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!

Great location and condo!
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.
