Historic 1895 Pent House apartment with amaizin Ocean Views

This special place is close to everything. It is the perfect location to explore all the beautiful historic Old San Juan sites, directly across the street from the San Cristobal Fortress on the corner of Calle del Sol and Norzagaray Streets. Authentic Puerto Rican restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, and souvenir shops are only steps from the property. The airport is only a 15-minute Uber ride; Condado and Isla Verde Beach are only 10 minutes away. DISCLOSURE: This is a penthouse apartment on the fifth floor. There are no elevators; guests must be able to climb 63 stairs to access the apartment. It's important to keep this in mind when making this reservation. The building does not have a power generator; if there is a power outage, the apartment will be without AC and lights. We will not refund for utility outages. On-street parking is free but limited and is not available overnight. Street parking will get hefty tickets overnight, but during the day, it is free.

Power does go out. AC in rooms was great. Consider new mattress or covers.

We stayed the last 2 nights of our 8 day trip in this apartment. It has very cool views out the front windows. The lack of AC in main space is common and didn’t bother us, the AC in the bedrooms worked well. Would recommend new bed linens/coverings etc but everything was clean. No coffee maker but I didn’t mind because learned how to use a French Press. Cute neighborhood with fabulous restaurant and also a cute (locals) bar down the street. I would stay here again.

Perfect location with view of water and fort and walkable to everything. We loved it. There are lots of stairs to go up and no elevator. But as long as you’re okay w that it’s perfect for exploring old San Juan.

I was stoked to be staying in the heart of Old San Juan, but unfortunately there was an issue with the apartment that required I be moved to a new location. The host was gracious in offering me an equally nice place to stay which was still pretty convenient to where I wanted to explore. Over all, it is unfortunate I couldn’t stay here, but if there is any problems, trust they will be resolved with integrity.

I reached out to the host awaiting check in instructions - heard nothing until after check in time so we were already in Old Town San Juan having dinner. The host finally responded that there had been a pipe problem and sent us to another place 1 bedroom 1 bath no where near old town. nowhere near Old Town. WHETOWN.

We showed up to a locked gate and had to be let in by a passing mailman. When we finally got in to the apartment we found there was no running water.. no working sink, no working shower, no working toilet. Our contact Victor, moved us to a beautiful location the next day but this first apartment was rough.

The location is great, the ocean view is great, the stairs are relatively high, people with bad legs need to be considered, the owners are friendly

We had an amazing time. The place is great. Everything worked well and the view is spectacular. We walked everywhere from here. Loved it.

I just slept and showered here during my stay in Old San Juan. It really wasn't that bad. The air conditioning and the windows leaked a little bit. And I found a roach one night. But the bedding was clean. The towels were clean and I felt safe. Victor was always communicative and easy to get ahold of.The gate instructions on the VRBO listing need to be updated. They were not accurate when I arrived.

Great location in old San Juan. Easy access to all activities. Beautiful views of the ocean from the living room. Great space for the family. Parking difficult, but this is Old San Juan it’s difficult everywhere. Would stay here again.

Okay I will start off by saying, yes there are a lot of steps until you get to the apartment. With that being said, it’s totally worth it. The views are out of this world.

The location of the property was fantastic. Getting into the building was a bit confusing and the directions for entering the building should be updated. The bedroom AC units worked well, and it was pretty quiet inside the apartment as well.

Amazing view, great location, had everything we needed besides full house air conditioning. This is on the 5 th floor (without elevator) ) lots of steps but view is amazing! It has air conditioning in the bedrooms only so the place it self is steamy (but typical for Puerto Rico) We came looking for a place to stay that was part of the culture and historic feel. This place is it!

This was a charming apartment, amazing views, and a good location. There are a lot of steps to get there, don’t overpack. Neighbors all seemed friendly as well. Enjoy!

The property might have a few rinks and areas of improvement and the 65 stairs are a workout but the view from the living rooms makes up for it.

We enjoyed the location of the apt. , which was very spacious. Easy walks around old San Juan. Bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom & kitchen had everything we needed for a short two night stay. Our host was very responsive to my questions, and prompt on their reply. Thank you

They were not kidding with 65 steps part, apartment clean, instructions clear enough, one neighbor one day wasnt having a good morning. It was a decent resting and landing place for us.

Great simple condo in the perfect location in OSJ. Direct view of the ocean is a real treat. Two comfortable beds with air conditioning, and a well-supplied, functional kitchen and bath. Apartment wasn't clean when we arrived, but that was quickly sorted by a text to the owner and a visit of the cleaners. There are lots of steps up a dingy stairwell, but they lead to a sweet little pad in a perfect location.

It was extremely hard to get in and out as the keys to the gate didn’t work due to rust and age. We were assisted quickly! The view is beautiful as pictured. The beds were very comfortable. We had a great time walking around Old San Juan. The towels definitely need to be replaced and the apartment needs a scrub down for sure!

Old San Juan may typically have power or water outages for an hour or two, but we lacked any running water for our entire 3-day stay - and it’s humid. Great view, but very worn property. Try elsewhere. We stayed for 3 days during a festival, which closed down VSJ to all traffic. After the trek across town and uphill, we stood in the streets locked out until a neighbor took pity on us. A new lock was installed on the building, and the VRBO listing was not updated with the door code. Finally inside, we found the unit hadn’t been turned over yet - understandable given the cleaners also had to travel by foot. They came through that evening. Unfortunately, cleaning must have used the last of the water from the back of the toilet. …By the second day, we became proficient at purchasing gallon water jugs and carrying them up the hill to avoid making the cleaner’s life even worse. Although the host helped us with the code and the cleaner issues after the fact, it was clear our reservation fees did not cover running water. I would recommend the owners to replace the grimy/corroded knobs, switches, and fixtures in the unit - and to get a backup water tank like the rest of the neighborhood seems to have.
