About this apartment rental

Our beautiful home exudes the charm and magic of Old San Juan while providing luxury & comfort for guests. The perfect spot for a couple or work/vacation visit. Our reviews tell the story of a safe and comfortable spot to stay in. The first thing you will notice is the lack of a "lock box" but personalized attention, you are greeted by Veronica and/or her hubby Luiscito.(Unless we are accommodating an unusual time) They are a wealth of information regarding places to go, events, eateries and activities. Walk by the limbers vendor on the first floor (quintessential Old San Juan!) up to the second floor and enter the apartment. The living room opens to a beautiful balcony overlooking La Rogativa with breathtaking views of the San Juan Bay. Comfortable sofa, TV, dining table and chairs, sideboard and artwork fill the main living space. The renovated kitchen features stainless steel refrigerator and apron-front sink, custom-built pantry and cabinetry. Hallway leads from kitchen past a half-bath to the enormous master bedroom, with very comfortable queen bed, nightstands, dresser and love seat. Continue from the master bedroom past an office nook / study to the full bathroom with custom-tiled shower. The second bedroom rests in the back, furnished with a daybed ( two twin beds) and dresser. The many windows and an interior wall of frosted glass allow the entire apartment to be filled with the light of the Caribbean sun! The breeze from the bay cools the house accented by the overhead fans in each room. There is air conditioning in the bedrooms. This spacious ( for Puerto Rico) 1200 foot apartment is in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Old San Juan. There is NO smoking in any areas of the apartment even the balconies. We also do not allow pets due to severe allergies. This quiet upscale neighborhood is one of the safest in Puerto Rico. Directly across from the Governor's mansion there is 24 hour guards! We cannot allow any parties as this is a residentlal area. Quiet time starts at 10PM. A Walk around the corner and you are facing the Cathedral, El Convento and a few steps take you to Plaza Del Armas, supermarkets and our favorite "the Poets Passage" where you can find unique souvenirs. For the shoppers there is Ralph Lauren, Coach, El Galpon (hats), Burberry and Guess! Fine jewelry can be found at E Barquet or Bared. Puerto Rico has a rich tradition in crafting hand-rolled cigars so try the Cigar House. History filled sites such as El Morro, San Juan Cemetery, El Yunque is a world famous rainforest, La Fortaleza are a must. Many beaches such as Carolina Beach are clean, safe and the caribbean water is warm and clear blue. The beach in isla Verde is beautiful and 20 minutes away. Fishing, water skiing, horseback riding, Jet skiing , snorkeling are all within a half hour ride. Escambron beach is a 20 minute walk 5 minute drive, I would recommend the "try Diving" . There are maps and brochures with information regarding activities, places to eat and famous sights. If you are looking for a safe area and want to experience the beauty of Old San Juan this is the place for you.

This apartment is a wonderful, central location in Old San Juan. We literally woke up every morning, opened the shutters on our balcony and looked out over the beautiful blue bay. And because it's right across the street from the entrance to the governor's residence, there are police stationed nearby 24/7. Not that we felt unsafe in Old San Juan at all -- we felt very safe walking around, even after nightfall. The apartment is well stocked with kitchen supplies and toiletries (even sunscreen). Ceiling fans in the living area kept it cool (it rose to the mid 80's during our March stay) and ceiling fans/air conditioner kept the bedroom comfortable at night. It was great to be able to have just a short walk to the grocery store, pharmacy, tons of restaurants, gelato, gift shops/boutiques, etc. The hostess, Minnie, was exceptionally helpful with her recommendations for restaurants and beaches. Highly recommend this rental!

We were looking for a place in Old San Juan that wasn't hotel with all the things you would need for a week long stay and this fit the bill. From the living room with the ocean view, to the kitchen with everything you would need to prepare coffee, breakfast and if needed, lunch and dinner, to the bedroom with an A/C unit to keep us cool while in Puerto Rico during the humid days even in December. This place had everything and was walking distance to all restaurants and sights in Old San Juan. One thing you don't need in this location is a car. Not worth the hassle.

Immersed ourselves in the history, culture, and beauty of Old San Juan. Property is as described. Owner is wonderful with communication as is the caretaker. The master bedroom is generously sized. In the apartment, spent most of our time watching happenings on the bay and streets via the living room and open balcony. In the kitchen, we used the coffee maker and refrigerator, walking to the nearby market to get a few supplies. We ate out for most meals to sample local foods, but the kitchen was fully stocked and could have been used for meal prep. We loved it and would rent again!

This home is incredible! We didn't know just how lucky we were to have chosen this VRBO over the others we were looking at!!! This is thee standard for an amazing vacation. The architecture is gorgeous, people watching on the balcony was so fun - we even watched a wedding take place right there at the Rogativa monument across the street. There were at least 4 to 5 police officers posted on every corner around you because the governors mansion is right there, literally the safest street in Puerto Rico! The a/c kept the house nice and cool, the Limbers icies downstairs were so good and only $1, we were constantly eating those the entire trip! The home was well stocked with toiletry items, kitchen essentials, all kinds of books to read, beautiful artwork and furniture, the neighbors were so kind, I just couldn't get enough! I can't even list all the details we were so pleased with. Minerva was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. We will definitely be coming back to this gorgeous home!!! Best Anniversary trip ever!

This was a super cute place in a fabulous location. It was so nice to stand on the veranda and see the city, fort walls and ocean. Lots of fun thing within walking distance. The hosts were very responsive and nice. The master bed is huge. The second bedroom is pretty small but cute. Loved feeling like a local!
