Loved this place
We were very happy in this guest house. Our vintage suite was very comfortable with cute vintage decor. We were centrally located and greatly enjoyed wandering streets of Old San Juan. We were able to self check in/out.

Stay here if you don't mind noise
Very good place to say. Good location. Spacious Room. Well secured. The only thing is music from neighbor bars until 2:00 AM.
I would stay again only if no noise.

Great place for those whose location is priority
Amazing, bustling location. Steps away from all of Puerto Rico's history. Apartment didn't feel incredibly clean. Older building charm though. Kitchen had dishes but no sponge. Would probably make more sense to have two full size beds in bedroom ( instead of twins) than have futon in middle of living room to make space for 6. Owner was responsive when had needs!

Awesome location
Perfect downtown location. Balconies condo was beautiful, loved opening up the doors to look down at the bustling street. You can see the square and part of the fort right from the balcony. It is noisy, but I just ran white noise machine and had no issues sleeping. Highly recommend.

Stay in the middle of it alll
Nice apartment with two balconies that open up onto a bustling street. Close by to everything including some good restaurants. Only downside is the very loud music coming from the neighboring bar that continued until midnight on Sunday. Fortunately they closed much earlier on Monday night so we had a more restful evening.

Excellent location
Excellent location in old San Juan. Easily walkable to several landmarks and a ton of restaurants and shopping stores. Additionally, the shuttle does pass around the area. Post was kind enough to let us store our luggage while we looked around the town. The only thing I wish that was in the unit Was an exhaust system to help with humidity control.

Large and airy room on second floor of an old building in the center of Old San Juan. Great (secure) location for walking the city.
Refrigerator, microwave, and sink for minor cooking. Two very big doors open to small balconies overlooking the street. Quiet at night with the air condition on.
Highly recommended for those who like quirky accommodations.

It is a quirky hotel but has lots of character. We stayed in the patio room which is pretty small. There are actually birds and fish in the lobby. Good location
