Clean, convenient and well equipped.

Location was great nearby train and bus stations. Nearby convenience store for any necessities. Host provided beach chairs, and towels which made getting out to the beach convenient without having to purchase things. Loved the back patio area and was very comfortable. Would stay again.

Beautiful house!

Everything was clean and as it showed in the pictures! It was a quiet, relaxing home. I loved that it was close to everything we wanted to experience in San Juan. Communication with the host was easy, and they were very quick to respond to any questions I had.

Cozy Casita

All as was shown in the listing. Fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of teas and coffee from which to choose to start the day. Beds were comfortable. Felt safe. Area was well lit. Nice back patio area. Do need to bring your own soap, shampoo and conditioner.

Wonderful space to make a temporary home

We really enjoyed the layout of the space and the relaxed feeling! Spent a lot in back which was especially nice when it was raining! We were able to cook some great meals, sleep in, and get up early. Neighborhood felt safe late at night when were were driving in from a night out. Thanks!

Casita Is A Gem

The Casita was very comfortable. Having the beach chairs and towels available allowed us to pack lighter for our luggage. The washer and dryer meant we didn't need to pack a lot of clothes. The patio was spacious and comfortable. A nice spot for the evening meal. We enjoyed a few meals outside and also relaxed with a good book. We had a wonderful visit. Gil was very responsive and gave us some tips about the local area.

Winning in Puerto Rico

Better than advertised. Spacious, clean, affordable. We rented a car to explore the entire island during our stay. Easy access to main thoroughfares with a gas station less than a block away. 100% better than a hotel room and communication was easy. Gil's responses were timely, everything was in order. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for a 5-star place to call home while visiting Puerto Rico, this is it!

Truly a Diamond in the Rough!

The Host is very amicable and friendly! Made suggestions and helped us navigate our visit. This location is very reasonably priced and close to pretty much everything, even if you have to hop in a Uber. Walking distance to the train and all the conveniences needed! Popeyes, CVS, etc. The Casita is cozy and reminded me of being in my tia Lulu's house but with all the modern upgrades! The Veranda is just perfect and spacious and a great place to have a morning cup of coffee where you will here a Rooster crowing nearby, putting a smile on your face as you know you are in PR! The Host, Mr. Rivera and his Casita is a perfect place to stay! I highly recommend it!!

What a wonderful stay! The home was centrally located to all areas of the surrounding San Juan areas that we needed to get to. The home is beautiful, spacious, and had everything we needed for a week-long stay. The host, Gil, was attentive and responsive to the few questions we had. Will absolutely book here again.

The house is really welcoming spacious and it has everything your need for a stay away from home. Its location is very central as it has quick access to the freeway, food and other neighborhoods where you can find more restaurants and nightlife.

Accurate: Diamond in the Rough

Gil was responsive with getting us checked in a timely manner although we arrived late bc of getting out of the airport (Covid19 travel restrictions) and getting our car rental. The home is beautiful, comfortable and clean and close to everything in the San Juan area by car. We felt safe staying at this location and would stay here again.

Great location…

It is a great place to stay…unfortunately, the water heater stopped working the first day and it was not a pleasant experience taking cold showers. We also experience some trouble with the electronic gate. Without these incidents, it would have been a superb stay.

Great business trip stay!

The property was great. The 1st moment showed it all. They had a garage door that opened into a private parking place. They had pre-programmed that door and the entrance door. The stay went off without a problem. The home was well stocked and the covered outside patio was a dream. I am quite sure we will stay there again.

Pick this one!!!

House is so pretty and clean. Has smart assets that make your saty very combinient. Location is perfect. I was told by a local that it was a bad neighborhood but I didn't see that or experience anything bad. Neighborhood was quiet at night time. Perfect to rest with the sound of coquis. Hostess has beach items that were aviable for use. Nice patio we were a big group that stay on different locations but this one was the meeting point to have a cocktail before going to explore the city. Really nice property I would stay here next time.

La casita muy cómoda .

La ubicación de la casita es buena, porque caes a todos lados. La limpieza es excelente A+ todo en su lugar y bien espaciosa por dentro, la decoración espectacular, los aires acondicionados funcionan muy bien y el agua con muy buena presión. Lo único que debo recomendarle al dueño para mejorar la estadía son dos cositas: poner televisor en el cuarto y en la sala, no creo que esto sea imposible y muy costoso, y una compañía de Internet mejor o mas capacidad. Pero en resumidas cuentas todo en la casita es perfecta, inteligente y segura. No se dejé llevar por el vecindario porque todo queda cerca y tiene mucha seguridad. Por lo menos nos sentimos bien seguros en la semana que estuvimos. Muchas gracias por todo.

wonderful place on wonderful Puerto Rico

A wonderful place. THe Casita has everything you need to rest after a busy day of beaching, hiking, or sightseeing. Place is modern and clean, new and clean bathroom, good internet (we watched movies on our laptop), good kitchen with a great coffeemaker, airconditiong to escape the heat from outside. Very safe setup with a keyed driveway gate. It comes with beach towels and beach chairs, a cloth drying line, and a hose in the patio to rinse off. Beds are very comfortable. Place it very strategic for daytrips to El Yunque, Arecibo, Old San Juan, and the northern beaches. One warning for future guests: there are some major potholes in the road. Please drive slowly, and around the potholes, to avoid damage to you bumpers.
