About the host

Hosted by Jessi Harris

Host profile image
Hi, I’m an avid traveler and hands-on host who splits time between Old San Juan and San Francisco—two places I love for very different reasons.

Hosting here isn’t just a business for me—I genuinely enjoy helping guests experience Old San Juan the way I do, from great local restaurants and hidden gems to the history and culture that make this place so special.

I’m always available if you need anything, and I’ve put a lot of care into making each space comfortable, well-equipped, and easy to enjoy from the moment you arrive.

Looking forward to hosting you and helping you make the most of your time in Puerto Rico.

Why they chose this property

Perfectly located in the heart of Old San Juan, this home puts you steps from everything—yet offers a quiet retreat to come back to at the end of the day.

Walk outside and you’re immediately immersed in the charm of cobblestone streets, colorful colonial buildings, and the vibrant energy that makes Old San Juan so special. Top restaurants, cafés, shops, and nightlife are all just moments away.

Spend your days exploring historic landmarks like El Morro, wandering through art galleries, or discovering hidden local favorites. In the evenings, enjoy rooftop bars, live music, and the lively atmosphere of the city—then return home to relax in comfort away from the noise.

Whether you’re here for history, food, culture, or simply to soak it all in, this location makes it effortless to experience the best of Old San Juan.

What makes this property unique

Set within a beautifully preserved 200-year-old Spanish Colonial building, this home offers a rare blend of historic character, space, and modern comfort in the heart of Old San Juan.

Original details like 18-foot ceilings, terracotta tile floors, thick stone walls, and arched doorways create an atmosphere you won’t find in modern construction—while thoughtful updates like A/C, a fully equipped kitchen, and fast Wi-Fi ensure a seamless, comfortable stay.

Unlike many properties in the area, the layout offers both open, inviting living spaces and quiet, restful bedrooms, giving you the best of both worlds: vibrant city access and a peaceful place to recharge.
