I had an issue with some items going missing and the host stopped responding when I asked about it. He said he was checking the cameras and then never responded again. Otherwise very clean and nice area.

Everything was very smooth and easy going the housekeeping amazing as well. The only inconvenience i saw on the room i stayed they don’t have a mini bar… is my biggest recommendation for fiture guests. Keep the drinks fresh while walking around in the hit!! Other than that i definitely will search to stay there in future trips to PR!!

Was not aware of the area around when i booked and I wish I was. The place was a cheap place to crash for the night and uber eats was handy so I didn't have to get out into the traffic. Neighborhood had a little sketchy felling but this is coming from a family that lives out in the middle of nowhere and are not around a lot of people

The best thing about this property is the location! You are a short 3-5 minute walk from Condado Beach and there are tons of restaurants, bars, and lounges in walking distance. Felt very safe. When we arrived, we could not find our room, a map of the room names would be nice for future guests. The parking area is vague as there are 2 spots and the third one looks like a drive-way. I ended up parking there, but didn't know or was never informed on where it was allowed to park. One of the nights I had to park on the street and one of the main reasons I booked this place was because it included parking so that needs a bit of work. When we walked in it was pretty clean, but there were trash bags someone from before left on the small patio. The bathroom window was open so it was extmely hot and humid to get ready in there, we ended up closing it and wedging the door open to make it cool enough to put on make-up and get ready (the door won't stay open). A full-length mirror somewhere would be nice. The shared kitchen was nice because people leave left over sunblock, aloe vera, umbrellas, etc and it is useful but it would be nice if it stayed open later. Overall OK, and it served its purpose as a central location to sleep yet be close enough to everything.

Having stayed here multiple times in different rooms, I would opt for a different room over Topaz. Other than that, the stay was as expected.
