Peter was a very nice host who met us upon arrival and gave plenty of good suggestions for our stay. The location doesn’t get any better. Right at Calle la Princessa, and across the street from La Fortalezza. Security was there 24/7 so it was extremely safe. You’re still in Viejo without as much noise which is great. You can even see the ocean from the front doors! Amenities were sparse, but Peter was good about providing what we needed when we asked. No A/C and mosquitos were abundant. Bring your bug spray!

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Jul 2026
I was reading this review for the 1st time and saw that our guest stated that there was no A/C !!! which surprises us . There is no central a/c but there is a split unit located in the main bedroom which was working at the time and which is more than sufficient to cool this main bedroom and to a lesser degree the 2nd bedroom IF the doors to the adjoining kitchen and hallway bathroom are closed and the curtains are employed to seal off the closet spaces in the hallway and main bedroom and also to seal off the living room from the 1st bedroom . The renovation from a 1 family home to a house with 3 apartments required that the arrangement of rooms in both ground floor apartments be linear - arranged or extending in a straight line which might help understand our response above . In this particular apartment there is a living room followed by a 1 st bedroom then a narrow hallway with a bathroom followed by the main bedroom and finally the kitchen which borders the private patio

Fabulous location in Old San Juan

We really enjoyed the place, so close to everything in Old San Juan, yet also quiet and tucked away. A beautiful view of the ocean. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in Old San Juan

Absolutely loved our stay in Old San Juan! The location couldn’t be more perfect—everything we wanted to see and do was within walking distance. We felt incredibly safe being so close to the governor’s residence, with security always present. The host was fantastic, providing great communication throughout our stay. The charm and convenience of this property made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend staying here for anyone looking to explore the best of Old San Juan!

Peter was a great host. We arrived early yet he watched luggage and place was neat clean and old. We liked all the quirks due to layout and 100s year old place. VERY safe as police 1-3 out front 24/7 guarding the governor’s house. Noisy when she came and went - motorcades. Lots of tourists from cruise ships walk by since GREAT park and water views
Gated front door we left padlocked but open for views and breezes

Very Nice Location

Cozy apartment with old San Juan vibe, within walking distance of everything. Peter makes sure you are good and he was nice to acomodate our early check in and late check out. For sure coming back again. My parents are on their late 70s and enjoy the location and the apartment in general.

Great traditional apt in great location

We had a great time in Old San Juan at Peter’s place. He was really nice, made check-in East and even brought us fresh mangoes from his tree out back! Very traditional Old San Juan apt in a great, quiet location right near the Governor’s palace. One or two police officers are out front 24/7 because of the Governor’s palace but it makes it very safe. We had a great time.

Iconic location

Absolutely stunning, middle of everything, iconic location. The apartment is laid out in the New Orleans shotgun style which worked fine for my family but might be a little awkward if you are not staying with very close friends. The owner gave very good directions to the property and waited for us outside when we arrived. A great value and I would stay there again.

We are a not-quite-retired couple who spent a week at this VRBO. Hosts were very friendly and took great care of us. The accommodations were safe, clean, quiet, and very comfortable. We really do hope to return.The location is very walkable to all parts Old San Juan including both forts and cruise docks. This VRBO had added bonus of Governor's security across the street but very safe area, and added bonus of closeness to La Rogativa where various walking tours explain the area's significance, and we were privileged to witness a beautiful wedding there with live trio of talented musicians.Lots of great restaurants and shops nearby. All meals out were excellent and affordable. There was a well stocked grocery store a short walk away which we used for snacks and quick meals in the kitchen. No cars needed or really accommodated in Old San Juan. Highly recommend this VRBO for an extended visit to Old San Juan.

Location! Safe! Authentic San Juan home! We very much enjoyed staying here. The location was fabulous. Very comfortable, quiet, clean home. If you are looking for living like a local this is the place. Walking distance to many attractions, restaurants, street with night life. Easy to walk to grocery and plaza for morning coffee. Peter-very pleasant host, easily available if any concerns. Used Uber for local beaches-Balneario Escambron and Balneario Carolina Isla Verde and both safe to swim and hang with the locals. We only had a weekend and still able to enjoy every minute with lots of new experiences. We will be back San Juan!
