Fantastic location in Old Town. Super cute apartment.

Prime location in the eastern part of old town. This makes it easy to take a cab in and out. it was great to have an elevator in the classic old building. Air-conditioning unit cooled the bedroom well. There was a fan in the kitchen and another in the hallway that helped cool those areas. Windows are older and didn’t close all the way. But it was not a problem—we had no issues with bugs coming in. Overall, it was a great stay. We enjoyed the very cute garden theme and comfortable bed. The fact that the shower room is separate from the toilet/sink room works well for multiple people.. Super cute kitchen! Very quiet place on the 4th floor. Super responsive host—my questions were answered within about 20 seconds every time. Amazing!

Bathroom door needs a little love in order to shut all the way. But not a big deal. I would definitely stay here again.

Recomiendo este departamento

Llegamos temprano y nos dejaron dejar la valijas y así pudimos salir a pasear hasta la hora del check in. También que tiene ascensor. Es un dpto super silencioso y muy bien ubicado.

Como sugerencia les diría que estaría bueno que dejen algo de azúcar, sal, aceite un poco de café, en fin si tu estadía es de 2 días no se puede salir a comprar nada.

Overall we enjoyed our time and made the best of our sleeping arrangements. It’s ok for a couple to stay in this apartme

We like it’s proximity to everything centralized in Old San Juan.

The apartment was smaller than what appeared on the site and the bathroom had a bad odor emitting from it (like something sour or moldy). Also the part doesn’t sleep more than two. The futon was located in the middle of the hallway and didn’t allow for any room to move around. The recliner sofa was broken so you could recline the seats.

Very good

The decor was beautiful! The room configuration alllowed us to utilize the AC unit in the living room space.

It would have been nice to know prior to our stay that parking would be an issue. Indoor sigbs to designate stairwell would be helpful.

We had a delightful stay at Casa de Essence. Crystal was very responsive and a great communicator. She offered great suggestions and was accommodating with our luggage after checkout. The apartment was nicely decorated with a unique charm. We would definitely return again.

close to everything yay

very close to everything in Old San Juan. clean. nice and easy check in.

The windows in the bedrooms didn’t have curtains so it was never dark in the room (either lights from the outside or sunlight came in, making it hard to sleep). it would have been nice to have some very basic kitchen stuff (coffee filters, salt and pepper, oil or some sort of cooking spray…), there was no fan in the shower room so it didn’t ventilate well, no toilet brush… just some basic things were missing. most places I’ve stayed at also offered coffee or tea or a bottle of water. these are simple things that could have been better.

please see above comments ;)

having the entire apt with different and important living spaces. VERY kind hosts, easy to get a hold of and communicate with. bright and cheery. TV set up. security of 2 locks at the entrance. elevator. plants.

window coverings in the bedroom to block out the light during night time please. NO hot water. sadly water was slightly warm at best. Thermostat on the water MOST DEFINITELY needs to be turned up. the only reason facilities and comfort did not rate the highest is because of these two important things. the only other thing is the birds....I hope they do get more flying space very soon :)

Would not recommend

location

Misrepresented on Booking.com, dark, dingy and stuffy. Windows couldn’t be opened. Plastic flowers and plants and cheap knicknacks everywhere. Pateo shown on Booking.com was untidy and really small. Barely space for table and four chairs AND shared by 4 apartments.

Wonderful place to stay inan enchanting

This property is exceptional because of his owner or manager, the person who always promptly and efficiently answered all my questions and concerns. He did not lie only once. He always delivered and overdelivered. The apartment was impeccable, the location is excellent. It is located in the Old San Juan, placed that I loved because of its architecture, its friendly people, and its excellent culinary arts. My stay was superb, much better than in Las Vegas at the Hotel Paris. I am very grateful to Casa of Essence and to Old San Juan for my wonderful spring break, Thank you again. Everything was perfect, even the taxi driver picked me up on time. He was also very reliable. If you want to have a marvelous vacation go to Old San Juan and stay in this amazing property.

I liked everything.

it’s was great

the location

The kitchen lack of ventilation. When we cooked, all the vapors and odors after preparing the meals stayed for too long in all parts of the apartment. We suggest the owner install a hood in the kitchen and add a window.

Over all it was a great place to stay, near restaurants, shopping, and tourist spots.

There were no physical keys, just security codes to get in the main entrances and the room itself. I liked that it was all contactless.

The shower water never got hot, however, taking a shower was not uncomfortable, just not what I am accustomed to back home.

Not Worth It

Self check in was smooth. Location is good, They kept our luggage after check-out until our flight.

This apartment in no way can fit three adults, the sofa bed is in just in front of the bathroom and can not fit an adult. There is only one AC which is in the bedroom. The apartment was full with insects and was not clean. The apartment has no windows. Zero privacy if more than one person is staying. When we asked to cancel the remaining nights our request was denied. While the location is great, do not waste your money here. Plenty of better options.

Nice place!

The location was fabulous, right beside a grocery store and beside the taxi stand in Plaza Colon. We loved the garden room with its view of the sky through the transparent ceiling. The place also has great security.

The only negative for my daughters was that the shower water wasn’t cold enough:) for me that was no problem.

We loved the bottle of Champagne set out to welcome us. There is a cute little bar and kitchen inside, which was convenient. It was in the perfect location downtown. Near all of the restaurants, souvenir shops and grocery store. There is a small futon bed that pulls out in the hallway....it made for a unique and fun little sleeping area for our kids (4 and 8).

There were a lot of bugs and ants, likely due to the number of plants inside and the general humidity of San Juan. Our kids were unbothered by that fact.

Disappointing

I liked the area.

My familiy and I stayed at the Casa of Essece this past weekend and we did not have a good experience. On the first night, we noticed the hallway, rooms, and eve chairs were soaked with water. Aside from that, the recliners did not work and were wet. We were also disappointed in the lack of cleanliness throughout the room. There were no extra blankets, very little soap/paper towels. Also there were several stains on the sheets and pillows. Save your money if you’re thinking about staying here. Not worth it.
