About this property
5 min walk to a beautiful beach and a big shady park! 25min walk to Old San Juan
Welcome to the Tropical Pod! Your private entrance is to the right of the middle main door. Please find the lockbox on the white metal gate. Use the code to both open and close the lockbox.
This quiet two bedroom comfortably sleeps four people, the maximum this condo allows. Sleeping accommodation for an infant/s can be arranged at no extra charge.
At the back of the apartment you will find a lovely, private patio. As you are on the first floor, there are no steps to conquer with luggage. 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 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 average uber ride to Plaza Colon, Old San Juan is $5, or if you walk at a leisurely pace along the ocean (gorgeous views) you will arrive at the entrance of the Old City in 25 minutes. The apartment is located 1/2 block from ocean views and a bike path, and it is a 5 min walk to one of the best beaches in the San Juan area, El Escambron. You are steps away from a beautiful large park (great for kids as it hosts big walking paths and a playground) the Hilton hotel, hosting restaurants and the Olas Spa. Other modalities of transport: electric scooters +buses. New restaurants have opened up nearby, for example: Tostados (breakfast+lunch) and Celeste (expensive and yummy french food).
This is a much loved home so please treat it with respect. Thank you.
Call me upon arrival if anything is amiss or if you have any questions. And please provide arrival and departure times so I can create work flow for my cleaning team. If you arrive after sun down, I will have my cleaning pro leave the outside light on for you.
This apartment is in a building that has full-time tenants and other rental units; following the golden rule of respectfully quiet between 10pm and 8am is required.
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 rule: Please turn off anything not in use except the Wi-Fi and fridge. Keep lower chamber of water Berkey filter system 2/3 full.
Thank you,
Your host,
Rebecca

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Zilenziger
I have been a host since 2013 and love providing an easy, clean and pretty place for guests to take a break from their usual busy lives.
I am a professional photographer and travel quite a bit, often using short term rentals as my means of housing while away from home. From a travelers perspective, I have a good idea about what guests are looking for and my goal is to make sure you have a great, well-deserved vacation.
