When booking this apartment online I was a little concerned just because it is not a regular hotel and it was run by an individual which made me nervous, however, Carina was AWESOME! She was great when I first emailed her and she responded quickly. I had some general questions before we went on our trip and she was always very helpful and answered them quickly through email. When driving to the apartment we were a little leery of the area near this neighborhood, but when we arrived we found that it was a nice gated community in San Juan. I am not a fan of San Juan at all, it tends to be a little to scary for me. However I felt completely fine staying in this apartment, actually I loved it! She met us at the key box and showed us around and let us know all the good places to eat and go in the area. She was very helpful! She even gave me 4 different Wi-Fi's I could use, they worked great. About the apartment, the patio was amazing and I found fresh limes every day, the bed was a normal bed that we slept fine on. My son slept on the pull out futon and was fine each night. It was very clean, we never even saw bugs or anything. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, also dishes and silverware. There was a fridge and a microwave and also a coffee pot. The bed was a little hard but we slept fine. The air conditioner leaked so we just put a towel down(the filter may need to be changed). During our 5 night stay, Carina texted us to say good morning a few times and gave us info on the weather and how the beach was looking. She also helped me a lot through texting whenever I was lost or had a question, this is very much above her responsibility but she was so welcoming I felt like I could talk to her easily throughout our stay and she was always there to answer my texts. She even called a few pizza places when I asked her who delivered, to find out, that was so nice! This apartment is right down the road from the beach and also the busiest road for restaurants, everything was in walking distance, although I was a little freaked at night, we were always safe. Theres also a 24 hour supermarket right down the road, so that was nice. I highly recommend this property if you are staying in San Juan!!

This was the perfect studio, and it was even better than described. Everything that we could have needed (towels, sunscreen, etc.) was supplied for us, making the stay incredibly easy and relaxing. The apartment is very comfortable and there is plenty of space. Our hosts were more than welcoming and helpful, giving us suggestions on where to eat/visit and answering any questions we had.
The apartment is also feet away from a beautiful beach that is scarcely populated (on weekdays it felt like we had the beach to ourselves).
There are plenty of restaurants around the apartment, however, if you are interested in exploring outside of the neighborhood (El Yunque, Old San Juan, etc.), I recommend renting a car, as 2 cab rides a day are more expensive than the cost of a rental.
I highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a comfortable studio steps away from the beach that is also relatively close to the tourist areas of the city.

Nice place to stay and explore San Juan. My wife and I stayed here and went exploring each day to see what San Juan had to offer. Located close to the beach made for numerous trips to relax. The owners have chairs for you to use when you head down to get some sun. The owner met us at the unit when we got there and was very helpful with ideas on what to do in the area. We ate at various restaurants that were all very good.
I was training to run a half marathon so we ran four days during our trip. Typically we ran towards old San Juan for a couple miles and then turned around and came back. We felt safe everywhere we went even walking around at night.
The unit itself is a bit older, but is well taken care of and clean. We didn't cook any meals, but the unit does have a stove to cook. The only issue we had was with the AC unit Didn't
seem to run to the temp you set.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and hated to go home to the cold and snow.
1 review Great location right next to ocean park beach.. A lot better experience than a hotel. Clean room with comfy bed. Safe neighborhood. Walked around at all hours of the day/night with no issues.

Perfect location in a safe neighborhood. Apartment was clean and comfortable. Included everything from extra sheets, beach towels, cooler, dishes, wine glasses, ect. Patio was awesome, comfortable and private. Carina and Jose were wonderful, friendly and had great suggestions for food, shopping and sites in the area. Corner store, laundry, drug store and plenty of place to eat all within walking distance. Great for solo vacation. Four houses from the beach. So relaxing and I will stay here again. The place was great!

The property was just as advertised and pictured. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. Carina met us at check in and gave us great recommendations for the area and stayed in touch to ensure we had everything we needed. The beach was beautiful and just a minute walk away. No problems at all and will definitely stay there again. My deposit was returned the day I checked out. I was hesitant to pay through PayPal instead of TripAdvisor, but I went on the reviews and am glad I did. It's a great way to live like the locals and still have access to the area with a short drive or walk.
