Second Time: Consistently Excellent

We first stayed here in 2022 and were very happy with the apartment and the neighborhood. Three years later we returned and once again were super impressed with the cleanliness and noticed the host had even made some upgrades. We love the neighborhood because it’s close to everything but is not flooded with tourists. Rosemarie goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and is responsive.

Girls trip

Everything about our stay was perfect. We just werent prepared for how tight the street was but we just closed the mirrors in and everything was fine. There are a lot of stairs up to the 3th floor apartment but I liked the extra security with the locks, etc. Just be careful if you are tall so you dont knock your head. The roof top view is amazing and she has such a cute set up with the decor, etc. People in the neighborhood are friendly also. Id definetly stay here again.

A quick trip to Old San Juan

Property was convenient location to public transportation, although in a sketchy neighborhood. We felt safe and the apartment was secure. The terrace was delightful, but getting up four flights of stairs was daunting. Beds were comfortable, couch was not. Host Rosemarie was very helpful and attentive.

It's a TRUE Penthouse!

A real apartment where you are the only one that has control of the whole roof at the building. Extremely spacious area. The BBQ is a plus amenity with a small grocery store across the street.

Little Gem in PR!

This was in a great location that didn’t have a touristy feel. It is just a few blocks to the Atlantic Ocean and access to the boardwalk/promenade into Old Town. The grocery store around the corner was handy. El Charro, a block or 2 down the street was a good spot for margaritas and dinner. Uber from Old Town was easy and about $7. Apartment was adequately appointed. WiFi was a little slow. Rooftop terrace was amazing! We enjoyed coffee and sunrise out there every morning. Rosemarie was very responsive when we reached out for information.

Cute place

The appearance of the apartment was very quaint. The patio was roomy and decorated very comfy. There was no air conditioning in the entire apartment, only in the bedrooms, which was not stated in the description. I shortened my stay because of it but the host was very accommodating and understanding.

Amazing Terrace!

We had so much fun here! Spent most of our time on the terrace, which is spacious and just beautiful. But when it rained we were nice and cozy inside as well. Rosemarie is so gracious and helpful, and very responsive. Many walkable eateries are nearby, we Ubered everywhere else. This is a fantastic landing spot in a convenient location. Will stay here again for sure!

We loved this property, and especially our host!

The space is amazing. Can’t say enough about the rooftop patio. There were a lot of beautiful touches inside as well. Super comfortable beds and pillows. Loved the bathroom towels haha. Kitchen was well stocked and the living space was comfortable. If you’ve never been to old San Juan, this is not in the touristic cute downtown area. This is in the “up and coming” neighborhood of Puerta de Tierra. That said, we actually loved the restaurants down the street and being close to the beach more than we would have liked being in the tourist area. We will definitely stay here again.

Short stay near San Juan

We stayed in mid September and I didn’t realize the property didn’t have an elevator. So I really got my exercise walking up floor flights of stairs. My bad, I didn’t read the details properly. The property is located in a neighborhood that is undergoing a gentrification. For the purpose of being close to old San Juan and San Juan nightlife this made sense. Thanks for the hospitality!

Private Roof top

I came to PR for my birthday. Rosemarie the owner of the apartment was amazing from start to finish. She was so kind to have gifted me a bottle of champagne and cookies for my birthday. The apartment was clean and had many useful items for example bug spray, beach towels, lotion and more. We enjoyed the private roof top. There was plenty of seating. I had an issue opening the lock box. She immediately sent help. She answered right away when and if I had a question. Suggested establishments to eat at. She also suggested using Uber to get around. The prices were very reasonable. I would stay here again and suggest to others.

Wow!

The owner is extremely nice and helpful with recommendations. The property is perfectly located where all of old San Juan is a short walk away. There is a bar nearby but if you have earplugs its ok and its only loud on Friday and Saturday. Loved my stay here, definitely will be staying here when I visit next!

The VERY BEST Vrbo stay we've ever experienced!

If every Vrbo host were like Rosemarie, there would be no more traditional hotels anywhere. From communication, to cleanliness, to attending to all of the big and little touches, to anticipating every guest need and desire, to creating a truly unique rooftop getaway a short walk from Old San Juan and a wonderful beach, this is the very best experience we've ever had with Vrbo (or Vrbo's competitor)!

About the host

Hosted by Rosemarie Braegger Semanaz

My husband and I enjoy travelling and understand the importance of service and staying at a place that caters your needs. We enjoy meeting new people and showing them all of what our beautiful island has to offer- from scenic mountains to gastronomic experiences. Come and visit Puerto Rico!

Why they chose this property

When we first saw this property, we fell in love with the rooftop. This private, unique space above all helps you get away from it all while still being in the city! The views and wind are magnificent and the sunsets are spectacular!

What makes this property unique

The private access and use of the whole building's rooftop for those staying at the PH are a treat. Relax in the hammocks while watching the stars at night… Bask in the sun while reading a book sitting on the lounge chairs... Splash water from the water hose if you feel like... Make a BBQ dinner while enjoying a sunset... the choice is yours... you have all the rooftop for yourselves!
