Beautiful and secure property!! Very clean and well kept!

Owners were too kind and amazingly accommodating!! Sean picked us up from the airport and took us on a brief tour of the neighborhood and surrounding area on our way to the apartment. He even gave us some recommendations on things to see and where the best snorkeling was. Only the bedroom has AC but with all the windows open, the heat was not a problem. Americans, I have seen a few reviews that complain of the bars on the windows. This is the culture of PR. You will find this all over the island, so chill. Neighborhood felt safe and I went out alone at night and was fine (I'm a small white lady). If you stay here, you MUST go around the corner to Da Luigi. You won't regret it!! Will definitely stay here again and recommend to all my friends. Thanks Christiane and Sean for making our honeymoon so enjoyable and for answering all our questions!!! Many blessings to you!!

Clean and Pretty

I picked this location because of its appearance and the short distance to the beach. I had been to Puerto Rico before, so I knew what things I wanted to see and do. Getting around town without a car wasn't hard because of the buses (75 cents) and taxis at reasonable rates. I also did some walking as the grocery store wasn't too far away. The owner of the property had several places he recommended. By the way, transportation to and from the airport was provided. The bedrooms were kept cool by ceiling fans and small air conditioners in each one. No air conditioning in the kitchen area, but there was a ceiling fan. I absolutely loved all of the handmade tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. Very artistic. Everyone around the area was friendly and I felt safe, happy, and very relaxed. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit San Juan.

Will choose to stay here again!

Owners have presented this property accurately. It is an experience in the local community, not a spa or resort. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Being picked up at the airport was so convenient. And, the owner's quick tour of the neighborhood helped us to scope out what we wanted to do. Beach is very close as well as a wide variety of restaurants and shops and even a grocery store. Public transportation just was a short walk. And taxi service is reasonable and easy as well. Though there were a couple of properties that were not as well maintained as Eco-Posada, I felt safe and comfortable (two retired female art teachers--no hubbies on this visit). Owner's are pleasant, extremely helpful and always there when ever we had questions.

Sketchy neighborhood, place in poor condition

I admit the place was very inexpensive, and it is worth what you will pay. But neighborhood is not very nice and the place is in need of upkeep. There were actually window panes missing in the jalousie windows and almost all of the cranks to open the windows were broken. The tile floor is chipped everywhere and needs to be replaced, and there was even a cover missing on an electrical outlet. You will need to go right away and get toilet paper and paper towels. The owner was nice and helpful and the place was clean. They do include a pickup from the airport, which was very convenient. You are just getting what you pay for here. If I were to return to PR I would spend more money for a nicer place.

AWESOME!!!!

GREAT PLACE. Rented the 1 bedroom upstairs for a week, nice and quiet. Great A/C and very comfy bed. Love the area & restaurants near buy. (Italian restaurant near, Peruvian too and tons of the local food too, all very near). The most outstanding part are the owners which will guide you and even provide a ride to and from Airport to Eco Posada. Highly recommend the Eco Posada

Great Service

We stayed in one of their 1 bedroom apartments. Clean, close to the beach (5 mn walk) and main shopping streets (restaurants). The apartment was good considering the very decent rate but what makes the "real" difference is the 5 Star service from the wners. Helpful and friendly. Service from and to the airport was the cherry on the Sundae. Highly recommend the place for those interested in being with the locals but at the same time close to the trendy Ashford street.

Great place.

Great place to stay. 5 minute walk to the beach. Living among the locals, not a resort. The apartment was even prettier in person. Would recommend getting a rental car while there to explore the island.

Great place to stay

I can't say enough of the wonderful hospitality that we received on our stay. We stayed for 8 days in December. It was an easy walk to the beach even on my crutches. Great italien restaurant a block away. The bed was very comfortable and it was a perfect place for a couple to stay.It was nice to have a private place to sit outside after our days of exploring and swimming.We rented a car from Entreprise. If you book online it is very affordable.It has many shops and grocery stores a few blocks away. Christine went way beyond her duties to help us. I definitively recommend this place. Thank you so much Christine for everything you did for us .

