Beautiful rooftop, excellent location, clean apartment. Communication with host was perfect and I would book this place again. Love San Juan and this is a great place to stay. Easy walk to Balneario del Escambrón and into Old San Juan, plus the Puerta de Tierra area has lots to offer. Highly recommend.

First of all, the host Rosemarie was so helpful going the extra mile when we had questions or requests. Second, the apartment is pretty, comfortable, easy walking distance to Old San Juan and Embarcon Beach. We found everything we needed here and could truly relax and also easily do the things we wanted to. The roof deck is great. A wonderful stay.

This is an amazing place to stay! It’s close enough to Old SnJuan that you can walk or just get a scooter and be there in minutes. It’s easy to get to with uber unlike downtown old a Juan. Close to the beach and there are several delicious restaurants on the same street and a fantastic hamburger shop a few blocks up. Gas station and grocery close by. Can’t say enough good things about the views and the owners!! You will not find better views in all of San Juan! The owners are so nice and accommodating! Can’t wait to return!!

Wonderful stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The location and apartment were accurate to the description- really cool to have your own private terrace and view! The location was great- about a 20 minute walk to old San Juan, and a short uber drive to the airport. Everything was clean and communication was excellent. Would highly recommend!

Wow!

The owner is extremely nice and helpful with recommendations. The property is perfectly located where all of old San Juan is a short walk away. There is a bar nearby but if you have earplugs its ok and its only loud on Friday and Saturday. Loved my stay here, definitely will be staying here when I visit next!

We had so much fun here! Spent most of our time on the terrace, which is spacious and just beautiful. But when it rained we were nice and cozy inside as well. Rosemarie is so gracious and helpful, and very responsive. Many walkable eateries are nearby, we Ubered everywhere else. This is a fantastic landing spot in a convenient location.

Second Time: Consistently Excellent

We first stayed here in 2022 and were very happy with the apartment and the neighborhood. Three years later we returned and once again were super impressed with the cleanliness and noticed the host had even made some upgrades. We love the neighborhood because it’s close to everything but is not flooded with tourists. Rosemarie goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and is responsive.

A quick trip to Old San Juan

Property was convenient location to public transportation, although in a sketchy neighborhood. We felt safe and the apartment was secure. The terrace was delightful, but getting up four flights of stairs was daunting. Beds were comfortable, couch was not. Host Rosemarie was very helpful and attentive.

Hi Teri! Puerta de Tierra is a neighborhood in transition, as explained in our site. Never have we had an issue with the residents. Same goes as to the description of our 65 flights of stairs with landings on each floor. This is stated in our site also. The couch is going to be replaced. I am aware it is not a plush sofa but I am still looking for some furniture that will withstand the many guests that vIsit the apt and are not too careful with things. It has to be sturdy, practical and easily cleaned. I hope to find one soon. Nonetheless, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay!

A Little Gem

Our host made our stay very easy and enjoyable. The property had everything we needed for a day at the beach or a barbecue on the roof top patio. The beach was just short walk away and scooters were nearby to ride into Old San Juan. Overall, the property was comfortable and had nice touches for a pleasant stay. Our host was available and responded quickly to questions. She even let us stay later when our flight was delayed which was greatly appreciated.

Girls trip

Everything about our stay was perfect. We just werent prepared for how tight the street was but we just closed the mirrors in and everything was fine. There are a lot of stairs up to the 3th floor apartment but I liked the extra security with the locks, etc. Just be careful if you are tall so you dont knock your head. The roof top view is amazing and she has such a cute set up with the decor, etc. People in the neighborhood are friendly also. Id definetly stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image

My husband and I enjoy travelling and understand the importance of service and staying at a place that caters your needs. We enjoy meeting new people and showing them all of what our beautiful island has to offer- from scenic mountains to gastronomic experiences. Come and visit Puerto Rico!

Why they chose this property

When we first saw this property, we fell in love with the rooftop. This private, unique space above all helps you get away from it all while still being in the city! The views and wind are magnificent and the sunsets are spectacular!

What makes this property unique

The private access and use of the whole building's rooftop for those staying at the PH are a treat. Relax in the hammocks while watching the stars at night… Bask in the sun while reading a book sitting on the lounge chairs... Splash water from the water hose if you feel like... Make a BBQ dinner while enjoying a sunset... the choice is yours... you have all the rooftop for yourselves!
