Accommodations and Surroundings:
This 1000-plus square foot apartment is tastefully decorated with marble floors, carpeting in the master and plush modern furnishings. Both the bedroom and living/dining room areas have their own separate bathrooms with adjacent walk-in closets. The apartment has floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that let you take in the ocean views and breezes, and two balconies that run all along the length of the apartment. Patio chairs and a small table are also available for use on the balconies.
There is a Starbucks cafe less than a block away, and along Ashford Avenue there are several stores, including high-end designer stores such as Gucci, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, and others. All are within walking distance.
High-speed, wireless internet access is available in the lobby and pool areas, free of charge.
Cell Phone Usage:
Our experience with cell phone usage is that the coverage in the apartment and the surrounding neighborhood is good for both AT&T/Cingular and Sprint customers. Also, both of these providers include Puerto Rico as part of their long distance plans for the USA. Be sure to double-check with your own provider regarding cell phone coverage and any associated costs for using your cell phone.
The phone in the apartment is setup for local (Island) calls only.
Rental Cars and Parking:
It is not absolutely necessary to have a rental car, since most attractions are either within walking distance or a short taxi ride away. However, if you do want to do some exploring around the island, there are a multitude of rental car companies within walking distance of the apartment, including in the hotels. Please note that parking on the street is not always readily available, and parking lot fees at hotels can add up quickly.
One parking space is included with the rental rate.
