We enjoyed our stay! The security of the entrance gate was nice. Linen and towels were clean and comfortable. Bunk bed is metal so all movements audible. No linens for living room couch. Bathroom was very clean and the shower was spacious enough for 2. The Fortresses are breathtaking. $10 entry 2 day pass to both fortresses. Currently the tunnels are closed due to Covid.
Suggestions:
As described, you will have street walkers and night life (all night). I recommend this villa for those looking to participate in the night-time culture. Note, there is another villa directly attached to same level. Walls are very thin and if they have the 1st level patio door open - you essentially are sharing a space to your 2nd bedroom. Unfortunately, it was our shared neighbors that keep us up every night (all night) and did not follow the rental quiet-time policy. My husband had to help them twice because they kept locking themselves inside (that's right - inside) their own villa (once was at 3am) and they pounded on our shared window. I believe it's overseen by the same property management company, although not certain, so perhaps this can be improved on.
Would suggest changing to an automatic gate lock vs key for ease.
Kitchen was fairly equipped but you'll want to take advantage of eating out at the many restaurants. Tiny 2 cup coffee cup maker. Grocery and pharmacy stores are on the same block around the corner.
If only staying a few days in Old San Juan hold-off on a car rental. It ranges from $27-34 per day.
Heavy police presence for tourism safety and everyone is very Covid cautious.
Amenities: No beach towels as described but there was a few umbrellas, coolers, and camping chairs.
