I have nothing but good things to say about Dan's wonderufl apartment. You honestly get way more than you're paying for. I spent 18 days and I wish I could have stayed longer. The area is very calm and the neighbors are really friendly, I'm happy to now call them my friends. The apartment is small but cozy, it's very clean. The AC in the room is amazing. Shopping centers are close by. If you're looking to experience the true Puerto Rican life than this is it. I'm planning on staying here again in December :] . Saludos Dan.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Pros: The inside of the apartment is fantastic. The place was obviously remodeled and maintained with a lot of care and attention to detail--Dan didn't cut any corners. We enjoyed the quality of the amenities the apartment was filled with including the pots, pans, knives, bed, linens, shower, fans and AC unit among other things. The price! It was an incredibly reasonable rate. The location is convenient. We traveled every day and were a quick drive away from all the spots we hit. Dan. He was a pleasure to interact with. He was very informative, friendly and prompt in all his communications. Our security deposit was also returned in full quickly. The neighbor's were overly friendly and helpful. We talked with them a lot and enjoyed getting to know them. Cons: The only knock that I have on this place is that the surrounding area is visually a little rough around the edges. We understood that Rio grande is a small town in Puerto Rico--we didn't expect (or want to) be staying in a resort area. It was initially a little bit of a culture shock though. Many of the homes are in pretty poor repair (although some are beautifully maintained). At first, we were concerned that the area could be unsafe. Through our interactions with people though, we came to realize that the neighborhood was very safe and were put at ease. Bottom Line: We greatly enjoyed our time in Puerto Rico and our stay at the apartment. For the money, it was a awesome deal. Although we initially were a little taken back by the neighborhood, we met, and enjoyed the company of, many kind people in Rio Grande. As the day's passed we saw more and more beauty in the town and definitely grew to appreciate its character. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone as long as they are a little adventurous.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. We loved this apartment! It was in a perfect location! We were close to El Yunque and Luquillo Beach but still had the opportunity to experience a local neighborhood and great local food without all the tourists. The neighborhood was safe and the people were very friendly. The apartment had everything we needed and it was very cozy! We highly recommend this wonderfully priced little gem! Thanks Dan!

The apartment is located in a residential neighborhood off of a main road. Very easy to get lots of places within 10-20 minutes with a car. We used it as a base location for a bunch of day trips between San Juan and the east coast. The owner was very very friendly, helpful and responsive - the guide to the area is very helpful as well. Deposit returned quickly after our stay. We were two young women and felt safe in the area, neighbors were friendly. Its small, but comfortable and easy to get around if you're looking for an affordable place to stay and explore the area!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/4

I stayed here for a week in December and it was AMAZING! First off, this place is perfect for those who want to experience PR like a Puerto Rican. It's central to everything: beautiful beaches, San Juan, Rain Forest, shopping, and great food. The last time I went to PR, I stayed in San Juan which was saturated with tourists, not so great food and everything was overpriced! Staying here we were able to enjoy so much more of the island. The apartment had more than enough space for just the two of us. It was VERY clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It was equipped with everything you could possibly need and was certainly well maintained. I will definitely stay here next time I am in Puerto Rico. P.S: I highly recommend taking a day trip to Culebra. Catch the ferry early in the morning from Fajardo (20 min away).Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

This apartment has a fantastic location. We could get to the beach and rainforest within 10 minutes. We even partied in San Juan and were there by 20 minutes. The neighbors are also friendly. There is a woman across the street who is always on the lookout for people coming and going. The apartment itself is simple, but beautifully decorated, and well maintained. It was obvious that everything was new. The owner gave us great customer service. He even gave us a home-made travel guide with his favorite restaurants and activities. You have to try the Mofongo truck on the side of the road. It's delicious! Overall, I would recommend staying. It's definitely worth it.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.
