Betsy, thank you so much for accomodating Rich and me in your beautiful apartment. It was so refreshing and relaxing, and even better than we'd hoped for. Our bed was amazingly comfortable, and the washer and dryer were great to get our clothes clean before going home after the previous week on the water. We're just sorry we couldn't stay longer! Also, we just loved your shop... I'm hoping Rich will buy a Panama hat next time, or maybe I'll have to purchase one for him! Thank you again.

This apartment made my trip!!! It was beautiful, romantic and the location was perfect. We could do early morning walks along the fort wall or late night adventures through Old San Juan. Of all the places we could have stayed there is no doubt in my mind, we picked the perfect place to stay for our vacation.The hostess was personable and friendly and made you feel very welcome. My future trips to OSJ will, definitely include ‘Caleta 64’ Thank you again for putting so much effort into making your place perfect!!Of course I'm worried it will become so popular, that when my next trip comes around...it will be book solid. (But that’s what happens when you have created something this wonderful.)

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.Rick-Los Angeles

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.

Owner 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!
