Summary: Our first trip to Puerto Rico our stay at Casa Lila was amazing. The ocean views from the bedroom balcony and rooftop were fabulous. The bedrooms decor was beautiful and the beds were comfortable.There is a spiral staircase to the upstairs that could be challenging from some.There is a couch that pulls out and small shower and toilet downstairs It is a short walking distance to historic area , shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend the owner was very responsive for any questions

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay here. I traveled with my mom, husband, and two kids, and the house was perfect for all of us—spacious, beautifully designed, and with a stunning ocean view. We had coffee on the balcony every morning and wine in the evening. It was peaceful and relaxing, but still close to great restaurants, shops, and everything we wanted to see. The host was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend.

Summary: We stayed for 5 nights, in town for a wedding. Pros:1) Gorgeous views, both the master bedroom patio and rooftop deck were amazing, stunning! It was one of the main reasons we chose this property.2) Location was fantastic, (another main reason) right next to the historic fort in Old San Juan, walking distance to everything. Family that either stayed or visited Old San Juan stopped by and just loved both the location and views. Great restaurants/cafes all within a 5 to 10 minute walk.3) Rosa was lovely, gave us great recommendations for dining.4) If you love antiques and art, this place was loaded with super cool things. Our daughter loved it!Cons:1) Spiral staircase was treacherous, 22 (or more!) steps. We’ve stayed in a rental home with a spiral staircase (so thought we’d be ok) but this one was much higher and rather unnerving :/2) Beds were not the most comfortable for us, on the hard side and bedding was not great. An upgrade in the mattresses and bedding would have gone far.3) Bathroom off the main bedroom was ok, vanity and mirror had seen better days, drawers falling out. Not a lot of options for storing your toiletries.Not cons but wanted to note: Step up and down from bathrooms and closets. We were ok, but could be concerning going to the bathroom late at night. Don’t think it was noted in the listing so wanted to mention. Also, I am very particular about cleaning, so wasn’t the cleanest for me, but for most I’m sure it would be fine.

Summary: There is hardly anything more than I can add to all the great reviews here, but thanks. Thank you Rosa for your kindness. She and her husband helped us when we were lost. We will always be appreciative for your generous hospitality and how you personally welcomed us into your home, which is lovely and in keeping with old world charm. The views are magnificent, the ocean breezes were personally exhilarating, and the location could not be more ideal for those who come to fully experience Old San Juan.

Summary: Casa Lila is situated in the perfect location in Old San Juan. The view from the rooftop deck is incredible, great for enjoying drinks and listening to the waves. Restaurants and bars are all within walking distance from the property. The house itself is maintained in a style reminiscent of its history.The parking situation worked fine for us, however those with mobility issues may find the walk from the lot a couple blocks away to be challenging. The street itself is narrow and parking is quite limited so it is necessary to unload one's bags quickly and move the car. We hope to visit Old San Juan again and would definitely stay at Casa Lila.

Summary: I cant say enough about this property. Before we even arrived the owner was so helpful in fininding some of the best places to eat and shop. The house itself is modernized to include all the creature comforts in an absolutly stunning OSJ row home in the best location. No car needed ! The rooftop deck was our favorite place to be when not exploring the city. Beds were comfortable and linens were just what we were hoping for. Kitchen had everything you would need to eat in. Staying here was one of the highlights of our trip ! home with the beat best views

Summary: If you want the feel of historic San Juan but want to have a view of the ocean while on vaca, this is your place. Host Rosa was an amazing communicator and set us up with a tour guide and good dinner recs, tho I have to say we had amazing food everywhere in the city, including at “Carli’s” and “La Madre”. Home is lovely and beautifully appointed. The only challenge for us was sleeping in the warmer temps on the second floor the one night the ocean breezes didn’t move any air. This place is truly the best of everything and we highly recommend!.
