About this property

Old San Juan Pent House with ocean view private terrace

As you reach the third floor Pent House of Sol 13, you are welcomed by a bright, spacious loft space with wooden floors. Relax in the living room with two fold out futons and stocked wall unit bookshelf. Enjoy your meals in the large dining room table (sits up to 12) or use it as the most comfortable station for creative work. But the best part of this pent house is the breathtaking terrace. Sit in the exterior sectional sofa and comfortably admire the amazing Old San Juan bay. You can watch the sunrise and the sunset from this privileged spot as well as the cruise ships as they come into port. Dine under the stars on the outside dining table (sits 6). If you like to cook, you will enjoy the fully equipped, modern kitchen. When you come home, tired after a day of exploring the exciting neighborhood of old San Juan, the air-conditioned master bedroom with wooden closets and king sized bed will be the perfect space for restful sleep. Come for the vacation of your dreams or stay for a while and experience the Old San Juan lifestyle. Sol 13 is walking distance from shops, restaurants and in the neighborhood you will find the most trendy bars, a super market, an organic market on Saturday mornings... even a Ben And Jerry's on the corner. It is a 5 minute walk away from historical sites Like ‘El Morro’ Fort, The Casa Blanca Gardens and the Cathedral.

Great spot in Old San Juan

We had an amazing time at the penthouse. The location was ideal for what we were looking for - walkable to essentially all of Old San Juan. The terrace was a great spot to hang out, overlooking the city.

Wonderful!

Paloma was a gem, great communicator! What a beautiful penthouse in a great location in Viejo San Juan. A mesmerizing view from the terrace, that comes with a four legged friend who lounges for fun and gives great company. Highly recommend a stay here, just be prepared to climb some steps, but completely worth it. Looking forward to a future visit again!

Perfecto!

This apartment is beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable, with a gorgeous rooftop terrace in an absolutely perfect location. It is walkable to all of the amazing sites and shops and restaurants in Old San Juan, and also a fairly short walk to beautiful El Escambron beach. The beds are very comfortable (just the right amount of firm) and the shower/bathroom space and kitchen space are all great, with everything you will need! The owner is wonderful and very responsive. Overall, this was absolutely perfect for my two teenage daughters and me and I would most definitely stay here again!

Ready to Come Back!

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying here last week, and it was a perfect experience. The unit was unique, open, and airy, and had all of the amenities (and more) that we could have asked for. You are a 5-to-10 minute walk from anything you need in Old San Juan, from groceries to restaurants to shopping. As mentioned in other reviews, the terrace was amazing. We were able to sit and enjoy a drink while watching cruise ships and freighters go to and from the port. The views were wonderful, and you are just far enough away from the noise of Old San Juan that it is very quiet and peaceful. The bed and couches were very comfortable, and the shower had plenty of hot water. All of the toiletries and linens needed were available. We brought our Firestick and linked up with the in-unit wifi, having no problem watching our favorite movies and shows (because of this we can't speak to what is/isn't available in terms of cable, etc.) We did notice that the TV is a Smart TV, so safe to assume you can sign in directly to any of your on-demand services without issue. Paloma was a dream host. Her responses were quick, and her recommendations for things to see and do were fantastic! Needless to say, we will be back. Thank you, Paloma!

Loved this place!

My husband and I absolutely loved Paloma's apartment! We stayed a week and will definitely be going back again soon. It's in a great location ... not too busy or noisy, and only a couple of minutes' walk to reach the centre where all the hustle and bustle of Old San Juan happens. The apartment is spotless, spacious and safe as it's on the 3rd floor. The private terrace is large and great for sundowners or tanning. Paloma was really helpful and responsive too. My husband worked a bit while we were there and the space and wifi speed was good.

Lovely apartment in Old San Juan

Lovely, bright and airy apartment. We came to Old San Juan for a family wedding and enjoyed having other family members come over for coffee and visiting. AC worked well in 100+ degree temperatures. Enjoyed the terrace with views of the bay. Comfy bed, nice bathroom with plenty of hot water for shower. Kitchen well equipped. Host responded right away to our questions. Quiet, yet close to everything you might need or want. We were able to walk to the church, restaurants, gelato store, grocery and pharmacy easily. Uber was quick if you wanted to go farther. Guests should be aware of the 48 stairsteps to reach the apartment and that there are multiple levels and steps within the flat. This was not a problem for us, but might be for others. There are some minor cosmetic issues with wear and tear in the kitchen(cupboard doors) but would still give it a 5 star rating. A little gem in Old San Juan.

