David T.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Spacious but dirty and humid
The apartment is huge- wonderful for a larger family. Most of the bedrooms were great with AC keeping us cool at night. Negatives: the center of the apartment is all outdoors - the hall, foyer, kitchen, living room, and all bedrooms are open-air. Must close doors to living room and bedrooms to make them "indoors." This made it swelteringly hot and humid in the whole apartment. There were a few mosquitoes. We kept bedroom doors closed as much as we could to the bedrooms. The master bedroom has no windows and closing the doors made it like a cave. It was dank and the sheets were musty smelling. The floors were dirty and turned our feet black each time we walked barefoot in the apartment. But apart from a little dirt and a lot of humidity in the apartment, it was a spacious and wonderful place with an excellent location to walk around Old San Juan.
