🕯️ Please Note (Important for Historic Buildings)

This property is located in one of Old San Juan’s original colonial structures, built over 200 years ago. When you walk in, you might notice the aged textures of the walls, historic details, and even some rust or weathering — all part of the building’s authentic charm.

Old San Juan itself is a 300-year-old city, and nearly every building here is centuries old. It’s a living museum — colorful, historic, and full of soul. Because the area is surrounded by the ocean, you may occasionally see small mosquitoes or harmless island insects. This is completely normal for coastal homes in the tropics, especially within the historic core.

We want you to know that everything here is authentic, full of love, and preserved with care. You’re not just staying in a home — you’re staying in a piece of Puerto Rican history.

Casa Imperial isn’t just a place to stay — it’s an experience. You’ll wake up surrounded by 200 years of history, step outside to cobblestone streets, and within minutes, find yourself in the middle of cafés, art galleries, bars, and landmarks. Everything in Old San Juan is walkable, and no car is needed to explore the magic of this city.

The whole appartment

As with many homes in Old San Juan, certain features such as doors, windows, and walls reflect the building’s original 200-year-old construction. This is not a defect — it’s part of the authentic colonial character that makes Old San Juan one of the most unique and historic cities in the world. The textures, details, and imperfections are intentionally preserved to honor the building’s heritage within this UNESCO-recognized neighborhood. If you appreciate history, charm, and culture, you’ll love every corner of this home.

    Absolutely flawless stay! From start to finish, this was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. The space was sparkling clean, beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. The host has clearly thought of everything the bed was incredibly comfortable, the WiFi was fast, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials. The location was perfect quiet enough for a great night's sleep but close enough to walk to local shops and cafes. [Gloryvee] was also a fantastic communicator, providing clear check-in instructions and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting. I’ll definitely be looking to stay here again on my next trip!

    A group of 6 adults and space was not an issue! The location is excellent as it is walkable to everything in Old San Juan! Being on the street we worried about noise, but after 10pm it is generally quiet. The walk up the stairs with overpacked suitcases was challenging, but that is our issue! Stairs were lit well, wide, and safe to get up! The unit had plenty of supplies and was clean! We did experience losing power for about 6 hours which is part of life here. We just walked around town and enjoyed the darkness and slowness of the day without electricity! We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

    Stayed here for my bachelors trip. We all had a great time. Super flexible and friendly when it came to check in and check out. The spot was in the middle of Old San Juan, all bars, restaurants, and historical sites were in walking range. Very spacious, very comfortable, very clean rooms. A lot of stairs to walk up to but still was worth it. The view from the balcony was a 10/10, especially during the night time. Only negative is finding parking. There are many parking lots you can pay for but the fee per day keeps accumulating. There is free parking on the streets but finding parking was a hassle. Still a 10/10 experience, perfect for group trips.

    Great place to stay in Old San Juan. House has a ton of historic character. There are plenty of nearby restaurants/bars. You can walk to the cruise terminals or the forts. The balcony is a huge plus as well. Would definitely stay here again!

    Great location with many things to do within steps of walking out the door. Right next to a parking garage as well. Very unique space.

    Gloryvee was an awesome host who was very responsive to any and all questions! As for the place, the pictures definitely make it look “brighter” than it is. Space is as described and there were a few things not in the best working order (shower temperature, sink faucet, doors sticking). Neighbors did not respect quiet hours and parking was a bit of a hassle/walk each day. Issues were brought to hosts attention and responded to as appropriate with time remaining in stay. Location in Old San Juan is great, but you will hear nightlife/morning business if you are in loft room/living room. Overall, it was a good stay. I feel the pictures definitely spruced up the actual look of the place but it was livable.

Old San Juan

Old San Juan is the walled colonial quarter founded in 1521, one of the oldest European-founded cities anywhere in the Americas; its forts and La Fortaleza are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Its streets are paved with adoquines, the blue-grey cobblestones cast from furnace slag and laid down centuries ago, and they run between pastel townhouses with wrought-iron balconies and interior courtyards. Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo San Cristóbal anchor either end of the district, both part of the San Juan National Historic Site.

  • Castillo San Felipe del Morro
  • Castillo San Cristóbal
  • Paseo de la Princesa
  • Calle Fortaleza
  • Plaza de Armas
  • La Perla
  • Catedral de San Juan Bautista

Not sure where this is?

Puerto Rico is smaller than it looks on a map. Every home we host sits within about 45 minutes' drive of Old San Juan, so the area you pick decides what is outside your door in the morning — not what you can reach in a day.
