Great location, comfortable, especially staying cool in the apartment. We felt very safe. (Beds could have been a little more comfortable.) Overall, we loved staying here.

There was no WiFi, no parking, holes in the wall that allowed for noise to travel at night. The neighbors were complaining for no apparent reason. We’re adults. We’re on vacation. It may get a little noisy at night. Bring your own wash cloths. We had to buy ours. The owner does communicate but it’s usually to complain.

I loved staying here! The property is in the middle of everything; (almost) everything I wanted to do was in walking distance. I always felt safe and secure in the apartment. Everything was clean and comfortable. My only complaint about the apartment would be that the soap caddy was rusty. Besides that, everything was wonderful and I would definitely stay again.

Ralph and Raquel were so kind and accommodating. They explained parking limitations and ways to get around. They allowed changes to reservation while we planned our trip. They brought me my forgotten kindle to our second location which saved us a big hassle. Just a lovely trip.

Thank you, Ralph. for your prompt and gracious communications and answers to any inquiries both before and during our stay. Rachel was a warm and informative hostess. Both were very accommodating to any requests we made.
Our one daughter, her husband and their two year old stayed with us in #2 apartment while our other daughter, her husband and their 14 month old stayed above us in apartment #3. It was a wonderful convenience and arrangement for all of us to visit together.
The apartment was welcoming and historically fascinating. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Although the apartments are located close to busy streets it was very quiet. The little guys were not disturbed by the festive December activities on San Sabastien Street.
We loved spending morning coffee and evenings together on the open air patio. The rentals are located in the heart of Old San Juan and close to amenities (grocery store, laundromat and shopping) as well as the many tourist attractions in this UNESCO Heritage site.
We highly recommend these rental apartments and look forward to returning.

Ralph and Rachel were wonderful hosts, meeting us as we got out of out taxi! They welcomed us and showed us how the locks work on the front door, then showed us around the apartment. It was a spacious 2 bedroom, living room, and Kitchen space with the historic thick walls. The beds were comfortable and towels were plentiful. We enjoyed the outdoor patio for our breakfasts and enjoying the quiet to do some reading. This apartment was quiet and away from the noises of the city. We loved the location because of how close everything was: the fort, the restaurants, the grocery store and the shops.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our seven nights stay at this lovely apartment in Old San Juan. Our intentions were to stay put in Old San Juan and explore the old city on foot, no auto needed. The apartment was exactly as advertised, clean, and modern. Since it was just the two of us the two bedroom was more than spacious. The modern kitchen was useful in the morning for cooking breakfast before we set out on our daily excursions. Air conditioning in the living and small bedroom along with ceiling fans were enough to keep us comfortable during our stay. Our favorite was the beautiful patio where we sat in the late afternoons enjoying our wine before leaving for supper. Our hosts, Ralph and Raquel, were wonderful. They were on hand when we arrived and guided us through the particulars of the apartment. The made themselves available to us and answered all our questions about the apartment and the area where we were staying. This is where we will stay on our next trip to Old San Juan.

Very nice property in Old San Juan
We really enjoyed staying in this property. The owners were immensely helpful. The property was clean and very comfortable. The location in Old San Juan was ideal for local touring. There was a special charm in staying at a beautifully renovated 1805 house. I have already recommended the property to friends.

Wonderful stay in Old San Juan
Two of us stayed at Ralph's beautiful apartment and absolutely loved it. Ralph and Rochelle were very easy to get in touch with, very hospitable, and kept the apartment in great condition.
Wonderful place to stay during vacation. Beautiful, safe, and fun neighborhood...yet plenty quiet and private from the lively streets of OSJ. Would absolutely stay here again!

Everything was perfect - from beginning to end.
Can't say enough good things about our stay in OSJ. Ralph and Raquel were there at the start of our vacation to show us around their beautiful apartment. They made sure that we were comfortable with everything before leaving us with both of their numbers, just in case. The apartment was very clean and tidy with plenty of towels. Little details, like hand/dish soap and paper products, make a big difference when traveling. It was nice being just a couple of blocks from Plaza de Armas, and still the apartment/patio was so quiet in the evenings. We love staying out in the old part of the city, and we couldn't have been more pleased with their apartment.

