Great location in Old San Juan
Great apartment in the heart of Old San Juan. Our flat faced the street which is great during the day but is noisy at night so bring some ear plugs for sleeping.

Great location
Great location in Old San Juan. No outside noise as per other reviews so not sure ifb they were referring to a different apartment. We stayed in The Vintage Apartment and the only noise came from disrespectful people staying next-door, coming in late from partying until 3am. Other than that it was perfect. Perfect for walking and sightseeing in Old Town. Parking would have been difficult so we used Uber from the airport and back to pick up a rent car for the rest of the trip.

8/10 Very good

The location of Casa de Essence can’t be beat. Right by the entrance to Old Dan Juan, everything is within walking distance including both forts, shopping and lots of dining options. The trade off is the noise. Noise from the street at all hours of the night was the only downside. The space was smaller than it appears in the photos but clean and comfortable. Having codes to enter through the gates felt very secure and it was great not having to keep track of a key!

Great location, clean and nice room. Definitely recommend!
Verified Expedia guest review

8/10 Very good

We loved this apartment. It was a unique place to stay. Very clean, we loved the balconies to watch the people out and about, the responses from the hosts were immediate, AC was efficient. One thing to keep in mind is that Old San Juan is a lively area. It is loud until well after 2am and this apartment is right on top of that action. If you are a light sleeper this may not be right for you. I actually enjoyed the sounds of the city (and fireworks one evening) and my husband was able to sleep with noise canceling headphones, but it is worth noting.
