The house on Sol Street is absolutely beautiful. It is like a museum inside. The ocean views from the balcony and the rooftop were amazing! The beds were so comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was perfect. It was nice to be within walking distance from so many museums and restaurants.

The perfect place to stay in San Juan

We loved this house. It was beautifully acquainted, extremely spacious and in the perfect location to be close to restaurants and bars in San Juan. I went with a group of 5 girls for my bachelorette and staying here was a major highlight of this trip. Rosa was an excellent host and very responsive with communication throughout our stay.

Perfect Location

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.

I loved my stay at Casa Lila. The owner was great at communicating and provided some local reviews. The house is decorated beautifully and fits the vibe of historic San Juan. City is walkable and there's lots of restaurants/shops in the area. My review of Chocobar is don't go. It's an overhyped place. I took off 1 star because we were asked to remove linens, take out trash and load dishwasher upon exit, which I think for the price she can have the housekeeping do.

Great experience in Old San Juan

We had a great experience, and Casa Lila was a big part of it. The location is exceptional, walking distance from local restaurants, beautiful ocean views, and beautiful neighborhood to walk around and enjoy the historic architecture. The hostess was very responsive and thoughtful. When we arrived the air conditioner was not working in the master bedroom and within hours she had someone there to fix it. If you are planning a trip to PR and want to stay in old San Juan, I would definitely recommend staying here.

This historic home is so unique and well-kept. I loved just walking around and looking at all of the items on the walls. Rosa is clearly a world traveler and dedicated to your comfort.
