Very poor VRBO. Thehad one set of keys so if you misplace or lock them in the apartment (which l did. Completely my fault. ) the owner is in Chile so there's no caretaker or anything tolet you ini was locked out from 930am till 10pm.not a good day. The owner was very slow to responding. There was a TV but was not connected to cable or streaming service. There was no hot water in any of the sinks. The bathrooms where very small and hard to move in and only had hot water in the shower. Which at the end of the week we didn't even have hot water there, so ended up getting a hotel. It gets one star because you can't do 0.
Apartment was perfect for us. Walking distance to a 24 hour grocery and anything else you may need. Quick walk to the beach. No car rental was needed since everything was within proximity of the apartment so thats a plus for sure. Host was helpful if we needed them and always quick to respond. I would stay here again
There was a misunderstanding as to how to enter property. The keys were not available. Someone was supposed to greet us but she was inside of apartment and we couldn't communicate we were waiting outside. To avoid all this the keys should have been left as first stated in lockbox. One a/c not properly cooling. Could not find extra toiletries. The area was a good area as there were many things nearby.
We arrived late on the evening and the property owner reached out to find out if we were okay. Upon arrival it was easy to access the apartment. The size and accommodations was everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. There are shops and restaurants a short walking distance. I would stay at the same location again.
One of the surprises that we found was that the majority of the windows open up to a cinderblock wall that allows little to no light to pass through. The window in the kitchen looks out to a patio area that is nice to hang out on. The place is a bit dingy and could have been cleaned and wiped down a bit better. There was a mildew smell the entire time we were there and there were some sightings of mold on the walls. There was no hot water the entirety of our trip, and one of the handles in the bathroom shower didn't work to control the water. A repair person came to fix the handle the 2nd day. We were a group of 4 adults and a baby. We informed the host about this in our request to book. There were only 2 towels on our arrival at 9pm. We received more towels and body wash the next day at around 12n.
Property was clean with adequate supplies. Two blocks from the beach. Street parking was available. Shower water pressure was weak. Very dark condo with only one operable window in the kitchen. Nice little courtyard. Power outage one day. Host communicated well.
Casa Mirsonia is a wonderful place to stay. Great location, steps from the beach, 24 hours supermarket, Starbucks, restaurants, etc. The apartment is beautiful and has everything.
The lockbox was difficult to get open. Everything is nearby, the neighbor above told us that waves were rough in front on the park with an undertow. The ocean is much calmer about 400 yards to the right. No water pressure for showers was the only issue we had. Would rent again.
There were multiple issues with this property. The worst was the host which failed to respond to emails, text messages, and phone calls. Not even the Expedia agent could get a response from them. Next, the property is a complete mess. The washing machine doesn't work, the kitchen faucet has low water flow, the TV doesn't turn on, the hair dryer sucks instead of blows, and the bathrooms are incredibly small. This property is not suitable to be rented and we regret staying here.
In general, our stay was very pleasant. Place was quiet, and had good AC. Location was very convenient. We did not need to rent a car. Check-in was easy. We appreciated the bunk beds in the second room, good closet spaces as well.
This place had a lot to like and few things to dislike.
Likes : proximity to beach, grocery stores, old San Juan, restaurants
Air conditioning was good
Laundry on site
Bedding and towels were new/great condition
Beach towels, chairs, cooler provided
Kitchen was usable and had most utensils/pans
Dislikes: no on-site parking
Low water pressure
Neighborhood seemed a little sketchy, but we did not have any problems so it could just be our take on it.
Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed our time at this property. The things we disliked did not detract from our stay. We loved the beach nearby. We were always able to find street parking, but sometimes we had to walk a block or so, but it wasnât a big issue. During the day it was harder to find parking than at night due to people going to the beach nearby. The property was cleaned satisfactory and the host was kind.
