Convenient Location

This location was perfect for my business trip. Was able to do what I went there to do and have some fun as well. Close to everything, the beach, the market, restaurants, and shopping.Was going to rent a car and didn’t need to. Only complaints,was you can really hear the wind blowing inside Once the balcony door was open And balcony door did not lock. Tho we didn’t need the tv I couldn’t manage to get it to work. Besides that maybe some Simple updating.The view makes up for it all! Lionel was great checking in with me and when I had questions and concerns. Will definitely consider again if in the area.

Unbeatable Location

The listing accurately describes the rental. For half the cost of staying at a hotel, we got a great location with 24/7 security. The unit has a kitchenette with good sized appliances. The bathroom floor plan worked well for my family (3 adults). It has a powder room with large closet that leads to a door with the shower and toilet suite. Since the building is a mixed use property, the lobby has a hotel feel, with the new bar nestled between the two lobby entrances. For those that need to have a pool, check the day pass at the San Juan Hotel & Casino. It’s literally, next to the ESJ. Restaurants, bars, and grocery store (Pueblo) are walking distance. The beds are comfortable and even have extra storage (the closet and chest drawers were enough for the 3 of us). It was a delight to rent from Lionel. The building is undergoing renovations but the price of the rental does reflect the nuisance.

Great Spring Break

The location was great, super easy to walk to the grocery store or places to eat. The beach was easy to access and wonderful to both swim and lay out at. The unit was super clean and the perfect size for what we needed. The balcony was super pretty as well. Overall, had an amazing experience at ESJ Towers!

Great room, great location

Staying at this room at the ESJ Towers was great. Everything from the shower to the kitchen was immaculately clean. (I know because I lost a pin to my watch and had to crawl around on the floor to find it!) The air conditioning was top-notch -- which was important because it was 90+ degrees just about every day. From the very beginning, the owners provided everything I needed and needed to know plenty of time before my vacation started. The location of the ESJ Towers is perfect. Literally just a just a few steps from a nice quiet beach -- not too crowded and it felt quite safe. The water was a perfect temperature and jumping in the water was a wonderful relief after getting just the right amount of sun. There are plenty of stores and restaurants (local places and some big chains) within walking distance - even a 24-hour market. Just about everything else is a short Uber away! If you're thinking about renting this place -- do it! It's the perfect combination of staying in a big-time hotel and renting someone's home. Five giant starts and big thank-you for this place!

Great

Easy access to the beach, great view, clean room, a handful of restaurants within walking distance, and a supermarket is a 15 min walk away. For the most authentic Puerto Rican dishes, I recommend driving 15 min (lots of traffic) to the neighborhood of the New Reef. The new reef area is a lively scene and has a strip of local eatery's.

Hotel needs repair

The host was absolutely wonderful and communicating and checking on us throughout our entire stay I will say however the hotel is in bad need of repairs the pool isn't available everything is dirty the game room most of the games don't work there's a bar and a restaurant and a cafe advertised just being located on the site of the property none of these things exist or are open again the property manager was wonderful but when I come back I will not stay here again I can find similar accommodations with a pool and a spot etc for roughly the same price point

Look no further...

Loved, loved, loved this property! Very comfortable studio apt that could accommodate at least 4 people. Everything you need is at your disposal. Full kitchenette. We made our own breakfast every morning, which we ate on the balconey with a spectacular view of the beach/ocean on one side and airport on the other side. My daughter and I would sit on the balcony at all times often and would watch planes of all sizes landing and taking off. Distance to and from the airport in less than 5 minutes. Restaurants, supermarket and lots of fun places to explore. The beach, steps away with private access. The owner, Mr Kaufman was in contact with me before, during and to the end of our stay. Any questions or concern he was just a text or phone call away. There is some remodeling construction going on but only during the day and to honest, I didn't even hear them and it didn't stop us from enjoying our stay there. Thank you Lionel, hope to be back again some day.

Great location!

We loved the location of the place. Close to rental car places and right on the beach. Easy to access the highway to go other places like the ferry for Culebra or the rainforest. If there was anything I'd change I would have liked a couple more towels and a couple extra blankets. We stayed 9 nights and there were 3 of us with one towel each. So we had to do laundry halfway through the stay and it was expensive. The blankets on the bed are very thin and would have liked a extra. But besides that it was perfect!!

About the host

Hosted by Lionel Kaufman

Host profile image
We are retired teachers. Lionel retired as a full professor at the University of Puerto Rico. Sally retired as an English as a Second Language teacher at Buchanan Army Base in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We are both English-Spanish bilinguals. Lionel was born in New York and Sally is from Cleveland, Ohio. Lionel likes tennis and boating. Sally like walking the beach and Yoga. We lived in Puerto Rico for over 34 years and now reside in Sarasota, Florida. But we travel to the island frequently. People calls us “Gringo Ricans” since Puerto Rico has been so much a part of our lives.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property back in the middle 1980's, not only as an investment, but also to have access to the beach since our house in Rio Piedras was several miles from the coast. We are one of the original owners in the building, and even today, some 30 years late, we pride ourselves in maintaining one of the most updated apartment in the building.

What makes this property unique

You can't beat the location--on the beach, located between two major Hotels and Casinos, the El San Juan Hotel and Casino and the Ritz Carlton Hotel and Casino. This is a condo-hotel (1/3 hotel, 1/3 time share, and 1/3 private owned apartment). It is unique in that you experience residing in a privately owned unit while you can enjoy all the amenities of a major hotel. And one other advantage: It is the most secure location of any condominium in San Juan.
