-Puerto Rico’s infrastructure suffers from spontaneous outages. That being said-power, water and internet may suffer an outage during your stay.

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this VRBO! The host's communication was excellent from start to finish, making everything stress-free. The check-in process was very easy, and we really appreciated having our own private parking space. The only thing that would have made our stay even better would have been having a washer and dryer on-site, especially since we stayed for 10 days. Other than that, everything was great, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We'd happily stay again!

Apartment was very clean and in great condition. Location is a good central location which makes it easy to get to all ye local sites. Listing did say it had washer and dryer which is one of the reasons I chose it, however, it seems they had been removed. Listing may need updated to reflect this. Overall, great stay.
