The property itself is in a great location. the neighborhood seemed nice close to plenty of restaurants, bars, clubs, and other amenities.

The staff were excellent and very responsive to any questions we had. Throughout our stay, all communication was handled promptly through text and email.

Unfortunately, the room itself (the MUSA Suite) fell well short of expectations. Perhaps because we booked at the last minute, we were given one of the less desirable rooms on the property.

Some of the issues we encountered included:

* There was a large stain on the mattress we slept on. We didn’t discover it until the following morning after the bedding had shifted during the night. That alone was enough for us to check out a day early because we weren’t comfortable sleeping on the mattress for another night.

* The bathroom was outdated, with only a single sink, mold on the ceiling, and a showerhead that looked like it hadn’t been replaced in years.

* The ironing board had what appeared to be blood stains on the cover, which was very concerning.

* The listing advertised a “partial ocean view,” but there was no view of the ocean whatsoever. While this wasn’t a major issue for us, the description should accurately reflect what guests can expect.

The outdoor deck was easily the highlight of the property. It was beautiful and well maintained. If the owners updated the MUSA Suite to match the quality and presentation of the outdoor space, this would 5 star property.

everything about this place was exceptional. Pictures do not make this location justice. The suite was larger than pictures. Cleanliness was impeccable and your own private garden was more than what we could have ever asked for they provided sunscreen, beach towels, everything that you need for that walk to the beach if I ever go back to Puerto Rico. This is where I would love to stay again.

This place was amazing! Super cute! The bed was so comfortable. They provided even beach towels which I did use. The location was great. The beach was only 2 blocks away. A huge park with a running track was across the street that the local neighborhood utilized which was nice to see. There was food, restaurants, grocery store, clothes store, even alcohol with 5-10 minute walking distance. There was a map in the room that showed places within the area to go to if you wanted. I am coming back in a few months and I’m definitely booking here again. PR owes me nothing!!

The location is great — situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood, and the guest house itself is very secure, so I felt completely at ease. It’s within walking distance to the beach and many restaurants, and not far from popular areas and bars, making it a great spot for exploring and relaxing.

The host provided thoughtful amenities like tanning oils, beach towels, and dishes, which made my stay even more convenient. There was a small issue with the AC stopping working, but it was resolved quickly—within 45 minutes—and I was moved to a new unit where the AC worked perfectly. The communication from the host was excellent, and the contactless check-in process was super easy, making everything smooth and hassle-free. Overall, a wonderful stay!

This hotel was very accommodating and perfect for this trip. The neighborhood is in a good spot by a school and a police station which helped ensured our safety during our stay. The hotel was clean and gave no issue. I would say some of the lights did lose power but it wasn’t that much of an issue.

I had an incredible week staying at this lovely accommodation, went I highly recommend it. The accommodation is big, spacious, with all the amenities neede from a cooking plate, pots and pans, piping hot water and cold Ac, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dish, soap, and sponge, coffee machine… What more can a traveller ask? I am very particular about cleanliness and accommodation was impeccably. The location was terrific. 2 min walk from Ocean park beach, two major grocery stores at walking distance,off Loiza street, and iconic Street in San Juan that is full of cafés, local and fast food. That seems great has a fast that can take you around town, including old sand and the best part, it is free. The bus number five and the bus number 53 take me directly to the accommodation in less than 25 minutes . During the time I was there it was quiet, and I had no issues sleeping well at night. On Friday and Saturday nights the local park across the street advance between six and eight so there was loud music, but it didn’t bother me at all as the events were done by 8 PM. I had issues with the door locked, not working and they came the next day and fixed it. I’m really happy with this accommodation and for the price I paid I think it’s an absolute steel! One thing for sure, I will definitely be back.

If I were to describe Puerto Rico in general with one word, it would be \"clean.\" There is almost no litter on the street, and certainly very little on any of the beaches we visited. La Esmeralda PR is no exception. Our suite was spotless. I would caution visitors that the building's promotional photos are old. Our unit had a lot of wear and tear, from a broken chair leg to a cabinet door that wouldn't close to chipped floor tiles. Rusted metal outside, which I think is unavoidable in that climate. We rented their beach chairs and umbrellas and one umbrella was broken and the beach chairs were old. Turns out beach chairs and umbrellas are not the done thing on the local beach. I had to ask for sheets for the single bed three times. We couldn't unlock the gate to park our car and wound up with a $50 parking ticket after being told we could park outside of the gate. The owners claim they unlocked it for us but that was not our experience.

The morning we're getting ready for the airport, the water stopped while I was in the shower. I tried to call the number provided when checked in because this place doesn't have a front desk and no answers.

We ended up going to the airport without showers/ no teeth being brushed, it was horrible.

My advice is to get a room with a front desk, with $250/night you can get a much better place.

the rooms were good, but the remotes for the tv and the air conditioners did not work well and there were not enough towels in the bathrooms.

