Quiet Location with a nice view. Historic property, comfortable and clean. You need to climb some stairs with your luggage but there are landings to rest at and its worth the climb. It is quiet and clean, away from the noise but close to the action.

There are many electrical hazards, including a newer outlet above the shower head in the shower. The water Taste like mold A bunch of the windows Do not work and stay open, so there is only. Air conditioning in the bedrooms.
We stayed the last 2 nights of our 8 day trip in this apartment. It has very cool views out the front windows. The lack of AC in main space is common and didn’t bother us, the AC in the bedrooms worked well. Would recommend new bed linens/coverings etc but everything was clean. No coffee maker but I didn’t mind because learned how to use a French Press. Cute neighborhood with fabulous restaurant and also a cute (locals) bar down the street. I would stay here again.

Could use cleaning and serious repairs
Cleaning and renovation needed. Not properly advertised the floor...5thGreat view from living room
Perfect location with view of water and fort and walkable to everything. We loved it. There are lots of stairs to go up and no elevator. But as long as you’re okay w that it’s perfect for exploring old San Juan.
I reached out to the host awaiting check in instructions - heard nothing until after check in time so we were already in Old Town San Juan having dinner. The host finally responded that there had been a pipe problem and sent us to another place 1 bedroom 1 bath no where near old town. nowhere near Old Town. WHETOWN.
I was stoked to be staying in the heart of Old San Juan, but unfortunately there was an issue with the apartment that required I be moved to a new location. The host was gracious in offering me an equally nice place to stay which was still pretty convenient to where I wanted to explore. Over all, it is unfortunate I couldn’t stay here, but if there is any problems, trust they will be resolved with integrity.
The place was great walking distance to old san juan and the forts .the view from the room is absolutely beautiful

No Water
We showed up to a locked gate and had to be let in by a passing mailman. When we finally got in to the apartment we found there was no running water.. no working sink, no working shower, no working toilet. Our contact Victor, moved us to a beautiful location the next day but this first apartment was rough.
Clean and charming apartment with all that’s needed in a location that’s close to everything! A dream come true!

Perfect for my needs
I just slept and showered here during my stay in Old San Juan. It really wasn't that bad. The air conditioning and the windows leaked a little bit. And I found a roach one night. But the bedding was clean. The towels were clean and I felt safe. Victor was always communicative and easy to get ahold of.The gate instructions on the VRBO listing need to be updated. They were not accurate when I arrived.
Amazing view, great location, had everything we needed besides full house air conditioning.
This is on the 5 th floor (without elevator) ) lots of steps but view is amazing! It has air conditioning in the bedrooms only so the place it self is steamy (but typical for Puerto Rico)
We came looking for a place to stay that was part of the culture and historic feel. This place is it!
Okay I will start off by saying, yes there are a lot of steps until you get to the apartment. With that being said, it’s totally worth it. The views are out of this world.
Great location in old San Juan. Easy access to all activities. Beautiful views of the ocean from the living room. Great space for the family. Parking difficult, but this is Old San Juan it’s difficult everywhere. Would stay here again.

Suited our needs
The location of the property was fantastic. Getting into the building was a bit confusing and the directions for entering the building should be updated. The bedroom AC units worked well, and it was pretty quiet inside the apartment as well.
Small apartment on the top floor that can fit 3-4 people in my opinion. Great view from the living room! Everywhere in Old San Juan is walkable from here. Kind of confusing entry gate, it doesn't lock. That's the only issue I can point out. Nice owner/manager.
This was a charming apartment, amazing views, and a good location. There are a lot of steps to get there, don’t overpack. Neighbors all seemed friendly as well. Enjoy!

The property might have a few rinks and areas of improvement and the 65 stairs are a workout but the view from the living rooms makes up for it.

About the host
Hosted by VICTOR L ALONSO
My name is Victor Alonso I was born in Lima Peru and grew up in Sao Paulo Brazil, Costa Rica, and Cabo San Lucas Baja California Mexico. Live in New York for a few years and finally found my home sweet home in Puerto Rico. I love the people, the culture, the food, and the weather. This is the happiest place on earth and you are soon to find that out!! I think renting a house or apartment versus a hotel is the Smart way to go. I’ll take good care of my guest, providing the best attention I can possibly provide. Be aware this is the Caribbean and things work at their own speed here, which could be a blessing or a curse it all depends on you. I’m very happy and honored to have the opportunity to help you in your rental process and make this trip an unforgettable one. Puerto Rico is full of magic and if you open your mind and heart you’ll find it. I look forward to working with you.
Why they chose this property

Walk the blue cobblestone streets, visit the fortresses and cathedral, stroll by the ocean, and enjoy local cuisine, art, crafts, and music.
What makes this property unique
Walking Old San Juan is ideal; the entire community can easily be traversed on foot. Ubers and taxis are easy to come by. On-street parking is free but limited. Overnight parking on-street requires a resident sticker. However, the Doña Fela parking garage is only a 5-7 minute walk from the condo and allows overnight / longer-term parking for a fee.
