This is a lovely villa in walking distance to do much. The communication with the host was very fast. We had a great stay!

Great stay here! Everything in San Juan was walking distance. Good location for visiting the fort. It was spacious and the A/C in the individual rooms was great. No issues there. Stay here if you want to be in the heart of it all (live Spanish music coming from the streets, etc.) The showers were a little weak (but that's typical in Latin America) and it can get hot in the unit before opening windows and doors but wow -- that Caribbean sea breeze is so refreshing! One thing I would suggest is a large oscillating floor fan for when it's not breezy. Oh -- and about the infamous spiral staircase -- haha it wasn't bad and really only 1.5 to 2 flights (the first flight up is actual stairs then you take the spiral stairs to the top unit). I would compare it with a lighthouse staircase. But it (and most other rentals) is on the top of OSJ, which is all inclined. So there is basically an uphill walk for 2 blocks but it's not bad at all. When you leave the location, turn right and walk downhill for a great breakfast spot (Cafe Manolin). There's also a SuperMax grocery store 6-min walk away where we stocked up on water, snacks, beer, rum, etc. Plenty of bars around the corner. A pharmacy a couple blocks away. Everything you need. I'd definitely stay here again!

Overall we liked the apartment, but there we some issues that I think people should know. Good: --Location is great. --outdoor space was nice to have. As expected, there is not any good view, but the air is nice.--kitchen is nice--the king bed is very comfortable--had no issues at all with outside noise other than what should be expected in a town with tight roads. In fact, the back bedrooms are very quiet except for some occasional noise from the central courtyard. Bad--the spiral staircase is tight, and is between the entrance door and the living room. It is required on every entrance/ exit of the apartment. --One bedroom is in the living room with glass walls. I did know this going into the rental. --the other bedrooms are smaller and have very limited natural light. one has no window. the other has one small window facing the interior courtyard. --the second bathroom sink has no hot water at all. Management said that it is not hooked up. --the outdoor cushions are pretty moldy--the bed in the glassed in bedroom is not comfortable. --could use more/ better seating in the living room and outdoor space. Weird- --there is a walkway connecting the living area and the two back bedrooms. This goes across a central courtyard with lower level units that are rented. There is a living area with a bathtub/ shower. We did walk across once while a man was showering (nude) in the tub. There is a pretty dense screen, limiting the view, but...
