I rented this house in Old San Juan for a month in July with three of my girlfriends. This house was a great find for us for the amount of money we paid, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a beautiful old Spanish Colonial house which is very well maintained and excellently located - view of the ocean and one of the historic garitas (sentry box) of Castillo San Cristobal, in historic old san Juan. Awe inspiring just to think that there have been people living in it for more than 300 years! Of course, the down side of any old house is that you need to work around its little glitches, like the front door needs to be pushed, lifted and pulled to open, or might get stuck, etc. The house is a lot bigger than it seems in the pictures. On the first floor are the living room, kitchen and and the dining room, and the two bedrooms are on the second floor accessible by a lovely iron staircase. One of the bedrooms has a balcony looking out to the Atlantic, and the view of the famous garita. You can sit on the balcony and stare out into the view forever. Rosa, the owner of the house went out of her way to accommodate us. I told her that we were all women and not too keen on sharing beds, and she bought two inflatable beds and left them in the bedroom for us. Any questions about the house I had, I was able to communicate her via text message, e-mail and phone. The house was one of the best things about staying in Puerto Rico. Very clean, beautiful, historical, well located and comfortable. Excellent value for what you pay. If I had the fortune of going back to Puerto Rico, I'd stay there again.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