Lovely top floor place with great terrace and views

We really enjoyed staying at Paloma’s place. It’s in one of the best parts of Old San Juan. The terrace and views across OSJ and the bay are unparalleled. It was lovely to spend evenings on the terrace. It is also fairly quiet for OSJ, above the fray of the city. Bedroom was comfortable and quiet. Kitchen is well equipped, we actually cooked quite a few meals there. Highly recommend this place, if everyone in your party has good mobility. The stairs can be challenging, as the condo is on the third floor, and when inside, there are steps between the rooms.

Charming apartment with artistic vibe

We had a fabulous stay in Old San Juan. The position of the apartment could not be better, & we loved sauntering through the old cobbled streets. The last flight of stairs up to the apartment are a challenge, particularly with bags. We had no problem but can imagine that peeps with young children or with mobility issues may struggle. Check in was a breeze & any questions were answered quickly. We loved hanging on the terrace & watching the cruise ships sail by, particularly at night. The apartment has an artistic vibe & an interesting layout. It’s full of character & a little quirky, in a good way! We loved it & plan to return next year.

Five weeks in OSJ

My wife and I just finished a five week stay at Palomo’s OSJ apartment. The GOOD: 1. Very responsive host who timely addressed our questions. 2. Reliable internet as I was ‘working remotely’. 3. Spacious patio with great views. 4. Tons of space throughout the apartment for storage and comfort. 5. Located on a quiet street just two minute walk from the action. The NOT SO GOOD: 1. False advertising with the patio and next door Catedral pictures. The patio pics are at least seven years old and the Catedral pic is also probably pre-Maria. The patio bricks are not at all glossy and new looking as in the pics…they are worn, dark and deteriorated. The patio walls are not freshly painted clean white, but rather worn, dirty, flaky and in desperate need for a re-painting. The teal and red Catedral top next door is heavily faded with damages and vegetation growing…definitely does not look like the pics. The gorgeous patio pics were a huge selling point for me so I was very disappointed that they are old, misleading and not at all an accurate representation of reality. 2. No cable TV, local TV reception or smart TV. These items were not advertised, but we were surprised that a rental unit didn’t have them. The TV can simply be used for watching DVDs. 3. 48 stairs that are somewhat steep and tight to reach the unit on the top floor. They don’t have elevators, so you need to climb to reach the apartment and your view. Someone with extra pounds, bad joints or who just doesn’t want the challenge to climb up and down 48 stairs w luggage, groceries or to go for a walk might think twice about this rental. We are in our early 50s and in decent physical shape. We overall enjoyed our stay and appreciated the host Palomo. Just wanted to provide full disclosure on our review as we appreciate reading them in our searches as well.

A lot of steps but worth the climb

Paloma was very good to communicate with. The house was very large and the terrace did not disappoint. It is on a quiet street but only 1 block or so to restaurants and bars. We are both in our 50s and could use being in better shape, so the stairs were a little rough on us.

Loved our stay!

Loved our stay! Couldn’t have picked a better location! A few things I may have missed when booking!! There are A LOT of stairs to climb to get to the unit! Worth the climb but if you have any sort of issues with climbing stairs/carrying possibly heavy luggage up 3 very HIGH stories of stairs I wouldn’t stay here. It’s beautiful and we loved it but gosh it was a lot of stairs to climb!! Also air conditioning can’t be left on when you’re not in unit so it can be very warm upon entering until until is cooled off. Again you figure it out and it’s worth it but these are two things I may have just read over prior to booking!! But would 100% stay in this unit again!!

Perfect place for visiting Old San Juan

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary. The location for the apt was perfect. It is an easy walk to get food or see any of the historical sites around Old San Juan. We loved being able to explore and easily walk back to the apt whenever needed. The apt was very clean and had everything we needed. The view from the private balcony was gorgeous, hard to do it justice with pictures. There was plenty of space in the apt and the kitchen was nice. Something I usually miss when we travel is my bed at home, but the bed here was very comfortable. I'd highly recommend staying here.
