Explore the iconic Calle San Sebastian nightlife. There is a large assortment of bars on this strip which is a favorite among locals on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Breakfast at “La Bombonera”. This is a Puerto Rican landmark well known for its locally inspired breakfast and pastries.

Summary: Thanks for a great stay!
Barbara B. Dec 11, 2024 01:09:52 AM
Summary: Two cozy nights in our favorite part of old San Juan. Walk anywhere!
Seth N. Aug 23, 2024 12:14:20 AM
Summary: The location was great and the unit was comfortable with all of the necessities. My only complaint would be that the place had an overwhelming stale/moldy smell, likely because the A/C is turned off when people aren't there and there is no fan or window open to get air circulation.
Gary G. Feb 23, 2024 03:02:12 AM
Summary: Close to Plaza de Armas, El Morro, further from the cruise ship piers. Fine, stylish unit on a somewhat less populated street.
Vincent S. May 22, 2023 09:48:10 PM
Summary: we enjoyed out stay. clean and near all the action.
Jay V. Mar 5, 2023 01:00:25 PM
Summary: This place is great as a home base for exploring San Juan and PR.
Mary Margaret O. Feb 27, 2022 04:24:00 AM
Summary: Lovely property - two nicely-sized bedrooms, small living area and kitchen. Nicely appointed and superb location in Old San Juan. Close proximity to shops, restaurants, attractions, grocery, markets and more. The thing that makes it amazing -- location -- also means the streets are filled with revelers, so expect some city hubbub and party noise even late at night. AC, Wifi, all working although electricity cut out city-wide for an hour on one of the days. Attentive managers.

Summary: We really enjoyed Villa Laurel . If you are looking for a place central to the night life of Old San Juan this is a great spot. A two minute walk to a fantastic spot on the square for Cafe Con Leche , pastries and mallorca. We loved the condo and it met our needs. Nice bathroom, two nice sized bedrooms and a small kitchen area great for breakfast but easily could cook dinner there. Two observations that you should know. There is NO view at all and there is NO living area. There is a sofa against the wall but it still is like you are in the kitchen. If you spend your time exploring and going out this is a great location. If you like to hang out at your condo when you are on vacation, this may not be ideal for that. To wrap up we totally enjoyed our stay and interactions with West Indies. Great folks to deal with!
Brett K. Dec 5, 2021 05:21:10 AM
Summary: This location was perfect for the price and Old San Juan. Very clean. Great location. Very comfortable! Would highly recommend staying here!
Brooke Nov 13, 2021 07:53:47 PM
Summary: Sadly we were unable to stay at this location due to a plumbing issue prior to our scheduled stay. However communication on the part of th propery management was 5 stars!
