San Juan holiday apartment

Stayed here with Friends in March for 4 nights for the World Baseball Classic. Apartment was ideally located for exploring all of Old San Juan. Easy enough to walk down to Plaza de Cologne and get taxi to anywhere else (Isla Verde beaches / casinos / ballpark). Apartment is a presented in ad, though we all felt it seemed 'slightly' bigger than it looked in the photos. We had nice weather, low 80s in the day, and in the 70s at night. Kitchen was useful and well stocked with utensils / glasses, etc.,. Balcony was nice to hangout on and relax, and the hammock was more comfortable than it looked. Apartment also had wifi and direct TV, though we hardly used either, as we spent a lot of time exploring or at baseball games. Worth checking out - La Bombanera for breakfast (get a Mallorca, they are delicious), and El Jibarito for lunch or dinner, just a few doors up the street on Calle del Sol. Also, live music at the Nuyorican Cafe a few blocks away in an alley between San Francisco and Fortaleza - We went on a Friday night, it was a $5 cover, and the band was incredibly talented. Fantastic trip. Would return to this apartment without hesitation. The rental agency was very easy to deal with too.

The apartment was exactly as described. It is a very simple apartment and renters should remember you are staying in an old part of San Juan in the tropics. The property is fairly well maintained (could have been a little better.) But you are definately in the middle of everything. You are on the same street as some great little cafes, a laundromat and El Jibarito (a great local restaurant.) The apartment is also well equiped with all the utensils and linens you need (even beach towels!)

The only downfalls that really need to be noted are that you are a few blocks away from Calle San Sebastian which is full of great little bars and live music, yes, that is a plus until you go back to the apartment and go to bed. The street noise from the the people leaving the bars and walking to their cars can be extremely loud so consider earplugs. Also closets and bedrooms were a little stuffy.

Apart from those two items it really was a lovely place to stay. Everything worked, it was comfortable, even with just ceiling fans it was comfortable (there is a/c for those who need it.) Again FENOMENAL LOCATION AND BALCONY! The customer service was also great. Very helpful, prompt and available. Would recommend and stay here again.
