Room was small but had everything you could need. We were not there to hang in the room so it was not an issue. The patio made it feel bigger. We enjoyed morning coffee sitting there. The bird aviary below balcony was a nice addition to the lovely building. The room was very clean and in a great location. Would definitely stay again

Location was perfect. In the old San Juan everything was walkable. Lots of restaurants, cafes, bars, shopping and tourist/must see spots. We stayed in the Patio room, nice ambience, room space ok, bed comfortable, there was fridge and A/C working great. The room was clean, tv works, bathroom/shower the hot water took awhile especially for early shower but there was hot water. Communication with the owner great, responded timely.

This place was a little gem in Old San Juan. The room was absolutely tiny, but we weren't in it much. We had our own little interior patio right outside our door, not a balcony, which was perfect as we didn't hear any of the local nightlife on a busy Fri/Sat night. We were an easy walk to the cruise port and also had easy access to all of Old Town. I loved it and we would definitely come back again! I just wish there was some actual coffee to go with the coffeemaker.
