Historic 3BR + Private Terrace · Ocean Park · Steps to Beach & Loíza St

Welcome to La Chiocciola Apt 3 — a stunning 3-bedroom apartment in a beautifully preserved 1940s colonial building in the heart of Ocean Park, one of San Juan's most sought-after addresses.
The original 1940s colonial tiles set the tone the moment you walk in — a nod to San Juan's rich architectural heritage. The fully refreshed kitchen and brand-new bathrooms ensure every modern comfort is at your fingertips. Each bedroom features a queen bed and air conditioning, and the living room includes a flat-screen TV and a queen sofa bed — comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests.
Step outside onto your private terrace and fire up the BBQ — the perfect setting for an evening under the Puerto Rican sky, with the warm breeze and the sound of the city all around you. One parking spot is available on-site (shared, first-come basis).
Location could not be better. Steps from the beach, walking distance to restaurants, supermarkets, and boutique shops, and just around the corner from the vibrant and colorful Loíza Street — one of San Juan's most beloved neighborhoods. A 24/7 supermarket is just 5 minutes away, a famous local breakfast spot is right around the corner, and La Placita de Santurce is only 5–7 minutes away — the heart of San Juan's nightlife and food scene. Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is only 7 minutes away, making your arrival and departure completely stress-free.
This is not just a place to stay — it is a place to live San Juan like a local.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Calle Loiza. You'll find features like laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the vacation home.

Great restaurants close by, Bebos cafe , Panuchos was really good , close to the Grocery store where we also purchased liquor for our stay! Cristian was a great host , and we would stay here again!

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
Our host communicated well as issues arose. Upon arrival we were a bit taken back by how the neighborhood in general looked, and some aspects of the apartment were not as well appointed as the VRBO pictures, (which seems to be a common problem with VRBO's these days). The apartment did work well for our jaunts into Old San Juan via Uber, and to the rain forest with a rental car from Target rental which was only a couple blocks away and recommended by our host. We never felt unsafe. although one night about 2 am the police were on the patio shining lights around evidently looking for someone. The AC in the unit worked great, and the 3 bedrooms with 2 baths was perfect for our group. Water pressure was an issue one night. the infrastructure in the neighborhood is strained. So. this place served it's purpose for us, but next time i would probably spend more and stay closer to the ports or Old San Juan.
