At the back of the apartment you will find a lovely, private patio with an outdoor dining table, a cooler, palms and orchids. As you are on the first floor, there are two steps up into the apartment. I love using good quality sheets for my guests and the kitchen has all you need for cooking. One bath and one beach towel will be available per person.
You will find shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap in the shower rack holder. There is an iron and ironing board, fire extinguisher is under the kitchen sink, first aid kit in the lower bathroom drawer and many other amenities.
Located within walking/uber distance to the Old San Juan, Condado, Miramar and Santurce where you will find many options for dining, museums, galleries, meet up locations for island tours and countless other discoveries.

The apartment is located 1/2 block from ocean views and a bike path. The apt is a 5 min walk to one of the best beaches in the San Juan area, El Escambron.

Other modalities of transport: electric scooters +buses. New restaurants have opened up nearby, for example: Tostados (breakfast+lunch).
This is a much loved home so please treat it with respect. Thank you.

Before departure, if your trash bag is full, please take your garbage down and across the street (there is a bin on the bike path). Check out is at 10am. Check in is at 2pm.
Golden rules: Please turn off anything not in use except the Wi-Fi and fridge. Keep lower chamber of water Berkey filter system 3/4 full so the carbon filters don’t dry out.

If you lose keys there is a $25 fee. If anything is broken during your visit, please let me know and we will find a fair way to resolve the issue. Thank you, Your host, Rebecca
