Perfect location with balcony overlooking the beautiful Caleta de las Monjas, La Rogativa, old city gate, and the bay. Enjoyed relaxing days drawing the view, sipping wine while the sun set over the bay, early morning jogs with the reward of excellent coffee at Plaza de Armas. Within easy walking distance to food market, shops, museums, restaurants, great music and food at Carli's. Very welcoming, helpful neighbors, and even informal concerts some afternoons. The apartment is comfortable and very well-provisioned from umbrella, to hairspray, to corkscrew. Master bedroom lacks a closet or wardrobe for hanging clothes but we used the rack in the second bedroom which we were not otherwise using.

So much of what the owner, Ms. Santos, has done with this property exceeded our expectations. After all, much of Old San Juan is, in fact, very old (500 years old !). Starting with the spectacular view overlooking the bay from the balcony, this is a wonderful place to stay while exploring Puerto Rico. Equipped with all the modern features we’ve come to expect and an owner who always quickly responded to all of our inquiries. We look forward to returning just to stay here again.

This is the place to stay, it’s everything it’s advertised to be. The location and views are fantastic. Close proximity to all sights, restaurants and shops. In a very safe neighborhood, police presence, all day, everyday. Minerva is the BEST host, responsive, kind, informative, helpful from BEFORE the trip started until the very end. I can’t say enough about Minerva or this location. My family and I would definitely stay here again and again. #10 stars

From the moment we booked I knew this was going to be a great trip for us. The host was by far the best host I have ever had! She informed of us everything about the apartment along with a list of restaurants, places to see, and where to shop with in walking distance. The apartment was exactly as discerned and was exactly what we needed. We did have to get use to no air conditioning in the living room but it was a quick adjustment for us plus the air conditioner in the bedrooms works perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better location. Thank you for letting us stay at your perfect home, it is an unforgettable place and when we return to OSJ we will hope you let us stay here again!

On our lst, and possibly only, visit to Puerto Rico we wanted to spend some time in Old San Juan. The location of this property was appealing with a view of the bay, a sentry box, and the Rogativa statue! We really looked forward to staying there and were not disappointed. From the very first, the owner was very helpful in providing information and recom-mendations. The building is very old, of course, part of the charm of Old San Juan, but with 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, living room and kitchen it is so much more functional than a hotel room. The little balcony above the street was our window on the neighborhood, the weather, and helped us feel a part of it all. We did not have a car there and kept learning more street names and locations of special sights, all kinds of restaurants and fun little shops. We enjoyed returning to our "home" and still being part of the community. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed except more time to stay longer. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Minerva was very helpful both before and during our trip. We were three people: a 90-year-old grandmother, a 67-year-old son and a 32-year-old grandson. It served us very well. The apartment was very large with bedrooms much removed from living areas. The kitchen was well-stocked. The balcony gave us a great view of the park and the harbor, and a large bougainvillea grew up to the railing. I think this would be ideal for a couple with two children who want to cook in sometimes and explore the old city on foot. Highly recommended.

Sitting atop one of both tourists & locals favorite Puerto Rican food experiences (limbers: fruit-infused shaved ices) and sporting a flower-draped balcony overlooking Old San Juan’s iconic La Rogativa statue and the Bay beyond (marvelous sunsets!), we were thrilled that such an apartment in a centuries old building could even be rented! Of good size for the old city, and both well-furnished and well-maintained, we reveled during a week spent there exploring delightful Old San Juan. We can only hope to return soon!

This was our second time in this lovely place and it didn’t disappoint. We were there over Three King’s Day. It’s like a second New Year’s Eve. The town is decked out beautifully and we were close to all of it. In spite of the holiday Luis and Minerva checked in to make sure all was well. As we are the type to spend part of our vacations curled up with a book, this place was perfect, with an unparalleled view. Highly recommended!

The property couldn't have been in a better location with an amazing view. The host was very responsive and hospitable.

Beautiful location with great views

From the moment of arrival, one can't help but feel a part of this vibrant, Old San Juan neighborhood. Right across from the entrance to the Governor's quarters, and with a gorgeous view of the bay, one gets to experience the coming and going of cruise ships, locals, vendors and all who live and work in this area of OSJ, along with the tourists exploring El Morro, just behind the apartment. Walking along the Paseo El Morro quickly became one of our daily enjoyments. Minnie is a communicative and thoughtful hostess, who takes pride in her apartment.

My husband and I would highly recommend staying at this lovely apartment. The location was amazing and the owner was very responsive to all our needs! We will definitely be booking again.

A terrific stay with Minnie as host. Near 3 great inexpensive but good restaurants on Calle Sol, Apartment looks onto Rogativa Statue with numerous colorful weddings during our month long stay. Highly recommended

Host very helpful, apartment beautifully situated watching ships come and go, near Puerto and entrance to walk to El Morro and enjoyed the Saturday Farmers Market (great Olive Bread and Croissants, fresh fruit and veggies). Old San Juan restaurants around corner on Sol are reasonably priced and excellent

This vrbo is just what we were looking for - great view, good location, and the apartment felt like a genuine and unique San Juan experience.

