Casa of Essence

Very clean. During this trip, I stayed in four places in Old San Juan.  My room here was the cleanest of the four.

Don’t be fooled this property called Casa Of Essence has several rooms that seem to be all different. We got the Crystal Room in the 3rd floor and it was roach infested. Also swarmed by termites on the last night. Crystal property contact sent someone up to spray the room with raid all over the air of the room. We had to lock ourselves in the room and cover floor bc termites were everywhere. The bathroom space is small, not warm water and mildew all over shower curtain. Roaches all over utensils in kitchen. This place was not habitable for any mid level family. The 9 starts seems to be from friends and family of the property managers or there must be different clean more updates rooms we were not offered after we complained 1st and last night. This place is disgustingly and strong smell of mold in the entire property. Be very careful with the elevator that step stays under floor level. For every bad review these guys seem to give a 5 star to compensate for the real and honest reviews. Please be kind to other humans and fumigate this place.

No staff on site but the owner is extremely responsive and provides all info needed for you stay. Door, gate, and room codes are sent out about the day before your arrival. Rooms are clean and have everything you need. Location cannot be beat. All of old San Juan is at your door step

Great place for those whose location is priority Amazing, bustling location. Steps away from all of Puerto Rico's history. Apartment didn't feel incredibly clean. Older building charm though. Kitchen had dishes but no sponge. Would probably make more sense to have two full size beds in bedroom ( instead of twins) than have futon in middle of living room to make space for 6. Owner was responsive when had needs!

Very well located in the heart of Old San Juan. Very clean and well maintained. The only downside is the absence of reception or local staff to give assistence.
