Perfect for my needs
I just slept and showered here during my stay in Old San Juan. It really wasn't that bad. The air conditioning and the windows leaked a little bit. And I found a roach one night. But the bedding was clean. The towels were clean and I felt safe. Victor was always communicative and easy to get ahold of.The gate instructions on the VRBO listing need to be updated. They were not accurate when I arrived.

Amazing location
Perfect location with view of water and fort and walkable to everything. We loved it. There are lots of stairs to go up and no elevator. But as long as you’re okay w that it’s perfect for exploring old San Juan.
Clean and charming apartment with all that’s needed in a location that’s close to everything! A dream come true!

Great location
Amazing view, great location, had everything we needed besides full house air conditioning.
This is on the 5 th floor (without elevator) ) lots of steps but view is amazing! It has air conditioning in the bedrooms only so the place it self is steamy (but typical for Puerto Rico)
We came looking for a place to stay that was part of the culture and historic feel. This place is it!

Old San Juan Apartment
Small apartment on the top floor that can fit 3-4 people in my opinion. Great view from the living room! Everywhere in Old San Juan is walkable from here. Kind of confusing entry gate, it doesn't lock. That's the only issue I can point out. Nice owner/manager.

Beautiful Location
Old San Juan is stunning and this property fit right in. It is a charming apartment! We never did determine which lock box held the keys to the property - we tried them all without success. Luckily the gate was unlocked and the apartment door had a punch code lock. The apartment could use a good cleaning, one of the front windows fixed so it can be opened for more air flow, the check out instructions on VRBO and in the apartment could be updated to match each other and new, unstained mattresses in the bedrooms. There was so much to see and do in Old San Juan!

The views are incredible
Okay I will start off by saying, yes there are a lot of steps until you get to the apartment. With that being said, it’s totally worth it. The views are out of this world.

Suited our needs
The location of the property was fantastic. Getting into the building was a bit confusing and the directions for entering the building should be updated. The bedroom AC units worked well, and it was pretty quiet inside the apartment as well.

Wonderful views
Great location in old San Juan. Easy access to all activities. Beautiful views of the ocean from the living room. Great space for the family. Parking difficult, but this is Old San Juan it’s difficult everywhere. Would stay here again.
The property might have a few rinks and areas of improvement and the 65 stairs are a workout but the view from the living rooms makes up for it.

Things to understand about this unit
To begin with, it is important that anyone renting this unit understands what is in the disclosures and that there is no elevator, and it is 63 steps to the unit from the street. It makes checking in with luggage a challenge.
Also, if you’re coming from the commercial section, there’s about a 300-yard steep uphill climb to Sol St.
It was difficult to unload as there is hardly any parking places available on the street, even during the day.
Parking overnight in the nearest garage as an additional cost of $27 per day.
Only the bedrooms are air-conditioned.
On the good news side, the view from the living room opening is spectacular. Both forts are within walking distance as is The Museo de Las Americas, which I highly recommend. The nearby restaurants are all very good.

Before cruise!
It was extremely hard to get in and out as the keys to the gate didn’t work due to rust and age. We were assisted quickly! The view is beautiful as pictured. The beds were very comfortable. We had a great time walking around Old San Juan. The towels definitely need to be replaced and the apartment needs a scrub down for sure!

Great spot in Old San Juan
Great simple condo in the perfect location in OSJ. Direct view of the ocean is a real treat. Two comfortable beds with air conditioning, and a well-supplied, functional kitchen and bath.
Apartment wasn't clean when we arrived, but that was quickly sorted by a text to the owner and a visit of the cleaners.
There are lots of steps up a dingy stairwell, but they lead to a sweet little pad in a perfect location.

Great Location !
We enjoyed the location of the apt. , which was very spacious. Easy walks around old San Juan. Bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom & kitchen had everything we needed for a short two night stay. Our host was very responsive to my questions, and prompt on their reply.
Thank you
