10/10 Exceptional

Family stay.

We had an amazing time. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The bathroom and shower were clean. We did see a couple bugs, but I do understand we’re on a tropical island. They were tiny and not very overwhelming. It was great to have an air conditioning type unit in each area. It’s a great location everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this to anybody going to Puerto Rico. One little sidenote, my daughter absolutely loved the ice cream shop across the street. And the convenience store on the corner had just about anything we needed.

Adriana, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was ok. For the same price I could have gotten a hotel room with two beds, pool and rooftop terrace, but I was duped by Hotels.com thinking it was $75 cheaper, till Casa of Essence, added the $65 "property fee," which no one else charged.
Bryan, 2-night trip

Check in was so easy and the host was friendly and helpful. Our room was so beautiful and the location was perfect, such a great experience for our first time in PR. I definitely recommend this place if you plan to stay in old San Juan.

Very good location. Quirky but fun decor. One down side - the bed was full size, not queen or king which we prefer.

Stay here if you don't mind noise

Very good place to say. Good location. Spacious Room. Well secured. The only thing is music from neighbor bars until 2:00 AM. I would stay again only if no noise.