Convenient Viejo San Juan Apartment
Firstly, the historic apartment was located in a convenient location in Viejo San Juan. The surrounding streets are great for walking around, site seeing, shopping, food and bars. It literally throws you right into the charisma and life of Viejo San Juan.
The apartment greets you with a hallway boasting grandiose ceilings in the foyer area. The apartment itself is spacious. The accommodations allowed for five adults to comfortably share the space between two bedrooms and the living room.
The owner/manager Ralph was very hospitable and kind. He made sure we were set and made himself available to us if necessary. You can immediately tell he maintains the property well.
One of our favorite aspects of the historic apartment was the character of the space. There is a shared outdoor patio/courtyard space that is accessed via the kitchen. Overall a lovely apartment and great location! Would definitely recommend it to others.

A Gem!
I cannot say enough good things about this property or the proprietors. It's a charming apartment with a layout that really worked for our family. It's very convenient to everything in Old San Juan but is on probably the quietest street. This particular apartment is off the street as well, so even quieter. There are no retail shops or restaurants on the block which keeps it quiet. No extra foot traffic. The kitchen has all the basic amenities and there are several stores 2 blocks away in case you need something that isn't already available. While this was a great apartment with a lovely private patio, the proprietors were equally as valuable to our stay. They were so incredibly helpful, responding to all sorts of questions, not just about the apartment but about where to find the best Mofongo and how to rent a car as well as many other questions.
We were with our young son and asked about a playpen/pak-n-play for sleeping as well as a high chair and they were able to supply those. I don't think they're always available, but definitely ask.

Walk to everything in Old San Juan
This apartment is very conveniently located within walking distance of Puerto Rican restaurants, various fast-food places, a laundromat, parking garages, a grocery store and all the sites in Old San Juan. Although not luxurious, the apartment is historic and has the colonial character of the area. The amount of space was great for my husband and I, our adult daughter, and two grandchildren ages 4 and 6 -- so much better than staying in two hotel rooms. We were able to fix our own breakfasts and a few other meals, which was more relaxing (and economical) than eating out all the time with two children. The patio was a secure place for our grandchildren to play outdoors. The property was clean and well-equipped with towels, kitchen items, even the hand and dish soap we needed. The owner, Ralph, was very personable and quickly responded to all my e-mailed questions both before and during our stay. Be aware that the a/c is mainly for the living room and two bedrooms and doesn't really cool the kitchen or bathroom. But I was able to cool off with an evening shower and then sleep OK in an air-conditioned bedroom. I would highly recommend the apartment for up to 5 people. It has a queen bed, two twins, plus a futon in the living room.

Excellent Service!
We spend a week in Ralph"s property and we had an excellent experience. We were a family of six, two adults, two young adults and two children, six and three yrs old. We arrived way before the checking time, but Ralph and his wife allowed us to check in early. Their were very helpful and friendly. They recommended some places that we can go see, and give us imformation about the Old San Juan area. They had beach towels and a stroller in the apartment for our use while we were there, that was a major plus!!!! Going up and down in the San Juan streets and walking to the beach was very hard for our three year old daughter. It was very helpful having the stroller. Their place is located close by all the mayor attractions the Capital has to offer. They also had the appliance, pots, pans and utencils you might need in the kitchen, Being six of us, I cooked breakfast almost every morning, that really saved us a lot of money. There are restaurants, bars, grocery stores and drug stores all around the area. Their place is in a very great location. Our older children were able to go in and out the place as they wished. Is very secure and there are police an almost every coner, and they are very helpfull if you need any kind of direccion! The service we received from Ralph and his wife went beyond our espectations. The day we left their appartment to go back home, I realized in the airport that I had left my cell phone charging in the house. I send him a text from my daughter's cell phone to let him know. He send it the same day we left, it was a Friday and I got it on Monday morning, witout charging me the shipping or the time he spend going to the post office. I recommend his house and his hospitality to any one. You won't be dissapointed!!!!!
