Awesome Pre-Cruise Stay

I visit Puerto Rico 2 times a year and have stayed in almost every 5 star hotel on the island. But with a 5 year old and a 2 year old it was a little difficult for the one room scene. I was a little nervous renting a condo for the first time. But it made a lot of sense with a family of 4. And having the washer and dryer in the same apartment along with a full eat in kitchen was a blessing. These past 2 weeks was probably one of my best stays in Puerto Rico. And the condo made our stay feel even more relaxing. I loved Carlos's condo, it is excactly like the pictures posted. Very clean, very spacious, very local to every tourist attraction available on the island. What more can I say except that I loved it. See you next year.

We went to a wedding in Puerto Rico, and this place was perfect. The owner was great and helped us with everything we needed, including picking us up at the airport. The condo itself is very large and actually does fit 8 people pretty well. It was very clean and neat, well stocked with towels (like 20!) and it had a working washer/dryer for us to use. Every room, including the living room has an air-conditioning unit, since we arrived in the summer, this was awesome. There was also wireless internet for us to use for free.

The place is located pretty close to a lot of things in old san juan, and our group mostly got around walking. So if you plan on just visiting places in old san juan, you can probably get around without a car, and if you do need to go far, they have a ton of taxis that seat 6-7 people that you can call to take you where you need to go.

We had one issue with taxi drivers not knowing the address yet (because the place is relatively new), but if you describe the place as the large yellow condo building near the cruise ships, they seem to know what you're talking about.

Firstly, before referring to this rental, I just want to mention that Old San Juan specifically, and Puerto Rico in general is a perfect destination spot in the Caribbean. The people, food, culture, music and physical beauty is unsurpassed in all of the Caribbean Islands. The apartment was exactly as advertised. We entered a well appointed, clean and modern apartment, after parking our rental car in the reserved indoor space, to a room surrounded by glass, terraces and bathed in sunlight with views of San Juan Harbor and the city. The dinning area had a table and chairs large enough to accommodate myself, my wife, my son with wife and his daughter and my daughter comfortably. The living room had comfortable couch and chair seating and a wall unit with a lovely sound system and cable TV. The kitchen was modern and fully equipped with an ice and cold water dispensing large refrigerator, dish washer, large sink, oven, stove, toaster, microwave, etc. There was a breakfast nook with table and chairs and an overhead fan. All the rooms were equipped with overhead fans that kept the delightful tropical air breezes moving throughout the apartment day and night. The master bedroom had its own bathroom with a Jacuzzi and large walk in closets and the other two bedrooms shared a full bath closely situated in the hall. The lighting throughout the apartment was delightful and pleasant, with dimmers installed. The laundry room was equipped with a washer, dryer, ironing board and an abundance of towels and detergents for all your needs. We had a most delightful stay in this apartment which was located so that we were able to walk out into the center of Old San Juan for shopping, dinning and dancing or drive to explore the island or to the west coast of the island for a day trip for surfing. The owner remained fully accessible to our needs by cell phone and we felt so much at home. We recommend this residence enthusiastically and personally look forward to our return to what has become our San Juan home.

This was truely a fabulous apartment which made our two week holiday that extra special. The apartment was just as described. The attention to detail was excellent, to the extent that carlos provided basic provisions(bread/milk/cheese etc) for our arrival/first day. Carlos was friendly and nothing was to much trouble. The apartment was very well maintained and clean. To see the beautiful area of Old San Juan and require accomodation at a 5 star standard then look no further this is all as described and more. I would recommend this apartment to anybody. All the best carlos and thank you so very much, Claire and Family.

Carlos has really turned this condo into a home away from home for sure. This condo is fabulous and very nicely appointed. A big plus was the washer and dryer in the unit. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the condo was well stocked with lots of extra linens. The complex is very safe and secure with visible security throughout the complex at all times. If you are considering a pre or post night for a cruise, I would strongly recommend staying here as the complex is a minute away from the bay. Five out of five stars in our opinion. We will be back again next year.

We were 3 couples who travel together looking for a place to stay before our cruise. We stumbled upon this place and were glad we did! Although Carlos advertises a minimum stay of 3 nights, he did agree to rent it to us for 2 nights with an additional cleaning charge which was more than fair.

It is everything it is advertised as. Three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, kitchen, and spacious living area with 2 balconies with north and east exposure. In general the apartment was very clean and very comfortable for the 6 of us. The kitchen was more than functional with the basics in cooking utensils. Previous renters had left (as we did as well) booze, condiments, etc... for the next renters which was great as we didn't have to run out to purchase ketchup or salt. The property is fully tiled which makes minor spills easy to clean up but if something is dropped it's broken.

The condo grounds were gated and felt very safe. We met several people who live at the complex and they were extremely nice and professional (doctors, and alike). The only amenity we used was the pool which was nice. A piece of advice for the pool is to wear sandles or shoes as there are a lot of sharp little loose rocks which make it a bit uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet.

Location, location, location! This condo is situated on the edge of historic old San Juan. If you are familiar with San Juan, it is a short 5 minute walk to the Sheraton Hotel. We know this as we walked several times that way. The area felt safe to walk in even at night to and from the old part of town but were told not the go the other way (towards the airport) from several locals. Currently they are doing construction on a board walk across the street and will be an amazing area once they are finished.

Overall, it was a really great place to stay to wind down for the start of our vacation and to be close to our friends. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who wished to stay for any length of time. Thanks Carlos we'll let you know when we want to stay again.

My family (sisters, mom, children and husbands) stayed at this location before and after a cruise. This property was an amazing place for us to stay! This was better than any hotel we could have found. Carlos was fantastic! The apartment was very clean and everything was perfect. The location was amazing, with in walking distance to everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again! Next time I think I would want to stay longer than we did. Thank you for everything Carlos!

My friends and I absolutely loved staying at this property. The grounds are beautiful and the apartment itself is beautiful and extremely comfortable. Carlos, the owner, provided towels, laundry supplies, and basic groceries, which were very much appreciated.

The property is just a short 10 minute walk from Old San Juan, and there is also a free shuttle service which will take you there from the apartment. However, if you want to venture into other areas such as Condado, I would recommend renting a car.

I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting the San Juan area!
