San Juan Condo on the beach

Good: comfortable bed, air conditioner and location. Bad: convoluted check in procedure, only 1 entry key, no on site parking although listing states there’s on site parking, no pool as it was under repair yet not reflected in the listing, non functional microwave (as previous guest noted) until I pressed to get a new microwave which I picked up from a local store, no proper kitchen knife to prep food, fridge/freezer had frost build up inside, no live cable TV or phone as advertised. Ugly: inconsistent & occasionally no response from owner re our concerns, paint peeling on kitchen cupboards, pooling water on balcony, flooding in bedroom (reported by past renters in May/23) after rainstorm, owner instructions to not flush toilet paper?! Synopsis: know that what you are renting is not as fully advertised. Friends were renting in the same building yet their unit was fully renovated & cost less than what we paid.

The place was clean,

The owner was incredibly sweet and responsive, helped with minor hiccups and gave good suggestions. The apartment is ideally located, wonderful neighborhood and a block from the beach! Highly recommend!

When we arrived, the condo was nice but smaller then we thought. The only tv is in the living room and the remotes didn't work. I contacted the host but didn't get any help. So we had to buy batteries with our own money. We realized there was only 3 towels and no face cloths and the host said they dont provide face cloths. It wasn't listed in the post. We had to buy our own. The refrigerator is small (shorter than 5ft and very small freezer with frost taken most of the space) and the microwave broke and was never repaired. At this point, the host wasn't replying anymore. There was no oven so we had to reheat our food the best we could on the stove top. We spent some days in the condo with ac on and the balcony flooded from the ac unit. There was sand on the sofa and in the bed when we arrived. Which meant the place was not clean properly. There was no hot tub and the pool was filthy during our entire trip. The host offered to send us to another pool close to the end of our trip but we were over it by then. The good thing about the condo is it is in a good location but noisy due to construction and the street life. There are plenty of restaurants near by and the beach was really close. We didn't rent a car so we used uber. The rides were $4 to $7 dollars each. Way cheaper than renting a car. I would book again but bring my own lining, and be prepared to mop the flooded .porch everyday (2x a day). I have pictures
