“Beautiful Home, Beautiful owners. Would stay again in a heart b” Myself, my husband and another couple stayed in this home for 3 days. We were pleasantly surprised that the home looked as beautiful as the pictures we were shown. The home comfortably fit two couples. Each couple had their own bedroom with an air conditioner. The owners do a wonderful job of keeping the home in perfect order and ready for visitors. The owners are so nice and accommodating. They made us feel at home, showed us where to go. They even had a book printed out showing attractions with pamphlets of services and points of interest. I could not have ask for a better home to stay in. If you want to get away from the usual hotel/motel. I highly recommend renting this home. It was walking distance from the beach and lots of food choices. It is a short cab ride or bus ride from Old San Juan, the airport and the cruise ship terminal. The only thing I would change was the beds. They were a bit uncomfortable but we still got a good night's sleep.

“good experience” We (a family of 4) stayed in the apartment in Jan 2014 for a week. It's safe and clean. The owner is very nice and responsive.

“Vacationer” My stay at this location was 5 stars! Our plane arrived early and Mr. Gomez let us at the condo and allowed us to check in earlier than schedules. Everything was amazing. The location was safe, very clean, spacious and the neighbors were very friendly and helpful. All of the rooms had nice closet space and very comfy beds. We had zero issues with our stay. All appliances worked and we were provided with plenty of beach and bath towels. We actually had more than enough for our stay. Everything that's in the description is completely 100 percent true and we were so grateful to have found this hidden gem for our action stay. Lastly, the wifi was extremely fast and the televisions had every channel possible to man. Lol thank you so kindly for allowing us to stay in your vacation rental. We will definitely be back soon!

“Great location, great hosts!” Gianluca greeted us in the rain, late at night and showed us around the apartment. Him and Solmari were both very friendly and their kids and dog are all very friendly as well. We had no problems at all with our stay, the place is perfect for what we were looking for. The yard is great to hang out in and read or chat, the plants and trees alone can occupy quite a bit of time just to observe if you like that sort of thing. It's a really great place to sit back and relax. Our apartment was fantastic, everything you need to cook meals was there. Our bed was comfy and there was lots of storage for all of our stuff as we were staying for two weeks. Everything was clean and we got fresh linens every week. There wasn't a full sized couch, just a chair that's shown in the picture but we weren't planning on spending too much time at home anyways. The guest book and suggestion booklet were great for recommendations. The location was amazing. There's a supermarket around the corner, the beach is a couple blocks walk, and you have a choice of a few bus routes as well. When we wanted to go to Condado or Old San Juan we hopped on T5,53 ($0.75) or the random free green bus. You might have to wait for a while but bussing is cheap! Quite a few great places for eats. Acapulco was amazing, the best tacos we've ever had. Kasalta was good for breakfast or cheap lunch, lots of pastries. Inca Chicken is a great deal for dinner. La B de Burro is also a good option for lunch or dinner. Many great places and all within a 15 minute walk. I can't really think of anything that we didn't like. There was some loud music pumping at night from a ways away but it always calmed down before 11. We were always super tired so it didn't really bother us anyways. All in all, it was a great stay. The location, hosts and apartments can't be beat. Thanks so much to Solmari and Gianluca for sharing their home with us!

“Studio a stones throw from San Juan” To all that care to find a budget friendly, clean, safe, and conveniently located head quarters for an excellent vacation; look no further than ani's place. The beach is an incredibly short walk away and there are plenty of places to eat, drink, and be merry near by. It's a 15 minute bus ride to old San Juan which we found to be cheap and quite convenient. The tourism area of Condado is an leisurely stroll down the beach as well.

“Life Saver” Let me start of by saying ana is amazing! She let's us know the best places to eat, the best places to go, and the best way to get around. We wouldn't have had half as much fun without her. The reddish unit is very private, clean, and safe. The area is full of locals and tourist. Mclearly street is full of nice restaurants and a gateway to the beach. Customer service is great, the sheets were clean, the bathroom was clean, and the air conditioning works perfectly. The bed was comfortable and the patio is nice to eat out on at breakfast time. Ana is so hospitable, don't waste your money on a hotel, get the real experience of Puerto rico and stay at The Reddish Unit, you'll be glad you did.

