Great Location!
I have always wanted to stay in Old San Juan but with a family, it’s hard to find a place that is large enough to be comfortable. Well, this place was comfortable and more! It was so unique, with a beautiful courtyard between the kitchen and living room areas and first bedroom with a bathroom. The courtyard has steps that lead to two more bedrooms and a second bathroom. The location is very close to the San Sebastián street, El Morro, and many areas that both tourists and locals will love to visit, and can easily be accessed on foot. Parking is tricky, as the Balllaja lot gets full often, but we were lucky to find street parking. You have to look for street parking fast and early, especially on weekends. You won’t be sorry if you book this apartment for your family. Enjoy the old city!

Heart of Old San Juan
Beautiful place to stay if you are looking for an authentic Old San Juan experience. Located near the highest point in Mercado on a beautiful blue brick street. Parking is an easy 3 minute walk away. Ocean views from the front doors of the home... Incredible stay with three comfortable bedrooms.

Terrible communication and dirty, but good location
Property owner did not share exact location of property with me until 4 hrs prior to check in, despite my multiple requests.
Rental was uncleaned with spills and garbage all over the floor when we arrived to check-in at 4 pm. Neighbors from the adjacent unit rushed over to clean it up. They questioned which unit we had reserved, but were unable to understand more about the situation from them because they only spoke Spanish. When I called the owners, they claimed the cleaning crew was almost finished - when they clearly had not even started.
The furniture throughout the unit was stained and broken. The chairs in the patio area were unusable because they were busted in the seat, and the pond was dry and messy. There were stains on the ceiling and several cracks and holes in the stucco on the walls.
On the plus side, the location was terrific, easily walkable to anything in Old Town San Juan. The nearby bars and clubs are very noisy late into the night, but the sound from the a/c window units hides it fairly well.
