean, air conditioners worked in the bedrooms, fans only in the main space, just be aware this is in the city so there are no windows in the bedrooms downstairs and minimal upstairs, you can open the portals in the windows in the front doors and natural lighting comes from the canopy ceiling in the patio. We loved our week in Puerto Rico.

Fell a little short

Considering the age of this old Spanish Colonial house, one could tell that an owner spent a lot of money on restoration. Where it fell short was;A colony of ants in the kitchenA mouse trap under the bed which suggested a mouse problemPersistent mosquitos and mosquito bitesMold in the washing machine or drierHot water plumbing with very slow heating rather than electric instant heaters for the showersVery inferior TV reception and tuningHowever a very nice and clean neighborhood and friendly neighbors, and a relatively short walk up the hill to the shops and restaurants

Vacaciones familiares

Todos los años buscamos un lugar para reunirnos con nuestros hijos adultos.Es una tarea retante ya que para ellos es una sorpresa el lugar que escogemos. Seleccionamos esta casa en el viejo San Juan. Es una casita hermosa, acogedora, equipada y con todo lo necesario.La encontramos bien limpia y ordenada. Está ubicada en un lugar privilegiado, al lado de la Fortaleza, por lo que nos sentimos seguros puesto que hay vigilancia 24/7. Está cerca de restaurantes,lugares históricos y a pasos de la Catedral de San Juan. Nuestras vacaciones fueron fantásticas.

We had a fantastic stay for a long weekend getaway! The property location could not be better (close to shops, sights, restaurants) and I especially loved being close to the Governor's mansion as security was present 24 hours (just a nice peace of mind). Rafael was great with communication and you can tell he cares for him property and his guests. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We can't wait to come back!

Amazing location - charm galore

We were five including grandparents and 18yo son.We found the host very helpful and responsive. The rental is as described with much character and charm. The location is excellent on a beautiful quiet street between all the shops and restaurants and the ocean walk and well protected due to its proximity to the governor’s residence. The kitchen is well stocked but bring spices. There is EVOO, salt, pepper and Adobo and plenty of coffee filters. The beds are comfortable but bedrooms have no windows and are small and musty but that improves with the great AC in each bedroom. Only fans in the living area. The region is humid so those with mold allergy should be cautious. Others felt the hot water an issue is prior posts but we had no issues. Very nice bathrooms.Appliances work great (no oven) and Dishwasher, Washer dryer a bonus.We loved the area and do not rent a car! Parking is really tough. There is an Enterprise in Condido you can get one for the day. Uber is great here. Be careful when swimming in rough waves. There is quite an undertow at some beaches and peaceful bays at others.

LOCATION The location is the reason to rent this property, can’t be beat. However the second floor bedrooms will be hard to access for children or elderly or adults with any issues with stairs. It’s a narrow circular metal staircase. I stayed upstairs because the rest of my party were not going to comfortably able to access stairs. Bedding and bed Super comfortable , it’s small but did what we needed. Had everything it stated, I recommend finding a small store ahead of time online for coffee and essentials for kitchen or pack coffee for first morning. WiFi and hot water were slow or didn’t work but the host had a manual for issues. He did work with us regarding our flight delay issues and we were very grateful to him for that.

Exactly what we expected

The house was lovely. It has old world charm in a great location. Accessing the house by car can be tricky as it is very close to the Governor's residence. Inform the guards that you are staying at the house. They will let you through. No complaints.
