Excellent response to questions. When we arrived in San Juan, we received all the information to enter the building and our room. Security was great and easy to access. Our patio room was quite in the back.

Very nice apartment unit on the 3rd floor. We stayed at the Crystal Apartment. Because it is Old San Juan we could hear the people downstairs as there is a bar adjacent to this building, till the early hours of the morning but we knew that would be a possibility because of its location. The bedrooms, living area, kitchen/dining and bathroom were all really nicely decorated. Only thing was that I would suggest better Cleaning Staff, when we got in there was chewed gum placed on the wall behind the sofa and used dirty napkins inside one of the decorative pillows on the same. Aside from that it was a great place and also cute building for picture session inside and out.

The host was excellent , very responsive, and provided helpful recommendations for places to eat and visit. We appreciated how easy the check-in process was, and the communication was seamless throughout our stay. Our stay at Cada of Essence was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect – close to everything we wanted to explore . The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home.

Nice stay
I love the location which is a walking distance to local shops, cruises port, fort and bus terminal. The check-in and out process is very smooth, the property manager response my questions on call and text quick. I really enjoy the room even there is A/C only on the bedroom. It has a small garden/bird house that is very interesting

We stayed in the Bambu room. It was a room. Nothing more. Could only open one suitcase at a time. That being said, nothing wrong with it. Although I didn't see any staff while I was there (more of an AirBnB space), they did allow me a late checkout with an extra charge, which was nice.

Old San Juan stay
It was located within 10 min walking distance from the terminal which is great. Local shops, restaurants all right there. Market next door. El meson up the street within walking distance. Just an older property. Small room but comfortable. The air conditioning never really got cold. For one night it was good. A longer stay with no really cold ac would be a problem