Great place to stay in Puerto Rico - beaches, veranda, hammock, restaurants

This is a fantastic place to stay in Puerto Rico. We stayed in the 1 bedroom apartment with the veranda and hammock and practically lived outside which we were there. The unit is small, but very clean and the tilework is even more beautiful than I imagined. You have everything you need (including internet and cable tv) to make your stay comfortable. Christiana picked us up from the airport and let us know where to go in the neighborhood. She and her family (Sean & Virginia) are the ultimate hosts. Nearby, there is a fantastic beach just down Taft Street and great restaurants within walking distance. Da Liugi is a gem - Italian place just around the corner - really good food. And Kamoli Cafe is amazing. We ate 2 meals there. Great coffee, fun and funky ambience and the best soup I think I ever had - pumpkin ginger! The Super Max grocery store has everything you need! Taking the bus to San Juan is probably best - it's so hard to find parking there, but it's an incredible city! We did the El Morro and San Cristobal forts in addition to El Yungque, the rainforest. We rented a car very inexpensively through Charlie's Car Rental. It's very easy to get around in a car in Puerto Rico. Also recommend kayaking the bio day and taking the ferry to Culebra to Flamenco Beach. Gorgeous. Can't wait to go back. We saw the family's units in old San Juan and the views from those porches are incredible. That would also be a great place to stay - more central. You won't miss if you rent with Christiana and her family.

Exceptional service and Great deal

The apartment was absolutely beautiful the kitchen was fully functional and the staff was exceptional. i honestly felt like we were home we stayed for 12 days. the transportation was cheap and whenever we needed a ride christian was glad to accommodate us. She and her husband truly understand the importance of customer service. the rooms were clean and extra towels were provided. The beach is less then a 5 minute walk and the supermarket is a bus ride away. always remember to carry change on you thats key when traveling on bus T5, but if your short on money the bus drivers allow you to get on. You need to try the restaurants around the apartment their tasty and economical. if your a type of person that enjoys traveling throughout the island you must rent a car. enterprise is the cheapest. everyone is polite in puerto rico and we never felt we were in danger at anytime. If dancing is your thing you must go to latin roots. This place is awesome and i will definitely stay here again, the price is reasonable and the service is great, give it a shot you will be glad you did.

Hidden Gem

My husband and I just returned from our 5 day stay at Posada Colonial. Christiane picked us up at the airport and showed us the local hot spots (bus stop,beach access, 24 hr grocery store, restaurants) on the way to the apartment. We stayed in the front upstairs apartment and was not disappointed. The apt. was perfect for 2 people. The neighborhood was quaint and charming. We never felt unsafe. My husband and I got out and walked the neighbor and walked all the way to the Marriott in Condado. The restaurants in the neighborhood were excellent esp, Luigi's. The BEST PIZZA EVER!!! Bebo's was also very good. We liked the fact that we were able to walk to the grocery store and buy items for breakfast. Christiane's recommendation of taking the local bus (T5) to Old San Juan was spot on. Trying to find a parking place is a nightmare and driving is CRAZY! Take the bus...it's $.75 each way and soo worth it.

Perfect location and a family atmosphere

We stayed in the one bedroom upstairs apartment. The unit was very cozy with beautiful authentic interiors. Everything you need to spend a wonderful vacation is within a walking distance!!! We stayed there for 6 nights and it was just perfect. Living in this apartment you will have something of living at your friends' house experience. Virginia and Christiane are charming hosts who will advise on local transport, facilities, typical restaurants, beaches and places to see. If we will return in Puerto Rico we already know where to stay…

Wonderful Host and Hostess!!!

We arrived and Christiane was right there at the airport ready to pick us up. She is so sweet and has so much information the whole ride to the apt. When we opened the door it was exactly what you see on the pictures. So bright and cheery and comfortable. Just what we wanted, the real taste of Puerto Rico in a neighborhood. Close to everything you need! It is a wonderful place to stay and enjoy what San Juan has to offer. Christiane was so helpful in anything that we needed. We had our dates wrong for our stay and she was so gracious to help us find something else and even took us there. We cannot say enough about what you get for the very reasonable price. It was the most special, quaint apartment we loved it. Thank you again Chriastiane and Sean ( her fabulous, talented carpentar husband) We will tell everyone about you !!!! Great Beach close, Bebo's close, bus close, great little coffee shop close (ask Christiane) Old San Juan close...wonderful !

great vacation rental

I stayed at two different apartments in this house (there are two upstairs and two downstairs; have locked gates which make you feel very safe) and they were both gorgeous! very clean and charming. Christiane is WONDERFUL! she was the perfect landlord. she picked me up from the airport, gave me a little tour of Condado/Ocean Park, and she was always there if i had any questions. i highly recommend staying here! great place for a small family, a couple, or a small girls get away. It is right in the middle of everything (supermarket about 5 blocks, great restaurants less then 3 blocks, beach about 3 blocks). I also took a bus ride to Old San Juan (very easy to get there and only cost about $1.50). Cannot wait to go back and stay in this lovely place.

