First Visit to Puerto Rico

This was our first visit to Puerto Rico. Our stay was excellent. Really enjoyed the location and the ease of exploring Old San Juan. We especially enjoyed our morning walks along the city walls. Highly recommend!

Aartsy haven in beautiful Old San Juan

The loveliest colonial style, eclectic art filled home in a quiet, residential area of Old San Juan. Haydee was a kind & informative host - I truly appreciated her thoughtful dining & cocktail recommendations & especially loved La Madre and St Germain Bistro. The verdant courtyard is the center & star of the home, so peaceful & welcoming. I’m a sucker for a great shower while traveling & I was not disappointed. The location was only a short walk to many places of interest, including Castillos San Cristóbal & San Felipe del Morro. I ran to El Escambrón beach, which was lovely and not overly crowded. I cannot recommend this jewel of a home enough - & look forward to returning as soon as I can.

A Magnificent Home Perfectly Located

This Veijo San Juan home was absolutely perfect in every way. Situated in the residential area in the NE quad of Veijo San Juan near San Cristobal, it was extremely quiet and peaceful, with very little auto traffic as the street is calm and narrow. It’s truly in a beautiful location with easy fast access to main roads from the nearby parking garage (no street parking). Inside, the home is something of a wonder. Beautifully decorated rooms with comfortable furniture and beds, large open spaces with high ceilings, two complete bathrooms—one on each end of the home. Dissecting the home in half is an open air courtyard filled with live plants and a fountain. The kitchen is open to this area. The layout is super ideal for two couples, or adult family travel with two good sized bedrooms that each have a bathroom and are on opposite ends of the home. It’s great for privacy! The kitchen is well equipped and more than enough. The fridge is ice cold! And the artwork throughout, and architecture, is so pleasing and interesting that it’s a joy to step back in for the night. Our host was so kind and generous with her time and her communication excellent! The home has everything you need, and it feels so personal. I would choose this home again and again. My adult son and I truly had a magnificent stay!

Family spring break

We had a great time! Host was a great communicator, met us at the property as she lives next door. Showed us around, went through the map with us pointing out favorite spots for us to try and checked in throughout our week stay. We had a later flight and she allowed us to leave our luggage for a bit instead of dragging it around town with us on our last day. We also had a minor incident of breaking something on accident within the property. She was very gracious and understanding about it. Would recommend and stay again! The only thing to note is there is no screen, door or anything between the open air patio and the rest of the house. Bugs were not an issue though which I am grateful for.

An absolute gem

Loads of charm, great location, and excellent communication from the host. We loved this space so much! Plenty of room for our family of four. Well provisioned for food prep and cooking, and just a short walk to the grocery. 10/10 property, I can’t imagine better accommodations for a stay in Old San Juan.

Amazing accommodations in Old San Juan

The apartment is perfect. It has everything you’d need from the kitchen supplies, to beach towels, to a comfortable bed with air conditioning, ideally located for a visit to Old San Juan. Beyond that, the feeling of the place is inspired. The art work, the interior courtyard, just everything felt right. We were sorry to leave.

Charming Stay

This is an old property, described accurately. It is well positioned and is an especially good value comparatively speaking. I wouldn't plan to spend hours "at home" but as a place to start your day with a cup of coffee in the courtyard and return at days end to sleep it was perfect. The host was very accommodating and responsive. Check other properties to appreciate the value.

Great location & beautiful place

Loved everything about the surroundings. Nice layout with open-air atrium. Could hear birds chirping from atrium. This atrium connects to master bedroom, which is very comfortable. All other rooms on main floor so it would be easy for someone with mobility issues to stay here. Gorgeous artwork throughout, very tasteful furnishings and everything needed for kitchen. Sleeps 4 in two bedrooms - maybe more with young kids. Most of all, this place is within easy walking distance (about 5 minutes) to main tourist sites but the neighborhood is quiet and two streets over from where all the shops and restaurants are. Just lovely!

Quaint Colonial Courtyard Rexalation

Five great female friends/sisters/niece decided on a trip. Quaint Colonial was the perfet place. We were able to enyoyed the local beaches, sights, shopping and restaurant then return to a most relaxing, fun home. We loved the center courtyard with the hammock and outdoor kitchen. We slept 2 per bed plus Haydee supplied a single blow up mattress that was perfect. It was tucked out of the way in a small room; stayed perfectly inflated and was very cozy. Check-in and out was incredibly simple. There were no outragous house rule, just simple respect for neighbors and property. Haydee was readily available via text/phone if necessary. Note about the area: Cell service is spotty at the beaches/forest area. If you are traveling via uber/taxi, make sure you have pre-arranged return transportation. We came across 2 groups that were desperate for return transport.

Arty zen retreat in Old San Juan

Beautiful old Spanish colonial home with a leafy internal courtyard & walls covered in interesting art. Great jumping-off point to explore old San Juan. Everything within walking distance. My only complaint … there was a party on the final night of our stay (I couldn’t work out where it was coming from .. possibly the neighbors.) I didn’t sleep until 1.30am, but thankfully my kids didn’t wake up. It was quiet for the rest of the time.
