Photos and Description of the San Juan vacation apartment rental
2 Bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, sleeps 5

This apartment is unique! This amazing artsy loft is in a historic building. The loft is on street level. No carrying luggage up a steep flight of stairs or walking down some dark corridor to reach it. 20 ft. high ceilings and marble floors in the lower level. Hard wood stairs (comfortable to climb, not too steep) lead you to the second level where the beautifully designed kitchen, the dining area and bedrooms are located. All hard wood floor on the second level. An original mural by artist Sofia Maldonado adorns the hallway. Stunning contemporary art pieces on all the walls.

The spacious master bedroom has a queen size bed. The second room has two twin beds and a small futon. In total we can accomodate 5 people. Most apartments in Old San Juan have just one bathroom. Ours has 1 1/2 bathrooms. Full bathroom on the first floor and 1/2 bathroom on the second. Quiet, comfortable, spacious, a/c in all areas. Condominium has two interior patios in common areas. This apartment is very elegant! You will live a luxurious vacation if you stay in the Artsy Loft.

You can easily walk all Old San Juan and dine at the most renowned restaurants, visit the forts and see the most spectacular views of the San Juan Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Starbucks, Old Harbor Brewery, local bars, the most lively 'plazas' are one and two blocks away. Long walk (with Atlantic Ocean View) to Escambron beach, Condado and Miramar or take the bus or a cab! Taxi and bus stand are a block away. Visit Old Sand Juan and experience the Old City in the most extraordinary artsy setting!!

About Lourdes or Sofia

I love Old San Juan. It is like a small village full of charm, history and wonderful people! You haven't been to Puerto Rico if you don't stay in Old San Juan.

Lourdes or Sofia purchased this apartment in 2009
Why Lourdes or Sofia chose San Juan

We needed a lot of imagination when we bought this loft! We had to rebuild it from scratch. But that is the fun of it! Today, it is nowhere near what it was then. The restauration took over a year. But we knew it was going to be unique! And it is!! Marble and hard wood floors, exquisite contemporary art, all new appliances. It is the Artsy Loft! Unique in Old San Juan.

What makes this apartment unique

It is situated in one of the best streets in San Juan, close to all the great restaurants and hotels. Completely repaved, Tetuan Street goes from the Teatro Tapia up to la Capilla del Cristo. It is a wonderful promenade. It is also close to the port and the beautiful Paseo La Princesa. Walking distance from taxi stand, bus stop and parking lots. What more could I ask for!

Wonderful loft apartment

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 14, 2013
  • Stayed: Jun 2013
Apartment was lovely/clean/great location. Comfortable beds, couches. Everything we needed for the week. Grocery store close by. Wonderful friendly PR people. Good restaurants/variety of foods. AS 2 single women never felt unsafe even in evening; ample police visible on streets. A few recommendations- wash bed pads or replace - stained; new pillows on beds - too flat, kitchen A/C didn't work F1 message on unit- very hot in kitchen. When we left A/C off during day when we were out our bedrooms were very smelly when we returned. Think its better to leave A/C on when out and about. Hair dryer and fan in down bathroom didn't work - maybe needed to push some button to reset system to work????
Overall we loved PR, the beauty, people, food etc. Would return again!

Comfortable accommodations and walking access to Old San Juan doesn't get much better than this! Our group of 3 (which included a 6-year old) thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of the artsy loft. We were able to explore Old San Juan on foot (no car needed), where we enjoyed are variety of foods, shops, sights, and even the familiarity of Starbucks on the corner. Don't miss out on the FREE trolley which will take you to the most important sights the town has to offer and be sure to check out The Poet's Passage (a creative haven that offers superb coffee and open mic night on Tuesdays). The loft pictures are accurate and there's no doubt that you will be pleased with this choice of properties. (Thanks Lourdes!)

Convenient loft flat in Old San Juan

  • Submitted: May 12, 2013
  • Stayed: Apr 2013
Four of us lodged comfortably in this very spacious, shiny clean "artsy loft" in middle of old San Juan. We liked being able to park our rental car in a close nearby garage and leave it there for several days.We liked the secure entry. The two bedrooms had comfortable beds, bed lamps and good closet space. The kitchen was particularly well equipped with toasters, coffee pots, a cooktop and a microwave and plenty of dishes, pots and cutlery..and we did cook breakfast and lunch there with ease. The fridge was spacious. The main bathroom on the level of the living room had a hair dryer, large shower etc. The downstairs living room was a cool refuge from the 75-85 degree heat outside, and a place to relax after trekkng all over the big fort and castle. One problem was kitchen did not have hot water..we would warm some water on the cooktop. Plenty of hot water in downstairs full bathroom for showers. There is a half bath upstairs directly off the kitchen. The furnishings are practical and of good design. We enjoyed the 'artsy' part. Most walls had intriguing full scale paintings hanging which made the apartment very colorful and fun with a contemporary aura. . Our landlady was very engaging and went to great lengths to take care of some of our requests. She was an earnest host who wanted to be sure her tenants were happy. We were very happy. Forgot to mention..there are great restaurants, museums, a supermarket and plenty of shops all within walking distance.

My family stayed 3 nights in this fabulous loft space in Old San Juan March 2013. We had a wonderful time! The bedrooms were clean, comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Having the kitchen space made the visit more affordable and easier. The art was such a wonderful bonus. Parking was very close by and reasonable, but this loft is so close to both taxi and bus that you could go without a car for your visit. We got to explore both castillo's (El Morro and San Cristobal) at our liesure. I can't wait to come back!

This artsy condo was the perfect place to stay for my brother's wedding. The loft was spacey, decorated well, and was more elegant than I expected. It was also very clean and priced very well.
