About this property

OSJ GREAT VALUE/PLS VIEW

Private and gated community, conveniently located to all the historical sites, restaurants and party areas, all within easy walking distance. The apartment is in a 2 story building with only 2 steps to the apartment' entry door.

The condo complex is located away from the hustle of city traffic and party noise common in the area. The condo is close to the Governor' mansion, Capitol, federal buildings, historical sites, shopping & cruise ship piers. Safe & quiet area well monitored by local and federal police as well as the Coast Guard.

Since Old San Juan has a very dynamic and vibrant night life, many streets tend to be busy & noisy which makes this apartment a great retreat from busy sightseeing days but restful nights.

The apt is located within walking distance to Escambron beach, fine shopping and casinos. The Condado area is 5 minutes away, can be reached by taxi or public transportation. Taxis are plentiful, 24 hours/day, also Uber/Lyft service available

The apt faces the Coast Guard & Homeland Security bldg & El Arsenal Museum built during the Spanish colonial period. On the opposite side of the complex is the 'Paseo de La Princesa' park with its beautiful fountain at the end of the promenade where you can enjoy spectacular sunsets by the bay and see the walled city as built by the Spaniards. On Sundays evenings locals gather with musical instruments for lively and fun concerts.

The kitchen is fully equipped, quality bathroom towels & linen are supplied, also individual A/C units in the kitchen & bedroom. There are also overhead and floor fans. With the louver windows/doors opened, there is usually no need for AC due to the great cross ventilation. All louver windows have screens to keep mosquitoes from entering. There's a lovely shade tree in the courtyard by the bedroom which keeps the sun away from the unit. Due to its location the front living area also doesn't receive direct sunlight but is bright with views of the Deco styled Banco Popular.
The laundry room is located within the apartment and fully equipped washer/dryer, vacuum, ironing board/iron and other cleaning tools.

For last minute renters or for more than 30 day stay, please call for arrangements and fees: Owner, Ileana at 706/216-3614 or 114ileana@gmail.com

Public parking available: the lot is next door to complex for approx $7/day & discounted for weekly reservation. There is also street parking when available. Taxes included in rental fee.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Excellent location! Very quiet and safe community located just far away from the loud party areas. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a good nights sleep and willing/able to walk the 1/2 mile uphill to enjoy the entertainment, dining and shopping district. If I return to Old San Juan, I will look to stay here again.

A wonderful place in a great location

What a great place to stay in Old San Juan. This property was comfortable, clean, convenient, and just as described in the listing. Ileana, the owner, was very easy to work with and was able to make accommodations for my late night arrival. I loved that it was just a 5-minute walk to the beautiful trees and fountain of Paseo de la Princesa. Highly recommended!

FANTASTIC GETAWAY!

My daughter needed a getaway from NYC and all the cold weather. We selected this condo and could not have been more pleased! The location is perfect and walking distance to all the major attractions. The condo is beautifully decorated and very roomy and comfortable. It is just far enough away from all the major noise. My daughter loved it and are already planning a return. The owner was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Location, Location, Location

This apartment is very well located, in walking distance to the port, museums, forts, grocery store, old wall, CVS Pharmacy, bus depot etc. The grounds were well groomed and the apartment was clean, with lots of towels and bed linen and a comfortable bed. Since we stayed two months, it was great having the washer and dryer in the apartment! Ileana (owner) and Joe (manager) were easy to contact answered our questions and saw to any problems, quickly. There were always festivities at the Paseo de la Princesa on the weekends, but the bedroom, at the back of the unit, next to the interior courtyard, was very quiet for sleeping. We enjoyed going across La Puntilla St. to the old armory to sit in the shade and watch the activities on the water (cruise ships, ferry, and coast guard maneuvers ). Our only complaint was not having access to the parking inside the gate, when we rented a car for a week. The free parking on La Puntilla, was very limited. All in all, the old town was fascinating to visit and the condo's location and condition made our stay very enjoyable.

A charming, cozy condo with an ideal location.

This condo was just right for our first visit to Old San Juan. It is very well equipped with clear instructions on how to operate and find everything. It is very safe and a short walk to the promenade, shopping, trolley stops and street food carts. A great spot to stay and discover the fun and history in Old San Juan. The owner Illana was great to work with and the condo manager was great too. Don and Marilee Muth ...Wisconsin

Best location and place to stay in!

Stayed here for 5 nights and I have to say the location is perfect! Really close to a lot of good restaurants and a brewery! The place is nicely kept both inside the premises and the unit itself. Weather wasn't too bad and when it was hot opening the windows was good enough to feel the breeze from the ocean making it cooler inside. Then again we are from california so we are kind of use to the heat at times just not the humidity, but the place offers ceiling mounted fans which work great. Most of the tourist areas are walking distance therefore we never really had to drive much. We would definitely book this property again and recommend anyone to do so as well. Thanks again Ileana for letting us rent your property and hope to deal with you again in the near future.

