A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BOOKING:

1. This is a home, not a hotel. Please treat the property and your neighbors with respect at all times.

2. Events and parties are strictly prohibited.

3. This is a smoke-free and pet-free property. A $500 fee will apply for smoking or bringing animals onto the premises or into the apartment.

WATER. POWER & INTERNET
Please note that Old San Juan (and Puerto Rico as a whole) occasionally experiences temporary power, water, and internet outages. These disruptions are usually resolved within a few hours and are simply part of life in the Caribbean. While we cannot control these occurrences, we remain hopeful that the island’s utility providers continue making progress toward a more resilient and reliable infrastructure.