We loved this place and would definitely return. Beautiful view of the water from balcony. Steps away from the governor mansion so very safe. Actually all of the town felt very safe. Short walk to restaurants and shops. Apartment itself is clean, quiet and full of modern amenities. We used Uber when we needed to go beyond Old San Juan. Driving in the town is challenging as streets are narrow and parking is difficult. We highly recommend this place as a relaxing and fun spot to vacation.

Minnie was very easy to communicate with, and was always on top of checking in with our group. We were super thankful that her and Luis allowed us to check in a bit early, as we had a change in our arrival time. Let me just say that this is by far the most accurate property listing I’ve encountered on a rental site. The property is in a prime location within Old San Juan. All of the major sights are within a 15 minute walk. It’s near the ferry port to Cataño. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area; literally any food you could imagine. The proximity to the governor’s mansion means more security/police are in the area, and it’s much quieter than other areas of old San Juan. There are a few things worth noting for other travelers to keep in mind, and they are discussed in the listing: -parking in old San Juan can be a pain. There are nearby lots, I’d recommend the Ballaja parking lot. It’s around $2 for an hour, then an additional $1 every hour after. It’s open 24/7. Parking near the apt can be difficult, spots are very tight and streets are very narrow. Plus many of the streets near the home are residential only, pass reqd. - The A/C is only in the bedrooms. This is mentioned in the listing. We happened to be there during abnormal high temps, and monsoon storms. It was hot in the main parts of the house, but the bedrooms were so comfortable. The fans did offer good airflow throughout the apt, but it was definitely warmer than we liked. Like I said, the listing did note this and we’d stay here again, if the opportunity came. -This is an upstairs unit in old San Juan. It’s just the 2nd floor and the stairs are maintained. Keep this in mind if you’re traveling with anyone older and/or need mobility assistance. Most of old San Juan is cobblestone streets and the sidewalks get slick with rain fall. -Check in does require meeting the host in person. Depending on your preference, this could be good or bad. I appreciated the in-person touch. Last, but not least, make sure you check out Limbers. It’s located under the apt and sells snacks & flavored frozen ice. The ice are cups of frozen juices. Our personal faves were the lemon & fresa china.

The apartment was in a very nice area of Old San Juan making all the sites and restaurants within walking distance. It was lovely to wake up with the bay right out the balcony and interesting to watch the happenings at the Governors Mansion across the street. Minnie was very friendly and accomodating. I would recommend this property without hesitation if you want to truely feel a part of Old San Juan.

Loved this place! Plenty of space for son & I, modern amenities and basically everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect...easy access to everything, beautiful surroundings, and quiet at night!

The property was well stocked with everything one would need for a very comfortable stay. The property is in an excellent location to explore all that Old San Juan has to offer. The owner was easy to reach, had great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The contact person in Old San Juan was more than gracious and helpful. This location would be my first choice to book when we return to Puerto Rico. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in this beautiful home.

This apartment in San Juan is well located and well maintained. It is walking distance to all historical monuments and has a beautiful view. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking gear and the managers were always available when I needed them. I gave only four stars instead of five for two reasons. One is that the gate exiting the building is tricky to unlock. I meant to mention to the manager when I was there that a little WD-40 would probably do the trick! Also, I feel that this unit is best suited to an individual or a couple. The back bedroom is not very comfortable and the pull-out sofa is really not appropriate for sleeping. (I know because I tried it.) That being said, if I return to Old San Juan I would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable apartment, beautiful view and helpful, friendly and génerous hosts! Easy walking to Paseo Princesa, San Francisco street and the wonderful old city! Thank you Vicki and Jose

This property has a perfect location very close to the Puerta de San Juan. The “red gate” gets you to a pathway along the water that takes you to El Morro, a fort built by Spain in the 1600s. It’s also down the street from the Catedral de San Juan and close to plenty of great restaurants and shops. Jose and Vickie are wonderful! They live close by and we’re happy to show us around the neighborhood. They provided umbrellas for us on a rainy day. And Jose is quite the chef! He treated us with delicious soup, fish, squid rice and avocado. Yum! We hope to make it back to Old San Juan again and would definitely stay here.

Every bit as lovely as it looks. Its all been said in previous reviews, but I’ll add this: Vicky and Jose are perfect. They are close and available, but never intrusive or hovering..

This rental was excellent in every way. Great views of the bay, cozy beds and excellent service. Response time from Minnie was fast and Vicki and Jose were top notch. Great restaurant recommendations. You will not be disappointed staying here.

The property was everything promised and more. Doors to the balcony gave a wonderful view of the street, plaza and bay. Good modern kitchen and baths and AC in the bedrooms. The apartment is well ventilated and airy. The location is perfect with easy walking to all areas of old San Juan. Minnie, Jose and Vickie are really nice and helpful and we feel we have a new set of friends in San Juan. We highly recommend this location and will book it again if we have the opportunity to visit the area.