Wonderful "second home"

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay in San Juan in this lovely vacation rental. It truly felt like home with all of the amenities available to us, provided by owner Ileana. Returning to the comfortable condo was a treat after a day of sightseeing or relaxing at one of the many nearby beaches. Ileana was also very helpful in telling us of some of the many highlights and interesting historical sights of this beautiful city. We plan to return and are looking forward to our next vacation!

A wonderful way to experience Old San Juan

It was a great stay, very much felt like a home away from home, enjoyed staying there very much. Much better than a hotel, a nice apartment setting, with laundry, a small but nice kitchen, and so forth. Everything was stocked up that we needed, and we replaced/added a few things, like some hand soap, laundry detergent, tissue, etc. A small market was maybe a 5 or ten minute walk away, and food vendors and restaurants are close by too. Our unit was on the first floor, and after a day of walking the town, it was so nice to come back and relax without any flights of stairs. We tried the A/C for a night or two, but the weather was just so pleasant that we opened the louvers on the windows and stayed with the nice breeze instead. Might be a bit warm or humid in summertime, but the A/C is always an option. I live in a very rural area, where it's very quiet at night, and so I often find that many resorts or hotels are a bit loud for me at night - this location was close to everything, and yet was quiet enough for me. All-in-all, a good stay and one that I highly recommend.

Condominio LaPuntilla

Old San Juan is a wonderful walk back into history and Condominio LaPuntilla was the perfect place to stay while seeing it all. The condo was clean and modern with a beautiful courtyard. It was in a gated community and very safe. We also walked throughout Old San Juan at night safely to hear music and eat great food. The caretaker and owner were very personable and responsive to our needs. The other people staying in the condo were friendly and welcoming. The day bed in the living room let us use it as a two bedroom - so we each had our own room! You can walk to all of Old San Juan from there so there's no transportation expenses. Great way to see parks, local art, museums and castles. Enjoy your stay.

Condominio La Puntilla

My family and I stayed in the apartment for a month,we loved the location and the apartment,but the owner Ileana was complaining of the electricity bill being to high,she asked us if we were leaving the a/c on all day,we didn't use the a/c,we spent most of the day out,used the ceiling fans and turn off the lights,also the frying pans are In a very bad condition she needs to buy new ones,we love old San Juan,we love to eat at the cafeteria Mallorca it's our favorite restaurant and Raices it's a beautiful restaurant and also we enjoyed going to Culebra.

GREAT APARTMENT AND LOCATION!

Our visit to PR was long term from 11/13/11 through 1/31/2012. I can't say enough about this apartment, it's location...convenient to everything as well as the owner and property manager, Joe. There wasn't anything we lacked for...the apt is well equipped, with washer/dryer in apt laundry room, on the ground floor with a courtyard where we could sit and enjoy the sun. We didn't need to use the A/C most of the time since it wasn't as warm during the months we were there. However, when needed, the units in the kitchen & bedroom were sufficient to cool the apt providing the windows were closed. Since cost of utilities is higher in the Caribbean, we were conscious of use and turned them off when leaving the apt. One day we discovered that we had lost the keys to the complex and the apt. Joe was sweet and met us at 9PM to let us in and had even made another set for us to have. This place was like our home...very comfortable, clean, well decorated and fully equipped. The other thing was the convenience to everything...all within walking distance. Great restaurants and historical sights. We rented a car several weeks to go to the interior part of the island. No problems with parking since we paid the extra $70 for use of the gated parking within the complex...best thing to do since parking is limited throughout old San Juan. This is a place that I wouldn't hesitate recommending to anyone. Thank you for your hospitality!

Affordable - Cute & Cozy Condo - Old San Juan

My aunt, best friend and I spent a week in Puerto Rico for my son's wedding. This condo was everything we expected from the listing. It was like a home away from home: fully furnished, clean linens, dishes, cookware, washer and dryer, even dish soap and laundry soap! The location was perfect. Nestled in the corner of Old San Juan between the Cruise ship docking area and the Coast Guard Facility. Gated community with the security of the Coast Guard in the back yard. Very quiet community. We had a wonderful time. It was actually the best week of my life. I can hardly wait to return to Puerto Rico for another visit. One week was not nearly enough. The wedding was wonderful. I highly recommend this condominium if you need a little home away from home. The owner is very nice and the on-site personnel were very nice and helpful as well - only a phone call away. I also recommend the Rosa de Triana Restaurant only a few blocks away in the heart of Old San Juan. Excellent tapas style Spanish cuisine. Very affordable. We held the rehearsal dinner there. Flaminco dancers entertained for our party throughout the night. The bride and groom were given a free dance lesson and we got it all on video! All in all - a fantastic vacation. If you are thinking about a vacation in the Caribbean - Puerto RIco is the only way to go!!!

