Nice stay
I love the location which is a walking distance to local shops, cruises port, fort and bus terminal. The check-in and out process is very smooth, the property manager response my questions on call and text quick. I really enjoy the room even there is A/C only on the bedroom. It has a small garden/bird house that is very interesting

We stayed in the Bambu room. It was a room. Nothing more. Could only open one suitcase at a time. That being said, nothing wrong with it. Although I didn't see any staff while I was there (more of an AirBnB space), they did allow me a late checkout with an extra charge, which was nice.

Old San Juan stay
It was located within 10 min walking distance from the terminal which is great. Local shops, restaurants all right there. Market next door. El meson up the street within walking distance. Just an older property. Small room but comfortable. The air conditioning never really got cold. For one night it was good. A longer stay with no really cold ac would be a problem

The property is located in a perfect area for partying. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby and it’s a walkable area. Also the room was nice and clean. I had a little hiccup when I tried to check-in however, I can’t blame the host for various reasons. I highly recommend the property and would definitely stay here again.
