I loved staying here! It’s located in the heart of Old San Juan and it made it super easy for me and my mom to explore this area of the city! Room was super clean and the staff was very friendly and responsive!
We loved this property. It has a great location. It is very clean and close to restaurants and other attractions. The owners were friendly and made us feel home.
Large and airy room on second floor of an old building in the center of Old San Juan. Great (secure) location for walking the city.
Refrigerator, microwave, and sink for minor cooking. Two very big doors open to small balconies overlooking the street. Quiet at night with the air condition on.
Highly recommended for those who like quirky accommodations.
The location was perfect for us to navigate around the city. The room was tidy and check-in easy. The owners answered all questions promptly and we had a great stay.
Charming guest house in great location. The only negative thing is the noise at night and early in the morning

Location was good. Unit was misrepresented as far as amenities. Very poor communication. Loud singing during the day. Nicely decorated and very comfortable bed.
Cute little property. Just showing its age a bit. The downside was the shower- not much pressure and the water only got lukewarm. Other than that it was a nice stay.
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!

I had a pleasant stay at Casa of Essence. There were a few things I wasn't expecting... No hot water in the bathroom sink or the kitchen. The shower was lukewarm water. The tile floors had a shellac on them that was peeling off everywhere so I couldn't walk barefoot anywhere in the suite. The staff was nice...I just feel these issues should have been noted by Expedia

We enjoy our stay and the connivence of being in Old San Juan.
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.
This is a family-operated business and all of the members that I either spoke with or met in person are super nice and helpful. I highly recommend this property!
Room smells like bird poop from bird cages outside door to room. There is a huge window with no curtain because it is high up, but at night the hall light make it look daytime in room. Room light are not efficient so during the day it is very dark. No storage and much smaller than the pictures make it appear. The only positive is the location. We have stayed in old San Juan every year for the last 10 years an this was the worst stay yet
The host was excellent , very responsive, and provided helpful recommendations for places to eat and visit. We appreciated how easy the check-in process was, and the communication was seamless throughout our stay. Our stay at Cada of Essence was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect – close to everything we wanted to explore . The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home.
