A beautiful experience
We had a fantastic stay for a long weekend getaway! The property location could not be better (close to shops, sights, restaurants) and I especially loved being close to the Governor's mansion as security was present 24 hours (just a nice peace of mind). Rafael was great with communication and you can tell he cares for him property and his guests. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We can't wait to come back!

Old Town Family Weekend
Visited family in Old Town for the weekend before heading to the beach! Such a great location with everything you need a walk away. The property is classic Old Town nestled in the heart of it all. Would definitely stay again if we return to San Juan.

Fantastic place to stay in Old San Juan
My family and I stayed here the week before Christmas and totally loved the place and the Old San Juan area. We stayed for 4 days during which we took in all of the historical sites (del Morro and San Cristobal, fountains, restaurants and shopping). We walked everywhere! One day we did a day trip to El Yunque to see the tower, waterfalls and swim/eat at Luiquillo beach. The house was located close to everything. The air conditioning units cooled us off from the hot days and everything else was great. Lots of room to spread out, watch tv and relax. I would totally recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Old San Juan. A couple of notes for improvements - could use another couch as my family of 5 had to use a couple of the dining room chairs to watch tv, the shower hot water only ever reached luke warm even when running it for a while and the queen bed downstairs was extremely creaky when getting in/out and anytime my husband or I moved during the night.

Perfect place on a perfect street
Comfortable and clean. Convenient and quiet. My words cannot describe this charming 2 level place. Beds comfortable, air conditioning worked great. Washer and dryer were useful. Kitchen was well equipped. And it is a stones throw from the governors house and police garage! we always felt safe. I hope everyone who reserves this place has as much fun as we did! No need for a car. Spend money elsewhere!
