There is a private washer and dryer inside the unit, located in the bathroom area, making long stays simple and convenient.

Fast WiFi and a dedicated workspace give you everything you need for remote work or studying.

The bathroom has a modern shower, good water pressure, and clean finishes.

The apartment stays cool with air conditioning and is set up for both short stays and extended visits.

The location is exceptional. You are within walking distance to Playa Puerta de Tierra, the coastal walkway, the waterfront lookout points, cafés, restaurants, and well known neighborhood spots.

This part of Old San Juan offers a quiet residential feel while still being close to the energy of the historic district.

Free street parking is available, but guests must follow city parking rules, posted signs, and enforcement since parking is controlled by the municipality, not this building.

Guests have full and exclusive access to the entire apartment.

This includes the bedroom, living room, full kitchen, bathroom, washer dryer, workspace, and private balcony.

No shared indoor areas.

Entry is through a secure building entrance with a simple check-in process.

Check-in is self-guided and easy to follow, and you’ll receive all details before arrival.

Located in the heart of Old San Juan (Viejo San Juan), this historic district is rich in 500 + years of Spanish colonial architecture, cobblestone streets and colorful facades.  You’ll find open plazas, pastel buildings, iron-balcony details and a local feel even while being in a tourist-friendly zone.  The area combines residential calm with cafés, galleries, restaurants and walking paths near the waterfront.  Because of the age and style of the neighborhood, expect some historic quirks: narrow lanes, uneven surfaces, occasional street sounds, and buildings with character that modern structures don’t replicate.

Walking is one of the best ways to experience Old San Juan. The area is compact and highly walkable, especially if you’re staying in or near the central core.  Taxi, rideshare (Uber/Lyft) and local bike rentals are convenient for trips beyond the immediate area.  Public bus service is available (AMA) and offers low-cost routes into and around San Juan, but the stops and schedules may not be as direct or frequent as in more urban destinations.  Driving and parking can be challenging: narrow historic streets, limited free parking, and city regulations you must follow. Street parking is available but guests should read posted signs and expect city enforcement.

Parking is free on the street, but availability and rules depend on city regulations, not the host.

The location puts you close to Playa Puerta de Tierra, waterfront lookouts, local food spots, surf areas, and the scenic walkway along the northern coastline.

This home is located in a historic district of Old San Juan.

The area is very safe and residential, with locals, families, and long term neighbors.

The unit is private, clean, quiet, and ideal for guests who want both modern comfort and the authentic warmth of Old San Juan’s historic architecture.

The space is maintained to a high standard, but because the neighborhood is centuries old, occasional variations in street activity or building layout are normal for the area.

    My daughter & I loved our stay here! A quiet, safe feeling neighborhood only a short Uber ride everywhere we wanted to go! to restaurants & sites of Old San Juan, close to Escambron beach, where we snorkeled & swam. It’s clean, good bed (I’m picky about beds), futon, nice art on the walls. We enjoyed breakfast on the private patio. We were able to do a small load of laundry & that helped tremendously as we came with only small backpacks. The only downside was there was no hot water during our 3 night stay, cold showers. Nonetheless, we’d stay here again & recommend it.

    My friends and I had a lovely stay here! We were given beach and shower towels and all the needed kitchen equipment. The place is a perfect location right by the beach and just a walk away from Old San Juan town. Would definitely stay here again!

    Great location in relation to beaches, Old San Juan, bus route and airport. Great value, clean, beautiful floor tiles and granite kitchen counter tops. We couldn't have chosen a better place.

  • Laura Alcorta

    This Airbnb is perfect for a young couple. I had four friends with me so it was a tight squeeze. We made it work. We had such a great time. You can walk to the beach and old San Juan. We never needed to rent a car. If we did it would’ve been hard to deal with parking. The neighbors were lovely. Perfect first time experience. If you visit el yunque please be careful of the bugs. I wasn’t comfortable cooking so buy plenty of snacks and visit the awesome restaurants around. We left behind snorkeling equipment so now there are two pairs of fins and flippers. Escambron was my favorite beach.

    Very clean. Kitchen was well stocked and beds comfortable . Apt had small enclosed patio perfect for morning coffee.

    I highly recommend this gem. It is nearby so many walkable places, the beach(es) and so much more. All of our uber trips were no more than 10 minutes, some even 5-7 mins. We walked to a local coffee shop, the turtle beach down the street, and to Pilates. It is located in a very safe area. The only thing I need to point out is that the water is colder than usual especially if you are used to really hot water, since the building is 300 years old. Honestly, not a crazy thing considering all the amazing things this place offers, AND the affordable price considering other airbnbs. If you are looking to walk to places and be at mins by car away from many places, this is your spot. We enjoyed our stay.

San Juan

San Juan is the capital and the island’s centre of gravity — the old walled city, the beaches and the restaurant districts all sit inside it.

Founded in 1521, it spreads from the colonial quarter east along the coast through Condado, Ocean Park and Isla Verde, with Santurce and Miramar inland. Most visitors never need to leave it.

Located in the heart of Old San Juan (Viejo San Juan), this historic district is rich in 500 + years of Spanish colonial architecture, cobblestone streets and colorful facades.  You’ll find open plazas, pastel buildings, iron-balcony details and a local feel even while being in a tourist-friendly zone.  The area combines residential calm with cafés, galleries, restaurants and walking paths near the waterfront.  Because of the age and style of the neighborhood, expect some historic quirks: narrow lanes, uneven surfaces, occasional street sounds, and buildings with character that modern structures don’t replicate.

  • Castillo San Felipe del Morro
  • Condado Beach
  • La Placita de Santurce
  • Paseo de la Princesa

Getting around

Walking is one of the best ways to experience Old San Juan. The area is compact and highly walkable, especially if you’re staying in or near the central core.  Taxi, rideshare (Uber/Lyft) and local bike rentals are convenient for trips beyond the immediate area.  Public bus service is available (AMA) and offers low-cost routes into and around San Juan, but the stops and schedules may not be as direct or frequent as in more urban destinations.

Not sure where this is?

San Juan is 9 minutes' drive from Old San Juan and 13 from the airport. Puerto Rico is small: every home we host sits within about 45 minutes of the old city, so you can stay in one part of the island and spend the day in another.
