Summary: Very reasonably priced, an artist’s house in an outstanding location, very unique, an experience in Old San Juan living in a large open plan first floor residence. Artwork everywhere, stone/tile floors, en suite with a stocked kitchen with fridge, microwave, electric stove top. Just one note : no AC but comes with fans. Bed is super comfortable. Mozzies a bit of a factor. Our hosts, siblings Rosa and Luis, were incredible. Rosa checked in with us a lot. My own communications with Rosa were very open and friendly indeed. There is an outstanding open tropical indoor garden, replete with exotic plants and my favorite, a little coqui who charmed me to sleep nightly with his sweet calls. We would eat breakfast out on this indoor patio/stone floor garden area. The house is that of a major PR artist. Artwork greets you. There is a lively bar scene next door but the location, OMG, the location is amazing. San Sebastien with the best mojitos on the corner of San Sebastien/San Jose is known by all in PR, it seems!! Or at least to all Uber drivers we used! You are close to amazing restaurants on Calle de Sol, San Francisco, San Justo. Spiga and Manolin for incredible breakfasts. St Germain, El Almacen, La Madre amongst the many many incredible choices within 5 minutes walking. I recommend it. It rained a lot during our week long stay, we remained nice and dry.

Summary: The apartment was perfect! The open air floorplan with all of the tropical trees and plants in the courtyard were so beautiful and unique. The apt was incredibly clean and simply decorated. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better. This is our third stay in Old Dan Juan and this was the most charming and special place we’ve stayed. The mosquitos were a non-issue (didn’t even need the net). It rained every night and we left the doors wide open. No problems. The sound of the rain, one sweet sounding bird, and some music next door, lulled us to sleep every night. If you are used to quiet Hiltons with AC, TV’s and lackluster style, this is NOT for you. So please don’t book and then leave a bad review because you couldn’t handle the cool factor. Xo

Summary: This property is in a perfect location in Old San Juan -- a short walk to the Basilica and El Convento Hotel. The rental consists of most of the first floor of a historic Old San Juan building . You enter the rental after passing through a large entry hall that evokes the feeling of an art gallery. The rental unit has a very large bedroom with an adjacent sitting area, and a kitchen / dining area, all overlooking a beautiful courtyard. The courtyard is for the exclusive use of this ground floor lodging. We had beautiful breezes that swept through the gallery, through the courtyard, cooling our rental. The lodging provided everything we needed for our two-week stay. TThe host is gracious and responded immediately to our request for a new coffee maker carafe as the one we originally had leaked. Our host could not have been nicer. We had a great stay and look forward to returning to this property.

Summary: I am attempting to be succinct but this is the most thorough review I've left behind. And I only leave this here b/c this place has soooo much potential but it feels neglected, like a second though. And that's evident by how slow the host responds from abroad.The location is great and the unit has such great bones and outdoor courtyard but it needs a refresh; cheap ac unit, new bug net, new sheets and towels (think of a 17 year olds 5 year old towel), and new rugs. This would all cost a few hundred dollars and completely change the comfort level. Those were the biggest gripes, along with the vicious bugs (which may be addressed with cheap screens or even nailing some netting on the door holes). See below for more detail.Check-in/gettin in and out: Front door requires jiggle, exposed wire you have to squeeze hand through to pull latches. Unit: Could easily have nets or screen doors to allow more ventilation. Desperately needs new bug net, towels, sheets, and rugs. More storage or furnishings would liven up the unit. And a cheap air unit with an exhaust hose would do the place wonders and keep everything from being moist/humid, and importantly would not require unscreened doors to remain open that allows bugs in.I appreciate the stay, the place, and location. But it was a bit heartbreaking to have a place with such great potential have the most minimal of comfort.

Summary: The apartment is located in the heart of Old San Juan and the location was just amazing. Everything is in the range of 1-10 minutes of walking. The outdoor veranda/garden is very cute and a very good experience to have. The L shape concept of the apartment and the openness is unique.
