Very nice apartment unit on the 3rd floor. We stayed at the Crystal Apartment. Because it is Old San Juan we could hear the people downstairs as there is a bar adjacent to this building, till the early hours of the morning but we knew that would be a possibility because of its location. The bedrooms, living area, kitchen/dining and bathroom were all really nicely decorated. Only thing was that I would suggest better Cleaning Staff, when we got in there was chewed gum placed on the wall behind the sofa and used dirty napkins inside one of the decorative pillows on the same. Aside from that it was a great place and also cute building for picture session inside and out.

The host was excellent , very responsive, and provided helpful recommendations for places to eat and visit. We appreciated how easy the check-in process was, and the communication was seamless throughout our stay. Our stay at Cada of Essence was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect – close to everything we wanted to explore . The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home.

We stayed in the Bambu room. It was a room. Nothing more. Could only open one suitcase at a time. That being said, nothing wrong with it. Although I didn't see any staff while I was there (more of an AirBnB space), they did allow me a late checkout with an extra charge, which was nice.

The property is located in a perfect area for partying. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby and it’s a walkable area. Also the room was nice and clean. I had a little hiccup when I tried to check-in however, I can’t blame the host for various reasons. I highly recommend the property and would definitely stay here again.

We booked this property line looking good review but it is overrated and many comments can be fake. In fact, room is way too small and only one bed and another couch even though they charged us for premium two queen beds for 4 of us. Escalator is too old and scary. Room was smelling bad. There are far more better hotels nearby. Definitely not recommended.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was very comfortable. I stayed at 2 different units, The Tropical Apartment and it was gorgeous and very spacious. Full equipped kitchen, but AC at room only. But the weather was nice and no issues w/ that. I also stayed at The Patio Room, it was much smaller, but AC throughout. But, not having a kitchen was not ideal. But, overall comfortable, but not as nice and cute as The Tropical Apartment. I highly recommend the Tropical Apartment, for a bit more you get much more space and kitchen. It’s close to everything in old San Juan (San Sebastian area). Bars, restaurants and a lot to do walking distance. I loved it! There is parking near by if you rent a car. (Highly recommended to explore the island). I would definitely stay here again.
