I am SO glad we stayed here during our week in Puerto Rico. It definitely felt like home by the end of the week, and I am already ready to book again for next summer!
The bed was so comfy and while it got hot at night, it wasn't unbearable. We turned the AC on during the day but it was a little loud to sleep with it on. I expected to hear some noise at night, but it was so quiet. We got a full night's sleep every night, which made our vacation that much better.
The apartment is within walking distance from all the best things in San Juan. Ocean Park beach was my favorite beach hands down - not too crowded and great swimming. Bebo's was just a quick walk, with the best mofongo in the city. There was a 24 hour convenience store down the street and also a 24 hour supermarket a little farther away, both of which were well-stocked and well-priced. The bus to Old San Juan and Isla Verde was a little confusing and takes awhile, but honestly, just rent a car while you are there! We rented a car for the second half of the trip and wished we had it the whole time. Parking in front of the apartment was so easy.
I loved being in a residential area, as opposed to a touristy spot - we could really get a feel for P.R. culture, not to mention the price is excellent. There are a few cats that hang around the courtyard, which we loved (being homesick for our own kitties!). The neighborhood seemed pretty safe, although I was a little on-edge walking back from the beach after dark.
Overall, I loved it here! Will definitely be back! read more
