Fabulous location but be warned it’s a typical OSJ apartment - very narrow three story walk up. That said, the views were absolutely worth the effort lugging up my admittedly overpacked suitcases up those three flights. The photos on the listing are old, meaning the kitchen and bathroom are in desperate need of updating and refitting. If you can deal with some wear and tear, then the price can’t be beat. I’d stay here again. It was spacious, clean, and worth every penny.

We had an amazing stay. It was placed in a great part of Old San Juan. Allowed us to eat, visit, and shop comfortably. We had easy access to and from the airport. The staff was friendly, the coffee was delicious, and the roof top was enjoyable! Definitely recommend staying and enjoying the city!

A literal stones throw from San Cristobal!!

I rented this apartment on accident, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The place was amazing. It was so close to San Cristobal, and just a short walk to Del Morro. You won’t be disappointed.

Big problem with ants. Needs updating inside. Only one key and you had to have key to come OR go because you could not open from the inside without key either, which is really hard with a group who won't necessarily be together all the time. The bed in the balcony bedroom groaned and sqeaked with every single move anyone made. Has a stove, but nothing to cook on it with, and no microwave. No hot water.

I will start with the good stuff. The location is amazing…literally across the street from San Cristobal. And just being anywhere in Puerto Rico is magical. The unit itself is really big, the bed is huge, and the bedroom has a built in hammock. Also, the front desk staff are very nice. The bad - the check in process is a little confusing…the keys are in a hotel couple blocks away, and we got our keys and went back, only to find our unit wasn’t at the address listed, but on a wholly different street. But most importantly, like others mentioned, the place is a dump. I know it’s old, so it could be rustic or shabby chic, but it’s just gross in so many ways. Yuck. But it didn’t take away from a wonderful time in PR.

Ocean Views - It is an old building so you cannot expect perfect conditions. The main bedroom was also the living area, comfortable very large bed and good air conditioner. There was a 2nd bedroom that wasn’t needed by us but was good for drying the washing as it was so hot, in warmer weather it wouldn’t be possible to sleep in there. If it rained too hard water came under the door in the very hot room, but bath towels helped. The fridge and cooker were excellent, minimal cooking utensils. The stairs to get upstairs were narrow but doable by us. Great location, fantastic views. I would stay there again if the opportunity came up.

Disliked: Amenities
Extreme lack of attention to detail. We booked the place because a kitchenette was described and the pictures clearly showed a microwave and coffeemaker. These were missing! We were also not given towels and could not get in touch with management. We were thankful that the hotel where we pick up keys were willing to give us towels. Everything is just a bit neglected. The bathroom could use a functioning curtain and rod system. Multiple lamps were either broken or had bulbs burnt out. The oscillating floor fan didn’t work. I’ve tried to contact management about a discount and cannot reach anyone. This place is in a good location and could have been a great stay if the amenities described were actually provided. The bed was comfortable. The balcony was lovely and the location was perfect. Overall wish we would have booked somewhere else to get what we paid for.
Broken fan
Notice the microwave and coffee maker are not present.

Check in is a nightmare they should do a lock code on the gate and a lock box on the apartment. There is no parking you have to go to a different location to check in again no parking it’s down town old San Juan crowded narrow streets. People yelling at you the desk clerk telling me at 2:30 check isn’t til 3 and it’s insane there is no way I was getting back around and to the apartment by3:00 anyway. There are two glasses one pan no salt pepper or any supplies only coffe no tea and enough toilet paper for ONE day we were there Three. The ONLY THING that was good was the view. A total wreck of an experience

We liked the convenience of walking around Old San Juan and dining around the area too. We liked the view very much. The building is old and needs updates on windows, doors which are not very secure, and bathroom is outdated and tiny. Also, we suggest disclosing the fact that the building has no elevator as we are older and had to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor on a very narrow and deeply inclined staircase.

Address on this property is incorrect. The address is 413 Calle Sol. The building is older than pictured. The kitchen and bathroom had ants but this is common in old buildings. The windows opened onto the inner stairway, the front windows were barred closed. The positives was value for money, location and huge size. The bed was new which was great. Couches are stained and shower is small.