“AWESOME EXPERIENCE” My wife and I were looking for the perfect getaway in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We contacted the owner of Apt. 5A Stella Maris Condominium. We were impressed with the ease of booking, the prompt reply from the owner and receiving the keys for entry so quickly after we had finalized the reservation. The condo was as described in the contract, even better. The condo had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen and dining area cabinets were well stocked with dishes, plates, glassware, kitchen utensils, pots and pans, microwave, blender, toaster coffee machine, etc. We had plenty of sheets and towels. We noticed that there was a baby crib, dining chair, playpen and baby stroller in storage. There was a second TV in the bedroom along with WI-FI. The condo is well-maintained with adequate furnishings and decorated with very nice paintings on the walls. The place was neat and clean when we first arrived but the floor got pretty dirty during the course of our stay because we kept the sliding glass windows open for cross-ventilation. The closet is well stocked with mop, broom, wet and dry vacs. We put these items to good use. The twin beds can easily be converted into a king bed. There are two futons in the living room with mattresses in storage behind the wall unit. We found an inflatable bed in one of the large drawers. We did not need the extra sleeping accommodations for this trip but know that we can come back with our two friends on our next trip. We contacted the owner, Paulet, only one time because we noticed a puddle of water on the floor near the refrigerator. She responded immediately by sending a cleaning lady to check out the situation. The lady told us that the refrigerator door was not closed tightly which was the cause of the problem. Paulet offered to reimburse us for tipping this nice lady. The staff and other residents in this building were very friendly and helpful The building janitor helped us with our luggage and offered to take us to the 'Supermax' supermarket and nearby Walmart. We are seasoned travelers and are always concerned about the security in the place we are staying. There are security cameras both inside and outside this Condominium. Each floor is keyed for entry from the elevator and the stairway doors are individually keyed. The building and street is well lighted. The tourist police are visible on Ashford Ave. The municipal police patrol the beach all night long on a four-wheeled buggy. The new CVS on the corner of Ashford and Condado Ave. lights up that area. We always felt safe when we ventured out to dine at one of the restaurants along Ashford Ave. My wife liked the soup at the Fresh Mart (natural food & restaurant) across the street from the Marriott Hotel. Nightlife in the Condado Beach area means a quiet evening with a drink and dinner in one of the many sidewalk eateries and/or dancing to the music of a live band at the Marriott Hotel.There is a 24 hour casino in the Marriott Hotel. If you prefer disco music you will need to take a taxi to the Santurce area of San Juan. We liked to hang out at the beach in the morning and take the bus, at the stop in front of the Marriott Hotel, to Old San Juan in the mid-afternoon. We enjoyed the Forts (El Morro and San Cristobel), the cruise ship area and the Governor's Mansion. We also signed up for a day excursion at the Marriott Hotel to the Rain Forest (El Junque) . On the last two days of our stay we rented a car at Charlie Car Rental to travel to Dorado and Ponce. We were fortunate that this condo has a parking space because it is difficult to find on street parking. We hated to leave after the week was over. There is so much to see and do on this island. We asked the owner if it was possible to check out later because our flight was at 2:00 P.M. She said it was okay because nobody was checking in until the next day. My wife and I travel to France for nine weeks every year to do bicycle touring in the countryside. We plan our own biking excursions and book condos, rooms, and houses along the route. We have had some very good experiences and some very bad experiences booking and dealing with property owners on these trips. This property and property owner rank way up on the top of our list. The location, amenities, proximity to the beach, view, ambiance, restaurants and affordability are incredible. Needless to say we had a wonderful stay in this location of San Juan. We highly recommend this property to other travelers. Kudos to the owner of this vacation retreat. Robert