Beautiful Apartment, very comfortable and safe!

Christiane and Sean were extremely friendly and helpful! They picked us up from the airport when we arrived, and gave us a ride back there at the end of our 5 day stay. The apartment was beautiful, and the weather was warm and perfect. (even in December!) We felt very secure behind two locked gates, and happy that our stay was a short walk from the beach, several restauraunts, and the hotel where our daily tours were set up. We had a great, time, and would certainly stay here again. 5 stars! -Michael and Sarah

Gracious and Inviting!!

I have to say that I was so overwhelmed with the wonderful care I received from Victoria while I was in PR. Starting with coming out to the rental car location so that I could follow her to the apt. Then taking me on a tour of the neighborhood and beyond so that I could familiarize myself with the area and show me great places to eat. Great information and conversation! I stayed in the downstairs 1bdrm first night then moved upstairs. Which gave me an opportunity to see more of the wonderful tilework! These apts are simply beautiful and very clean. Victoria checked in with me to make sure I was having a great time. The neighborhood is very homey and close to just about anything you would want to do. Even while I was there, I showed the apts to people I met and they even said that they would love to stay there. I am recommending their apts to anyone that wants that neighborhood feel rather than the "tourist" feel.

Affordable, friendly, and central place to stay

Christiane, Virginia and Sean were wonderful. From the prompt and complimentary airport pickup, to the free load of laundry, to the prompt service when we had a question Christiane, Virginia and Sean deliver. We stayed in the front downstairs unit and loved it. Even with Earl's wrath we enjoyed our stay! This home is located in a great neighborhood. It is a quick 10 minute walk to an amazing beach. BTW all beaches in PR are amazing! It is also a 30 minute walk to go through the Condado area. There are plenty of food options within walking distance. We never felt unsafe on our walks during the day and night. Renting a car is easy here as there is plenty of free parking. For budget minded travelers who like the idea of giving money to real locals and not mega corporations this is a great spot. One other note having other prior vrob experience where the condo owner was not on site I enjoyed the service Christiane, Virginia and Sean provided that other owners are unable to provide. Bravo!!!

Great trip, gorgeous beach, excellent hospitality

We just returned from a wonderul 6 night stay at Pasada Colonial. We decided the beach at Ocean park was the best. We ventured to other areas of Condado, Luquillo and Vieques. Taft was clean, beautiful and great waves for play. We had 3 kids with us and the convience of walking was great as well as having a kitchen (much better choice than a hotel). We also really like staying in a neighborhood; I do enjoy getting to experience the culture and feel less like a tourist. The aparment was clean, cute and beautifully done. True artists! The hosts were so accommodating! Wonderful people!

REAL DEAL!

I had read numerous (about 90) reviews on San Juan "specialty lodging" in Trip Advisor and that lead me to decided to stay stay at Posada Colonial...and the reviews were right on! I had to divide my stay because of availability and got to stay in both downstairs apartments; they were both nice apartments with distinct tile work...The building is located in a real working class puertorican neighborhood... you can walk to the beach or take the bus. I will definitely come back its a short trip..3 hours away and I am in my vacation home!! + PRICE IS a GREAT DEAL>>>

We have just returned fro...

We have just returned from a 10 day stay in the 2 upstairs apartments. We had a great time, and would definitely stay again. The apartments are small, but comfortable and efficient. Just about everything you need is provided, and a trip to the grocery was all we needed to do. The owners have done some great decorating with hand painted tiles. The beach was close and was great fun, and the bus stop was nearby for exploring San Juan. Our hosts were very helpful and kind. Thanks Christiane for a great holiday stay! Perhaps we will meet again!
