Stayed there in October, 2008 and had an absolutely perfect time. The location is central to everything in Old Town but not on a highly-trafficed street. Plenty of great restaurants and sites within walking distance.
The apartment itself was exactly what we needed - a place that assured privacy with the old world thick wood doors/windows (which could be opened facing the sidewalk to enjoy the night).
The hosts are a wealth of information and take superb care of their guests. The highest praise I can give a place is that I'd stay there again. And I hope I will! |

| We stayed in the apartment for 3 days when we first got to P.R. We loved the location and the owners were terrific. We highly recommend it. |

| Super fantastic location with museums, food and shopping with-in blocks. Hands down better service than at a hotel, and they have a shop next door so it is really easy to ask a question or address any issues. If you are looking for a place in Old San Juan look no further. |

Stay here. We hunted around, and came to the
conclusion this was the best option, and it
exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the
upstairs apartment, "the cobblestone". It's old
world with all the contemporary comforts, and they
provide better service than most hotels. Great maid
service, with fresh linens and towels every day, and
they even did our laundry. The apartment itself is
so damn cool. Betsy and Gustavo have great taste,
and make sure you have everything you need, right
down to some mosquito repellant. It is an
authentic, loft style apartment, with very high
ceilings. It has three large French doors that open
onto a long balcony that overlooks the cobblestone
street below. It’s great for having your coffee in the
morning, or wine in the evening (or morning). The
kitchen and bath areas are, again, so tastefully
done, and fully equipped (dishwasher, washer,
dryer). The bed is super comfortable, the AC, and
ceiling fans work great, and there is even a 42" flat
screen HDtv mounted on the wall. The only
drawback is you'll want to hang out there, and not
see the town-but we did. It has to be the best
location in Old San Juan- across from the El
Convento, and literally is up the street from “the
Door of Old San Juan”(the main gate through the
old military wall that surrounds the town).. You are
within a few minutes walk of all the great sites, best
restaurants, supermarkets and shops. When you
consider the style, comfort and location, it is hard
to beat.

We had a wonderful time and would strongly recommend

| This place ooozes with coolness!! My son and I stayed for 3 nights in May. Great experience. Betsy and Gustavo are gracious hosts. They renovated this unit in January. If you want to stay in Old San Juan, this is by far the best location - next to Cathedral, El Murro, and El Convento. 2 blks away is Plaza des Armas, where you'll find Walgreens, supermarket and 24-hr coffee/sandwich kiosk. The only downside is lack of soundproofing between floors - you may hear people in the upstairs unit when they walk around. Just bring ear plugs and you'll be fine. |

Homeowner Response:
Thanks Darell I am very glad you enjoyed the apartment and Old San Juan.
This building was originally built around 1800s and in those day there was no soundproofing. Unfortunately, due to the regulations of the Institue of Culture we are tied up in the type of things that we can change. Since this building is a brick structure some noises can be heared but we are working on releaving those inconvenieses.
I deepely apologize for this inconvenience and I hope you visit Puerto Rico again!
