Casa of Essence is ideally located in the Old San Juan. You can walk to many of the famous attractions around old town. Easy access from cruise terminal and to San Juan international airport. Convenience store just beside the building and SuperMax market is within walking distance in old town. It was a great stay. Will return if we visit Puerto Rico again.
