Way better than expected

Staying here was a highlight of our trip. The location was insanely good, and the building feels palatial with gorgeous high ceilings and well decorated and furnished rooms. Everyone loved it and we would absolutely come again. Bear in mind that it is a genuine historic building so there are only two bathrooms and it’s hard to run multiple faucets / showers at once. That wasn’t a problem for us, and we had a great time. Jon was a super communicative and great host.

Coolest Place I Have Ever Stayed

From the photos I know I was going to like this place. My parents love historical buildings so I decided to rent this as a surprise for the last few days of our large family vacation. We were all stunned at how amazing this place was! To experience the history of this amazing town all while having spectacular accommodations, was truly a treat me and my family will never forget. I would 1000% stay here again if I visit old town San Juan again! Don't miss your chance, you won't regret it.