Our family of 4 had an amazing visit! The apartment was clean and spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The location was marvelous and close to stores and restaurants. The kitchen also had 2 burners, so I was able to cook home meals. The air conditioning was freezing, which was a plus for me! There’s also a beautiful park right across the street that is well lit that has different activities. The security police are always patrolling in their vehicles. Very safe with 2 gates and our front door. Definitely would recommend.

Also we had 50 or so case bug cocoons all over especail in the door jambs and corners of the walls. Kitchen items were old and cheap. Bedroom light is old, crusty and didn't work. Bathroom mirror needs to be replaced. Wouldn't take much to make this place much more comfortable and protect your valuable investment!

I loved the room and the location and had a great sleep. The room was large and nicely appointed. The space felt very secure, my room was large and had a fantastic patio and cool decor.

My only feedback is about entering the property. I had difficulty with the gate and was instructed to look for angel statues to find the key but the statues were covered with bags of laundry so it took a while.

It was still a 5 star experience and I will be back.

The directions were concise and easy to follow. The room is clean and well stocked with what you would normally find in a small rental with kitchenette. We just had an overnight stay so did not experience any extra amenities offered or interactions with the host.

The place was clean y ready with anything you might need.The area is super relax and very centric.Having parking onsite is a mega plus. The administration was available at anytime and fast to answer any question. There was a moisty smell when I openned the door, but for the rest it was great.

Our stay at La Esmeralda was absolutely wonderful. We spent 2 nights here and I loved the location to the airport and Old San Juan. It’s close to everything! The room was well kept with AC on when we arrived. Check in and Check out process was so efficient and easy. Even provided free secure private parking. There was a dog next door that barked at night. But he barks when needed as a guard dog should. (Extra peace of mind) nothing I would complain about. The property it’s super cute that even includes beach towels and coolers if you would like to keep drinks cold while you enjoy PR. We felt safe here and will definitely be coming back to check out the other rooms available. Thanks a bunch!!!

I liked the place but the room needs an upgrade the mattress you can feel the springs under, the TV is very small compared to the big wall. The staff is very friendly and professional. There’s a coffee maker but no coffee available only instant coffee. No sugar only few sugar free.

Plenty of space for my trip and even included a gated-off parking area for me! Fairly close to the populated city area, but not close enough to walk there. Decent restaurants in the area. While not the most luxurious, the shower has hot water, the AC unit keeps the room cool, and my room had 4 levels of security: three gates and a deadbolt. Definitely recommend!

La Esmeralda was fantastic for the price! My only gripes were the WiFi was kind of mid and the bathroom was a little dirty. The area around it had a ton of restaurants, we were able to try a new restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner every day and still feel like we didn’t try everything. The AC works which was something I was worried would not be true when we got there. Bed was clean, towels and sunscreen provided so we didn’t have to buy them. Overall great experience and the staff was very responsive.

Stayed in the two bedroom apartment and everything was nice. Love that it is a couple blocks to the beach. It’s also walking distance to some restaurants and bars. Also, communication with owners was great; they answered all my questions in a timely manner. Parking space is directly underneath and gated for security. Overall very pleased with our stay.

The apartment is super close to the beach and the property is very nice and clean, however unfortunately there is no screen door which makes it impossible to leave the door open at night and the deck itself has no sun roof so using it during the day is kinda out of the question. Other than this the stay was very enjoyable and we would come back again

We loved our 6 day stay. The property was quiet and very secure. Check in instructions were very easy to follow. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment and it had everything we needed (stove, dishes, refrigerator, two bathrooms, dining area). There was a dedicated parking spot for just $5 per day and there was also plenty of street parking. The beach was about 2 blocks away and was a small quiet beach. There were shops, restaurants, and markets within a few blocks. The host was very responsive when we had questions. Definitely would stay again and would recommend to others.

Great location. Walking distance from the beach, which was very clean, and so very nice. Very clean apartment, very attentive staff. Checked in on our stay to make sure we didnt need anything for the remainder of our stay. The best thing for me, was it was walking distance from my favorite breakfast/coffee shop in Puerto Rico (the coffeeteria)!!!!!! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for helping make our vacation amazing!!!

My biggest two issues were that the ice section of the refrig was solid ice and the ice tray frozen in. I had to defrost and clean up and even despite that it was noisy so just shut if off. The other was that the lights on the outside of the building were so bright the shades were useless. I didn't need lights on to walk around inside in the dark and made it harder to sleep. Not really happy but I'm guessing this is common in that area.

While the customer service was excellent and the bedroom was clean and organized, the location of the bedroom was not good. Also, there were tree branches causing issue by denying easy access to the bedroom.
In addition, there was a lot of noise going on the premises of the hotel and the surroundings.

This property is like a fortress once inside but not really a tourist area and you are very close to some undesirable areas, saying that,, we had no issues. Also there water was barely warm, which we didn't need until the morning of departure and no time to complain.
