If I could have given this place 3 and a half stars I would have. This is a budget friendly option with lots to offer.
My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new and came across Sol Casita on Airbnb but the room they had available did not have a private bathroom. We searched online and found that they had their own site and so we booked through there instead of Airbnb. This particular room did come with it's own bathroom and shower.
The bathroom itself was a bit odd. You had to step up into it and step down out of it and it had shutter doors. The shutter doors only went half way down. The toilet and shower were one. No dividers of any sort. Sol Casita did supply shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. We didn't use it but it was a nice extra.
AC worked very well, bed to me was comfortable but my boyfriend wouldn't agree. Shared kitchen, sitting area, and dock were the star of Sol Casita. I enjoyed it, although you meet different people and not everyone is respectful of common areas.
My only real complaint was the mosquitos. I don't know how they got into our room but they were there and it was annoying and made us absolutely miserable. I'm glad we gave it a go but I think Sol Casita better suits folks moving from place to place and just need to stay for a night, maybe two. It wasn't ideal for us.
We enjoy exploring but coming back to rest our heads at a location that feels like home. Price was excellent, beautiful views, authentic Puerto Rican neighborhood, great restaurant that was located one house away. A bit on the louder side.
Parking wasn't the best but wasn't horrible either and within a 5 minute walk we found a little bakery that was perfect. If anyone decides to stay here and is reading this, if you can take 5 minutes of your time and buy an apple and give it to the horse by the recommended parking area that the host will email you after you book, I would be so thankful. I meant to do it and it's been on my mind that I didn't. :(
The best part of Sol Casita is that it's very close to two of my absolute favorite beaches. Playa Sucia and Combate Beach. The Salt flats and Annie's is also very close. All a must visit. All in all I would stay here again for a night or two but no more. read more
