The property is located in a perfect area for partying. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby and it’s a walkable area. Also the room was nice and clean. I had a little hiccup when I tried to check-in however, I can’t blame the host for various reasons. I highly recommend the property and would definitely stay here again.

We booked this property line looking good review but it is overrated and many comments can be fake. In fact, room is way too small and only one bed and another couch even though they charged us for premium two queen beds for 4 of us. Escalator is too old and scary. Room was smelling bad. There are far more better hotels nearby. Definitely not recommended.

The property was very comfortable. I stayed at 2 different units, The Tropical Apartment and it was gorgeous and very spacious. Full equipped kitchen, but AC at room only. But the weather was nice and no issues w/ that. I also stayed at The Patio Room, it was much smaller, but AC throughout. But, not having a kitchen was not ideal. But, overall comfortable, but not as nice and cute as The Tropical Apartment. I highly recommend the Tropical Apartment, for a bit more you get much more space and kitchen. It’s close to everything in old San Juan (San Sebastian area). Bars, restaurants and a lot to do walking distance. I loved it! There is parking near by if you rent a car. (Highly recommended to explore the island). I would definitely stay here again.

Great location in Old San Juan
We ended up in the Garden Apartment, which was nice but overall a little stuffy and dark (minus the garden room during the day). The floorplan was a little strange, but the owners did a nice job with trying to make things as comfortable as possible. The space was clean and we loved the location in Old San Juan. Customer service was excellent on our arrival day when I called regarding early check-in or bag drop-off, and we were provided with a travel crib for our baby. We would certainly stay here again.
