An early Check-in / Late Check-out will always require a $300.00 additional fee.
If you are going to request up grades such as Early Check -In / Late Check - Out this will be done though the link sent via Charge Automations.

MOST ALL OTHER hotels and houses in Old San Juan will require that you to put your toilet paper in a waste bin. If you don’t you will find yourself in serious ____. It’s because they have like 100 year old cast iron sewage pipes that catch everything.
WITH US, you can flush your toilet paper (please be mindful and gentle). We changed all the cast iron with regulation schedule 40 pvc, like we are on the mainland.

This was an amazing property right in the heart of Old San Juan, within seconds of shopping, bars, and great restaurants. The hosts were all great to work with -- if even the most minor of issues arose, they were reachable within minutes and extremely quick to respond. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a very well-done, updated space in a super cool area of the island -- i would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Location - A (in the heart of Old San Juan)Space - A (more than enough room for my party of 9)Cleanliness - A (very clean)Host responsiveness - A (quick responses to questions which was appreciated)Booking process - C (not the same as other VRBOs and there were bumps)Other - Lots of stairs which was only a big deal on the day we checked in and checked out.
We celebrated my 50th birthday with 10 friends at Diamond Vault Penthouse. The location was walkable to shopping, cafes and bars. The condo was perfect for giving people their own living space while still having a lot of common areas to get together to socialize. Would highly recommend!
Overall, I can say it was easy to book, communicate with the host , access the property with no issues. I was A bit upset and confused on how the rooms were set up, the pictures of the description of the house does not show how the rooms are set up in the house. There are not three floors just a large stairway to the entry which is counted as a floor. (Get ready to go up and down ALOT upstairs) There are absolutely no microwaves in any Of the kitchens which was a huge inconvenience. But I can say, anything we need help with there was no issue communicating with Host and getting expeditious response. Also the house was very clean and around a lot of great locations that was walking distance.
