GREAT PLACE IN CENTRAL SAN JUAN
This was our second time staying in this house. It is very spacious. The kitchen is full size with everything you need. The Livingroom is very comfortable with a very large smart TV. The two large bedrooms each have a smart TV and the third bedroom has its private bathroom. All the beds are comfortable with plenty of linen and towels. Full size washer & dryer. The backyard includes a large BBQ. Everything you need to be comfortable. Plenty of stores and restaurants within minutes. The hosts respond immediately to questions and are very gracious..

Our stay in Puerto Rico
Our stay in Puerto Rico was great. Location of this house was in a place we felt safe in a gated community, we were close to everything. It was clean and nice to fall asleep listening to the frogs instead of cars. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house.

Orchids and Baseball!
From prompt and thoughtful communication with our hosts, to comfort, layout, cleanliness, and privacy for each of the three of us( 46, 77, and 78 years old) ,this property met all our needs. The futon in the office bedroom was very comfortable, and it was great to have bedside lighting for those who read in bed, as well as overhead lighting in the bedrooms. The outdoor area with Alicia's garden (fascinating for a family from Michigan) was lovely with plenty of shade, and access to the urban forest behind the house with easy trails was an added bonus. Nearby access to major highways allowed us to travel out of San Juan easily to other areas. Take time in the garden to notice all the flowering plants and trees and how they are potted, and watch for the Puerto Rican birds that we don't see at home. We had wonderful conversations with Gabriel about flora and fauna, local restaurants and food, recreation opportunities all over the island, music, history and culture, development of the urban forest, and we especially appreciated advice about the four day San Sebastian Festival (Sanse) that took place during our visit. We came for the Puerto Rican Winter League Baseball Finals and wound up enjoying the welcoming friendly people who shared their stories and culture as well. Thank you so much to the best hosts for adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip.

More than we anticipated
Our stay at this property was very good. The property was very clean, tastefully decorated (with Christmas decorations as well) furniture was very nice and comfortable. The outdoors areas were nice with a lot of plants, you could tell there was pride of ownership with this home. There are many restaurants within walking distance and a few shops. We had a lot of fun believe or not down the street at the Gulf gas station. They have a outdoor bar that alot of locals come to. All extremely friendly. I would not hesitate recommending this property and will stay again.
