Live Your Best Life In An Actual Palace

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a palace? Ours is a romantic 200-year-old architectural wonder built for one of San Juan's earliest rum barons and remains one of the most beautiful properties in the old city. It features soaring, 18-foot ceilings, cathedral-style acoustics, marble floors and Moroccan tiles. You'll be surrounded by simple beauty, shower in a gigantic Roman spa, cook in an inspirational kitchen and listen to the coqui frogs in your private courtyard.

Interesting property we unfortunately were not able to stay at due to travel disruption (broad-scale and lasting through the booking). As such, it would not be fair to comment regarding cleanliness or "most other". Would, however, note we are familiar with this building (gorgeous and well situated on Calle Devan Justo); and can minimally advise per: Two issues: (1) Make SURE you are VERY aware (when booking) there are both Upper and Lower (halves) of the property; in descriptions or listing, there are 3 and 6 beds options; if you choose the 3 room option you get the ground-level where the door at the stair to access 2nd lvl. is locked. Suggestion to always rent the whole house to ensure 2nd.access and more privacy. While obvious the first/ground-level option is partialcularly "at sidewalk level" ----just know this is a VERY, VERY busy street with shops/bars close-by. We love the city energy, flavor, and loud life of people and cars; just make sure you know people will be looking into the interior areas unless you close the shutters (or have the whole house/private areas upstairs). Most important (2); buy travel insurance like we did. Cannot recommend this enough noting the owner's strict cancellation policy poor communication (cut-pasted "hope you enjoyed check in" despite our several notes/notices of issues); before the later "you should have purchased insurance" (we we did); owner will not collaborate with VRBO's extenuating circumstances and keeps host/cleaning fees

unique place

Enjoyed the stay, parking was/is not good deal, huge fines for parking in street near building. {where locals park}. Character of building is worth the stay. Wear insect repellent, as open roof does allow for woodland creatures.

Perfect spot to stay in Old San Juan

I booked this for a friends trip to Puerto Rico and it was perfect for our stay. Incredibly convenient to everything in Old San Juan. Everyone on the trip was wowed by the house and the architecture and the air conditioning was clutch for those 90+ degree nights.

Lots of charm for 3 couples

Unique special home for 3 couples. 18ft ceilings in this beautiful place with lots of ceiling fans throughout to help combat the heat. There is only AC in the bedrooms, which were so cool and lovely. The one bathroom worked out fine for us all as well, as the shower room is separate. Location, location, location was perfect for access to restaurants and shopping. Don't bother with a car for this part of your trip, but if you do, parking lots are nearby and cost about $30/24h.

Location

First time to san juan for mist of us and we coukd not ask for a better place. Locatio ,location and location. Walking distance to so many great restaurants, shopping and bars. Night life was amazing and all just a few blocks away. Did I mention how great the location is? The weather made me catatonic when I contemplated my return to hell, otherwise know as Maine. Lest i get off track
 the lone bathroom and shower was never an issue. We will definitely make an encore appearance here soon.

Totally Unique and Amazing!

This place was unlike anywhere we have ever stayed on vacation, and I say that in a VERY good way! Upon arrival we were greeted with an expansive layout, which included a huge kitchen, living room and dining room and that was just the start. The open-air huge courtyard was something out of a movie, it is hard to describe how old-world it was! When it rained it was magical. Two out of the three bedrooms had small corner sinks which was nice to get ready in the evening and morning (the third bedroom didn't have a sink, but the main bathroom does so that was helpful). Each bedroom had a very strong AC which was welcome. Just be aware that the rest of the apartment does not have AC, but the airflow is amazing with the shutters open in the main living area. We honestly didn't have any issues with it. The spa shower and tub were like something out of an old movie set. You will just have to experience them for yourselves! Very cool! Jon communicated frequently and was easy to reach if you needed anything, but we were good the entire stay. The location was literally smack dab in the middle of Old San Juan, so it was a quick jumping off spot to the entire town. We had a car, and there was an easy to find garage parking about a block away, but honestly, I'd recommend NOT taking a car into Old San Juan due to the limited street parking. It is just a major headache and is an additional cost to pay for (nothing to do with the rental, just FYI for those with autos).

Location, location, location!

We loved our stay! The bedrooms were very comfortable and we all reported sleeping better than usual! We were there during an exceptional heat wave but the AC units in each bedroom were quiet and effective. Though we could hear the revelry of the street sounds, it did not bother our sleep. Located right in the middle of Old San Juan we could walk to all the sites — including Castillo San Felipe del Morro — and restaurants as we wanted. A short Uber ride got us to the beach. The one suggestion we have would be to add a grab bar at the entrance to, and another in, the shower for those with mobility issues. All-in-all, 5 stars!

Rum baron in old San Juan

The rum baron house is awesome. Plenty of room and the single bathroom is was not an issue at all - we were 4 adults. The location is fabulous for Old San Juan, so close to a lot of great spots. The bedrooms have AC if that is needed and Jon as great to communicate with. We would definitely stay there again next time we head to PR.

Loved the 200yr old Rum Mansion

This was a perfect location in Old San Juan for walking, shopping and dining. The property was above and beyond our expectations. We were so excited to to get out and see Old San Juan that we didn't have enough time to enjoy all the property had to offer - from the amazing kitchen to the outdoor sitting area. We would love to stay here again should we visit Puerto Rico. James - Arizona

Living the culture

The accommodations were exactly as described. The living space is open air (no A/C) and the bedrooms are A/C. If you are not open to that experience this is not for you. My 19 yr old girls LOVED the feel of the openness and embraced the culture. While you can hear everything outside it was part of the experience and became part of the memories that we brought back with us. There were 6 of us and 1 shower area but we easily managed showers. The same with the room with the toilet and sink
 Simply not an issue. Each bedroom had a sink and mirror which Allows convenience to getting cleaned up to go out. We were 3 blocks from groceries. Eateries and bars were within blocks in every direction! Jon the host was very responsive anytime he was contacted. There was no parking there but a parking garage a few blocks away and a little further was outdoor parking.. All easy to get to. The beds were very comfortable. My ONLY critique would be for the kitchen to be a bit more stocked. There is enough to get by but with 6 people it was challenging . Would definitely stay again! Thank you Jon!

Amazing and historic space!

The pictures don’t do this place justice! It is awesome and we enjoyed it from the moment we arrived. The fans and many doors throughout help to keep it from being too hot and the rooms are nicely cooled with individual units at night. It would be good to know that on Friday and Saturday there can be some noise outside occasionally as people return home from bars and stuff at night, but by no means did it have any dramatic effect on our trip.
