Meh

The staff was very helpful to accommodate the but there were many issues. The building is not easy to find due to there being no sign. Room smelled of light mildew. Overall, it served its purpose but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Convenient, clean and comfy

Check in went smoothly without a hitch and the location is perfect for exploring OSJ and the nearby Castillo. The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean, if a little tight. We were only there to sleep though so tight quarters were not a problem. Waking up to the sounds of birdsong was a pleasant surprise. Conveniently close to good music, restaurants, and attractions.

This location is convenient to the Plaza Colon. The staff were fantastic and very accommodating. The host really helped out when I found two ladies just outside looking for their accommodations that turned out to be bogus. So our host was able to accommodate them even though it was REALLY late at night when I sent the message. The apartment we stayed in was clean and comfortable. There is even an (ancient) elevator that we used for our heavy luggage. Wonderful visit!

It is a quirky hotel but has lots of character. We stayed in the patio room which is pretty small. There are actually birds and fish in the lobby. Good location

The property was very nicely decorated and had two gates for security. While there was no front desk, the on-site manager could be contacted through the host. There were some bugs but the on site manager left me a spray to use, so things were manageable. Great location to get to everywhere in Old San Juan.

Very nice apartment unit on the 3rd floor. We stayed at the Crystal Apartment. Because it is Old San Juan we could hear the people downstairs as there is a bar adjacent to this building, till the early hours of the morning but we knew that would be a possibility because of its location. The bedrooms, living area, kitchen/dining and bathroom were all really nicely decorated. Only thing was that I would suggest better Cleaning Staff, when we got in there was chewed gum placed on the wall behind the sofa and used dirty napkins inside one of the decorative pillows on the same. Aside from that it was a great place and also cute building for picture session inside and out.
