San Juan holiday apartment

I rented this apartment with several friends for an incredible week in San Juan. Not only are the accomodations inside the apartment much better than they appear to be online (i.e. new, big, comfy couches, a gorgeous kitchen, roomy bedrooms, and an amazing loft/deck with a table and a gas grill!), but the service provided by Elena properties was superb. They were excellent communicating with me and answering any questions before the trip and when we arrived at 11PM, they were more than willing to meet us at the door of the apartment with the keys. The apartment has more than enough sleeping space and provided plenty of clean sheets, towels, etc.
The apartment's location is also excellent. The residential neighborhood gives the apartment a much more private, less touristy feel that a hotel. Also, we had no problem walking the few blocks to and from the amazing beach, as well as to the grocery store and several local eateries in the Condado area. The cab ride into Old San Juan is short and cheap. While there was room to park by the apartment, we got by just fine without a car.
I would recommend this apartment to just about anyone vacationing in San Juan! Thank you for an incredible vacation!

I rented this while I was in San Juan for two weeks of work. It's quite a good location for commuting down to businesses in Guaynabo or Hato Rey.

The neighborhood is a nice residential area, right next door to the San Juan's "Alliance Francaise", a French-cultural club somehow sponsored by the French Government. There is a grocery store just a couple of blocks away, but I always sent to a Pueblo nearer my work-site.

The apartment is maintained quite well. One faucet was working badly, so I reported it to the owner, and it was replaced the next day. (I suspect this is why some other reviews complain of poor water pressure. In fact, the water pressure is fine.) There were a few other minor maintenance items I mentioned to the owner after I left.

The apartment has wireless Internet access that works fine.

The covered porch on the roof is nice; there's a gas grill and a dining table outside. This was nice.

Parking is usually pretty good; you can either park just outside the building, or just around the corner. But it was never more than a one-minute walk.

Pros: The property was close to city amenities and the living room/kitchen area was large. Price was also very reasonable.

Cons: Not clean (cobwebs on fixtures), beds uncomfortable, loud airconditioners. No water pressure in bathrooms.

I'd recommend this property to young travellers on a tight budget. Car rental is a must.
