I loved the location, and the way it looks once you entered the building. The people is very friendly and if you have any question they will answer you very quickly. I hope I can go back to the Island soon, and I would definitely stay in this place again.

Property is located in a very central area. Easy check in instructions available. The building is quite old and needs some TLC. The downside is that they also had quite a bit of cockroaches crawling everywhere and would benefit from a fumigation.

Beautiful room in the Old San Juan. Responsive and attentive host. Safe building with access only with passcode. Liked the welcome drink. Very close to the Old Castle, and the famous Mallorca breakfast place. Would have liked a window though.

I rented out 2 rooms one was good, the other had a roach infestation. This particular room was comfortable and very convenient for sight seeing around historic VSJ. It could be cleaner as is evident by our other room, owner and staff were friendly and quick to respond.

Very good location. Quirky but fun decor. One down side - the bed was full size, not queen or king which we prefer.
