A Great First Experience in Puerto Rico
Review Submitted: May 5, 2009

The building is about 10 minutes from the San Juan Airport. I parked my rental in their gated, underground, private parking spot with elevators to the apartment. The building residents and neighbors were polite and courteous and it was quiet at night. The building had a complete gym on the first floor with pretty new equipment. The building had 24 hour security and was very secure and safe.
The apartment was spacious, cozy, and very clean. The furniture, appliances, and amenities were all in good condition and clean, not to mention stylish. The main bedroom had a TV with cable. The location was central to all the major highways, trains, & bus lines making Isla Verde, Old San Juan, Pinones, Santurce, etc. easy and quick to get to. A short walk from the apartment takes you to a strip which offers great eats, cafes, shopping, and fun night life. On Friday and Saturday nights, the Avenida Universidad becomes very vibrant with excellent music, food, and clubs. Also, there's a super market nearby as well as a mini-mart directly beneath the building itself (I believe there was also a salon). Banks & ATMs are very close. The University of Puerto Rico campus is also a close walk and allows free internet surfing in the libraries.
Overall, this being my first time in Puerto Rico, I had a wonderful time and experience, as did my friends with me. I sincerely feel the trip would not have been as rich had I stayed in an all inclusive resort or villa in Old San Juan. When I revisit Puerto Rico next year, I will stay in this apartment again... especially now that I know the area so well.
Disfruta :)
