We had an awesome stay, everything was exactly as explained. We would definitely stay here again. It is very close to everything. 24 hour grocery store within walking distance was very convenient. Walked to a great place for breakfast just a block or two away called Sobao Bakery and Restaurant, it is a must try. Directly across the street from the condo is Marcos pizza and another restaurant (can't remember name) which was excellent for lunch. Everything else is within a short uber drive. Our plane was delayed several times so we didn't get it until around 11 p.m., we were starving, we were so grateful for the eggs, bread, cereal, and drinks left for us. Such a kind gesture, it really meant a lot. The kitchen is completely stocked with anything you could possibly need. We enjoyed having the beach and very large pool right there. There is also a ping pong table and pool table, that was a lot of fun.The entire area and complex was very quiet and everyone was very nice. We will definitely stay here again!!

Communication with the property manager was excellent. Upon our arrival they had provided several grocery items(bread, juice, fruit, cereal, coffee, milk, eggs, and rum! All were very much appreciated! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was so well stocked with dishes and cookware. We could walk to a grocery store and a nice variety of restaurants. The pool was spacious and we could walk to the beach, directly off the pool area. A perfect spot to stay for a few days.

Nice VRBO in a good location. Easy to either walk or UBER to where we needed to go. The kitchen was beautiful and supplied with all necessities. There was bread, cheese, bananas, cereal, oatmeal, milk and juice, and other beverages provided which was so helpful since we did not get to the grocery store immediately. Nice pool area and stretch of beautiful beach was just beyond the pool.

Not as advertised and dirty

Property was rundown and old. There was construction going on early in the am. Asked for early check in at 1 and didn’t get in until 3. There was cockroaches as well. Ice dispenser did not work in fridge. The hallway getting to property smelled of marijuana everyday. Overall there are much better properties in the area.

The location of the condo was perfect. We are able to walk or grab an Uber to wherever we needed to be. The owner was kind to leave us some started grocery items in the fridge. There were plenty of towels for our stay. They also provided beach chairs and towels. Access to the beach was easy and convenient. The building is old. It appears they a doing some renovations to building. There is security on site which we appreciated. The unit itself could use some work. It was overall clean, but some areas could have used a little more cleaning. Mainly the decor could use a good cleaning. The kitchen had an issue with small white bugs all over the counters and the sink. We found some bug spray and we had to spray twice a day to keep them at bay. The owner did have some put bait traps during our stay. The furniture could use some updating. The bed in the first bedroom was uncomfortable and sits very low to the floor. The love seat in that bedroom recliner did not work. I feel they should upgrade to a bed that sits higher up if they can. The living room furniture could use an upgrade as well. Not a comfortable piece of furniture at all. The tv in the main room had the setting for assistance is on and you cannot turn it off because the original remote for the tv was missing. To have the tv talk each time you change the volume was annoying. Overall we had a good stay. There were a few annoyances than can be easily fixed if the owner chooses to address them.

Great host and property

This was by far my best experience with renting a property. I needed a kitchen to do some baking and it was perfect and well appointed kitchen. Great location also. We got in late on a Sunday and were thrilled to find a bag of coffee, milk eggs and other essentials provided for us; so nice to sleep in and not have to run out for groceries early in the morning. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Mattress, AC, ironing board and constant noise in bedroom and TV not showing properly

Our stay was GREAT customer service GREAT. I didn’t want to make any requests during my stay and wanted to wait till after I left. First, the mattress, I’m sorry but it needs to be changed. The springs in the mattress made it very difficult to find a comfortable spot to sleep, that followed by the constant noise in the locked closet which sounded like a boiler. It kept me up at nights especially when it kicked into high gear. The ironing board needs to be changed it could not stay opened we had to place it closed on a table to iron. The AC in the dining room was not working and we couldn’t watch TV because the pixels were fuzzy. That happens when the cable wires are too long and poor WiFi. Oh, the laundry detergent bottles were empty so I ended up using a little from the trial size that was there. The plus to my stay was central Location to everything, secure, CLEAN apartment and friendly staff. Would I stay again…yes, if all of the above is taken care of.

The air conditioner in the second bedroom did NOT work. Which most definitely was an issue because several of us is dealing with asthma with temperature over 100 degrees for the 4 days we stayed there. Also, No privacy for married couples on vacation. Due to the fact that we had to keep the door open with a fan in it to try and get cool air into the room from the eating area. The whole reason for booking a two bedroom was for privacy.

great spot, great host

This unit was a perfect spot for me and my three teen daughters. The unit was clean and had everything we needed, the pool and beach right downstairs was super convenient. The building is located in a happening, safe and very walkable area of san juan. We happened to lose power for a full day during the week for somekind of upgrade but Judith communicated and was very hands on with trying to help. Despite the power loss for a full day I still give 5 stars, that should say somethnig!
