The owner was great at communicating and provided some local reviews. The house is decorated beautifully and fits the vibe of historic San Juan. City is walkable and there's lots of restaurants/shops in the area. My review of Chocobar is don't go. It's an overhyped place. I took off 1 star because we were asked to remove linens, take out trash and load dishwasher upon exit, which I think for the price she can have the housekeeping do. ##### Lindsey Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### George C.

Host Rosa was an amazing communicator and set us up with a tour guide and good dinner recs, tho I have to say we had amazing food everywhere in the city, including at “Carli’s” and “La Madre”. Home is lovely and beautifully appointed. The only challenge for us was sleeping in the warmer temps on the second floor the one night the ocean breezes didn’t move any air. This place is truly the best of everything and we highly recommend!. ##### Michelle M. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evelyn B.

The view from the rooftop deck is incredible, great for enjoying drinks and listening to the waves. Restaurants and bars are all within walking distance from the property. The house itself is maintained in a style reminiscent of its history.The parking situation worked fine for us, however those with mobility issues may find the walk from the lot a couple blocks away to be challenging. The street itself is narrow and parking is quite limited so it is necessary to unload one's bags quickly and move the car. We hope to visit Old San Juan again and would definitely stay at Casa Lila. ##### sean t. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin F.

This time I chose to spend my entire week in Old San Juan at Rosa’s home. It was a great experience, to spend the days exploring the back streets and little gems downtown. Ample places to relax and dine out each evening, ending the night on the roof deck by the ocean. There were two of us at Casa Lila, so it was nice to have a private bath connected to each bedroom. It was a pleasant and relaxing week in Old San Juan. Thank you Rosa for your hospitality. ##### Kevin F. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vikki M.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was flawless. The location couldn’t be better—situated within walking distance to all the major landmarks, charming streets, and vibrant local restaurants. Exploring the city was effortless with everything so close by. The home itself is a stunning piece of history, well preserved but includes all the amenities you could need. The blend of old-world charm and contemporary comfort made our stay feel unique and memorable. The hospitality was top-notch. The hosts were warm and attentive. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, providing excellent communication. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and would highly recommend this historic home to anyone looking for an authentic Old San Juan experience. It was an unforgettable vacation, and we can't wait to return! ##### Vikki M. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie B.

We chose this property for its location and we were blown away by its historical charm and decor but with all the modern amenities you would want. The views are spectacular! Morning coffee in the courtyard was so tranquil and it set the mood for our day of exploring all this beautiful city has to offer. Our late afternoon drinks on the rooftop were a must before we headed out for dinner and experienced the nightlife of OSJ. To top it all off, Rosa is a dream host and responded within minutes of anything we needed which wasn’t much as she has truly thought of everything. We can’t wait to return in the future. ##### Melanie B. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda & Douglas B.

Rosa is a perfect host, easy to communicate with and quickly responsive when needed. Bedding and linens are all top quality and so comfortable! Old San Juan is a gem. But I didn’t expect this hypnotically beautiful, historic, artwork-filled house to gently entwine and bewitch me with such force that it would be so agonizing to leave. The house itself, along with its location, is idyllic perfection. The roof deck! The bedroom balcony! The hammocks! The pictures tell you what words cannot begin to do justice to. But the interior seaside courtyard!! She is now a cherished old friend that is part of my soul. Thank you Rosa, I will never forget my stay at Case Lila! ##### Linda & Douglas B.

I wanted an immersion experience for our yearly family get together. I can find nice boxy hotel rooms anywhere. Rosa’s villa delivered. The experience of living in a 500 year old house in Old San Juan looking out over the ocean was unforgettable. We spent most of our time in the indoor patio overlooking the sea and watching passing traffic, both foot and vehicle-very cool during the Iron Man competition. No roughing it in this historic villa. Any modern convenience desired is here. From gourmet kitchen to waterfall walk-in shower. I can’t say enough about our experience, just being walking distance to everything is so convenient. In addition Rosa is the best communicator I’ve ever dealt with regarding rentals- thank you, Rosa. ##### Josef U. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David L.

This 500-year-old home sits directly across from the Cristobal Fort and faces the ocean in historic Old Town. The location could not be any better...just minutes from the historic sights, restaurants and watering holes. Each of the rooms is beautifully decorated. The house also has a first-floor courtyard, second floor balcony and rooftop entertaining spot for morning coffees, sunbathing, and sunset cocktails. We mainly dined out but used the kitchen and dining room for breakfast and evening board/card games; the kitchen has everything you need to prepare full-on meals, if you wish. We took a car hire from the airport and used taxis/Uber to go to Santurce, Condado and nearby beaches. There are parking lots nearby for rental cars, but we were glad to avoid this as it really was not necessary to have a car. We booked about five months ago and found communicating with the owner to be a high-quality experience; she was so positive and answered our questions with quick, informative replies. We stayed here three nights before then traveling to the south side of El Yunque to stay in a villa house with a pool for the next five nights. Casa Lilla was the perfect way to kick-off our trip to Puerto Rico; the home is truly enchanting. ##### David L. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Connie M. Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Communication, location #### Great location We stayed for 5 nights, in town for a wedding. Pros:1) Gorgeous views, both the master bedroom patio and rooftop deck were amazing, stunning! It was one of the main reasons we chose this property.2) Location was fantastic, (another main reason) right next to the historic fort in Old San Juan, walking distance to everything. Family that either stayed or visited Old San Juan stopped by and just loved both the location and views. Great restaurants/cafes all within a 5 to 10 minute walk.3) Rosa was lovely, gave us great recommendations for dining.4) If you love antiques and art, this place was loaded with super cool things. Our daughter loved it!Cons:1) Spiral staircase was treacherous, 22 (or more!) steps. We’ve stayed in a rental home with a spiral staircase (so thought we’d be ok) but this one was much higher and rather unnerving :/2) Beds were not the most comfortable for us, on the hard side and bedding was not great. An upgrade in the mattresses and bedding would have gone far.3) Bathroom off the main bedroom was ok, vanity and mirror had seen better days, drawers falling out. Not a lot of options for storing your toiletries.Not cons but wanted to note: Step up and down from bathrooms and closets. We were ok, but could be concerning going to the bathroom late at night. Don’t think it was noted in the listing so wanted to mention. Also, I am very particular about cleaning, so wasn’t the cleanest for me, but for most I’m sure it would be fine. ##### Connie M.
