Awesome Stay in Old San Juan
We stayed a full week at Calle de la Cruz No. 56 and used it as our home base to tour the entire island. The location was perfect to explore Old San Juan and stroll down cobblestone streets and exquisite architecture. Our hosts were super friendly and attentive to all of our questions. We highly recommend this property for your friends or family.

Center of Old San Juan
If you want to experience Old San Juan, this is the perfect "home" base. Shopping, dining, historical sites, beach within 20 to 25 minute walk. I found that staying in historic San Juan afforded a more culturally immersive experience. Walking the cobblestone streets, appreciating the unique colors and aromas are unforgettable. The property offers all the essentials. There is a laundry facility in the same block. The one drawback was a very unreliable internet connection. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Ralph Escribano

Host profile image
After many years in other businesses,retirement dictated to dedicate our efforts to promoting our Island. Our beautiful Puerto Rico.
We had acquired the property for our home but destiny had other plans. So I decided to do what I liked best. Public relations.
Thus ,what better way but to short term rentals and meeting many people from different parts of the world.

Why they chose this property

History fscinates me and this property certainly fits the bill.
It was built in 1804 for a Spanish Army Officer( 18 in the family)
Also it is a very peaceful place.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to just about anywhere in this old city. Amiable residents. Plenty of culture. and activities. Restaurants,Luxury Hotels nearby. The Waterfront Fantastic sunsets seen fro the fort nearby. You name it. Away from it all. Who needs anything else?
