The house was as advertised as far as the amount of rooms. One of the rooms A/C did not work at all the other rooms A/C leaked water Allan’s totally soaked the below it. It rained so the entire back yard flooded and did not drain once the rain stopped ( the drainage issues needs addressing, front door does not lock. There are padlocks on the bars creating a death trap if there is a fire or other emergency. Outside property wasn’t cleaned up of debris ( leaves &twigs)

I stayed with 13 friends and for the price that was paid the stay was disappointing. Overall the house needs some work which is not apparent in the pictures, add to this issues with water pressure and no hot water and it doesn't make for the best stay.
The Good: The location is great and the house is big enough to comfortably host 13-15 people.
The bad: The house needs some work, things like lamps and door handles are worn down or do not work. Some bathrooms only had 1 working lightbulb. Not a huge deal but for the price you pay, more is expected. Closets could use a cleaning too.
However, the main issue was the water pressure. The water worked fine for the 1st day of a 5-day stay. After this, we had issues with water pressure so low you couldn't take a shower. We also lost water for a few hours.
The owner did send out people to fix it but the issues persisted throughout the stay.
Aside from this, one of the bathrooms never had hot water throughout the stay.
The house could be great if upkeep was better and water issues were resolved.
I would not stay there again.

This house was beautifully located in city San Juan, within walking to restaurants, beaches, and stores. In addition, the house itself was amazing! The most comfortable beds I have ever seen in a rental home, and the kitchen seemed newly redone! Everyone vied for the shower with a rain forest spigot, and we had several dinners in the outside patio (with a huge table!).
Security was important to the owners, and we made certain to lock the gates whenever we left (and secure the padlocks).
The house easily accommodated our family of 11, and the amenities were just as advertised. Linens/towels were plentiful, and with 5 bathrooms there was never waiting!
Pablo was always available, and prompt with answers to questions. A beautiful house, and a tremendous vacation!! Many thanks.

My family of 11 stayed at this house over Thanksgiving, and couldn't have been more pleased. The house itself was beautiful, with the most comfortable beds I've encountered. The kitchen seemed newly redone; the furniture in the house was very classy and in keeping with the atmosphere of the house.
We made use of the pool and the hot tub, and found that having a covered porch allowed us to enjoy the warmth during rainy evenings. We also used the huge table out by the hot tub for our evening meals together (Thanksgiving included), while other meals were spread out around other seating areas.
The bedrooms were exceptional, with more queen beds than you normally see. Amenities were as described, with special appreciation of the high quality of washer and dryer. In general, you feel as if you've found a lovely Spanish villa tucked away on a side street in San Juan!!
Many thanks for a wonderful vacation. Everyone raved about their stay!
Our stay was fantastic. The house accommodated all of our needs. The location was great and a reasonable close walk to the beach, with plenty of food options along the way. The hosts were very responsive. I highly recommend.
