Enjoy Santurce like a local! This vibrant & artsy neighborhood is what any traveler looking for an authentic experience needs 🎨💃🏻🍹

You will be staying just a 12 minute walk from Condado Beach in an area known as the Arts District of San Juan, and often compared to a mix of Wynwood, Williamsburg & Bushwick ✨💃🏻

As a Puerto Rican owned, multi-family home you can bet hosting is our top priority and we are always available for our guests needs - 24/7 since 2016 🌴🌺🍍

The space
🌹 La Rosa 18 is a multi-family home that is family owned and family run with 4 fully remodeled apartments and two shops on site (one is a tea room/apothecary and the other a soon to come ice cream shop!) 🌿

🇵🇷 Enjoy this laid back studio apartment featuring a serene, tropical vibe and enjoy your stay while being part of a vibrant, eclectic and electric neighborhood. 🤹🏻

🏡 Our Cuarzo Apt is a single level apartment located on the second floor of the back patio of the house overlooking our green and leafy patio. With a large spacious bedroom it is perfect for the young solo traveler or couple. ☘️

🛋️ The apt has high ceilings, a fully equipped kitchen, Fiber Optic WIFI (150mbps download speed & 80mbps upload speed), Roku TV with Netflix, Hulu, Disney and more. 📺

🧭 Our location is ideal for exploring Santurce's vibrant arts district scene with many restaurant and local coffee shops just a short distance away by foot. Condado Beach is just a 10 minute walk and you will feel centric and authentic without being surrounded by the cookie cutter boxed in touristic hotels. We are also just across the street from Walmart and Walgreens and only 12 minutes away from the airport. ✈️

🥐 Foodies will love that Anthony Bourdain featured Santurce’s iconic Esquina Watusi, just a few blocks away, on Parts Unknown Puerto Rico. 🍽️

🚿 Common areas include sitting areas to enjoy the patio. 🍃

Guest access

Other things to note

⚡ Electricity & Water... Puerto Rico occasionally experiences power or water interruptions due to local utilities. This is rare in San Juan, but if an outage happens we provide flashlights and battery powered fans. In case of water outages we do have water tanks. 💦

🏝️ As Beach Essentials we only provide Beach Towels 🧖🏻‍♀️

🧂 As Kitchen Essentials we do not provide condiments. 🍴

🏙️ The apt is centrally located so it does feel like a city apartment with some street noise. 🚘

🏨 Here you won’t find cookie-cutter resorts or polished high-rises—Santurce offers the real Puerto Rico. Like any city, it has its bustle, but staying around active areas makes it easy to feel comfortable. Safety tips: trust your instincts, use street smarts, and rely on Uber for door-to-door rides if needed. For peace of mind, this building has security cameras at entrances and patio, plus a 24hr Walmart & Walgreens just across the street. ✅

Where you’ll be

San Juan, Puerto Rico

With Walmart and Walgreens just across the street as well as some well known places such as Puttanesca Pizzeria, Tostado Coffee Shop, Johnny & June Vintage Shop and the Museum of Contemporary Art just one block away, you will be staying in a very centric area known to everyone in San Juan as La Parada 18 in Santurce. Just a few blocks away you have the highly sought after arts street of Calle Cera with many urban street art and chic dining restaurants. You are also an easy 10-15min walk to Condado Beach and the more upscale touristic area of Condado as well as an 8-10min walk to Miramar, another nice neighborhoody area in San Juan with more coffee shops and restaurants to visit. The neighborhood itself can be perceived by some as a bit rough so I always compare it to a Bushwick type neighborhood reckoning its roots as long-time residents and new residents cultivate a culture that’s unique to the revitalized neighborhood. With an influx of young residents who are drawn to Santurce lower cost of living, there’s been a shift toward a more art-focused culture.