Great apartment + location. Highly recommended!

My partner and I rented La Puntilla in January 2011 for a full week getaway from a harsh Toronto winter. La Puntilla was exactly what we needed and the ad and information is exactly as presented. Ileana is a wonderful host, very communicative and up front about charges and access. We were met by her friend at the condo after midnight during San Sebastian Festival as our flight was late, he was very helpful, giving us the full tour and his phone number. The apartment is well suited for 2-4 persons with a double bed in the bedroom and a pull out bed in the living room. The kitchen is totally adequate, and having laundry was nice bonus. Although it was 35+ degrees celsius each day we barely used the AC as the ceiling fans and breeze from the ocean are plenty cool. The location is perfect - we've been to PR once before and love staying in Old San Juan. Its only about 25 minutes on foot to the closest public beach 'Escambron' and very close to everything you would need -- great restaurants, nightlife, the Old Fort, bus station, beautiful views and the ocean. Can't recommend this place enough and can't wait to visit La Puntilla again in the future!

Not Recommended

My husband and I stayed at this unit for two weeks in late February - early March 2011. We found the kitchen and bath to be dated. The unit was dark, partly because we kept the shutters closed in the living area to keep bugs out (there is no glass or screen). A handle on one of the bedroom shutters fell off in my hand when I first tried to open it, so we could not operate it for two weeks. We were subsequently charged $65.00 for breaking it. When we told the owner we did not break it, she replied that this could not be true because neither her father nor the caretaker were aware of the broken handle and "we are all good Christians." We have traveled in 42 countries. Puerto Rico is great. This unit and the owner are not.

SAN JUAN PUNTILLO CONDO REVIEW

Arrangments for collection / drop of keys etc. went as per plan. Condo manager was very helpful and polite. Condo is well situated close to city attractions and night life. Both castles are walking distance If a rental car is planned, I recommend making prior arrangements with the condo owner for on site parking access. I would recommend this rental unit for anyone seeking a short break in San Juan

La Puntilla Condo in Old San Juan

This condo was located in a perfect spot of Old San Juan for us. We are retired, in our early seventies, and this property was very convenient.It has all the emenities we needed. The owner provided excellent service. We could recommend this condo to our friends without hesitation. We plan to return next winter and hope to stay here again. We spent the entire month of January 2009 and it was definitely worth it.

Good stay, Bad charges

Our stay for 9 days during March of 09 was great in all areas except one. The location was perfect and the condo was nice and cozy but we got stuck with a ridiculous electric bill. In the lease it states that utility charges may not be excessive but exactly what "excessive" is, is not mentioned. The condo owner sent me a letter with my returned deposit stating that the electric bill for the month was $124.98 and she had decided to only give us an allowance of $42 for our 9 days. She deducted $83 from our deposit. She even mentioned that there were other people staying in the condo for a few days of the month but i guess we got stuck with their part of the bill too. Kinda BS if you ask me. Be careful when you sign the lease so that this does not happen to you. ( We turned off all lights when we were not there and the air-conditioner was only on at night)

About the host

Hosted by Ileana

Host profile image
My father had been working for a pharmaceutical company and was offered a transferred to PR which he gladly accepted. He brought the family to live in San Juan for approximately 3yrs from NYC. I absolutely fell in love with the island, its warm, friendly & genteel people as well as the fun and positive attitudes. Loved the greenery, flowers and mountainous countryside, very different from NYC. Learned about tropical fruits & vegetables, still many not available in the states today. My father' descendants were from Spain & settled in the San German area and helped abolish slavery. I'm proud to be of Puerto Rican descendants, love the island, it's people and their spirit. There is so much to see and do that I still haven't enjoyed. Puerto Rico has much to offer.

Why they chose this property

Why should you rent this property?
I take great pride in maintaining this condo in the best possible condition...an inviting and comfortable place to come to...a place that I would want to visit, stay and return to. My desire is to make guests feel at home.
When compared to other rentals in old San Juan, this apartment is larger than most, clean, well decorated, airy, with all the necessary kitchen accessories as well as quality towels and linen included. There are air conditioning units in the bedroom and in the kitchen, however, there's a wonderful cross breeze throughout the apartment when doors are opened.
Mr. Velez, caretaker, is on call for assistance.

What makes this property unique

There are only 2 steps into the building and apartment vs. other rentals that require climbing of steep stairways. Laundry room with washer/dryer within the apt. Gated community.
Convenient to all historical sites, restaurants, shopping (retail, jewelers & groceries), casinos, ferry and cruise ship piers as well as public beach.
Safe with Coast Guard residential facility at the end of the street and federal + local police monitoring area.
Quiet complex since it's away from central old San Juan, however, easy walk to all but you can enjoy your time in the apartment without all the traffic noise, etc.
