Reviews of 2 bedroom apartment in lush garden, 3 blocks from beach and center of San Juan

This is a really great property with a beautiful garden. It is very great value for money. The owners are lovely. Thank you for having us!

It definitely could be a bit cleaner overall, I think a deep clean may be in order, but it was a fantastic place to stay and we would definitely go back! No one’s fault but be aware of the ants with food also

Lush tropical like gardens in a great location away from center but 10 minute walk into town. Large living space with a nice balcony to sit out on . Full kitchen with large fridge, oven etc. Nice breezes come into place even though no a/c it's quite comfortable with fans. Great wifi.I really liked the place and will stay again.

With only one housekeeper who works very hard in all of the suite turnovers, she has no time for " deep cleaning". I stayed in 2 sep. Suites and in both I had to clean off cobwebs and dust from furniture/ pictures. I had to wash all the windows to see through the grime. The pillows and bed pad are stained and need a wash. I picked up a bag of garbage from the gardens because i couldnt stand seeing plastic bottles etc. In a beautiful garden. So, I know it's not a 5* place, but really, these are basic cleaning things that she probably doesn't have time for.But, if you are willing to overlook these and need a cheap cool place , this is for you.I stayed in Amistad1 and 2.

The keys were in the door on arrival. We received a very detailed information message from the owner which was very helpful. The caretaker was friendly and responsive.

Not a criticism, but an observation....my wife has some mobility issues and there are quite a few uneven stairs on the way up to the building. Well lit at night, but with hot weather and no AC, it was a struggle for my wife.

The place was amazing and beautiful. It is located in a great area surrounded by the locals. I've enjoyed the fact that the beach and the city are a few steps away, but yet the place felt secluded. The staff is humble and respectful. The place is safe. If you like to cook, there's a fresh fish store close to the place. Several little mom and pop stores are nearby. The owner, Jan-Luc, promptly responded to my text and also referred me to a safe/reliable driver to take us to San Juan from Managua. The birds and the well keeep garden, just lovely.

The couch in the living room. The couch is grossly dirty and needs to be replaced.

Good location, close to the beach and town centre whilst being in a quieter area. The apartment was lovely, with a nice private terrace and good facilities for cooking. The owner Jan-Luc was very helpful during our stay and was on hand to answer any questions we had.

There were quite a few of ants inside the apartment

A very nice apartment with a beautiful and big veranda! The general garden was exremly beautiful and green, had a nice vibe :)

The apartment was kind of hot (but there are fans)

The apartment was great! It’s a 2 bedroom downstairs in a house with a big porch. The full kitchen & bath both have hot water! There are about 8 houses on the property which is in an ideal location. Because I was a solo traveler Jan-Luc had it priced for use of only one of the bedrooms which was perfect for me. The property is surrounded by local residents which I like. There was no noise from SJDS just sounds of the surrounding neighborhood - kids playing, dogs barking, roosters & birds crowing. I actually extended my stay for almost 2 weeks. After the first week the sheets & towels were changed and the apartment was totally cleaned. Everyone was very friendly - the gardeners, the cleaning lady, the night security guard, other guests & of course, Jan-Luc. Since he lives on the property, he is very available. When I told him I had a 9 am flight out of Managua, he arranged for a taxi to pick me up at 4:30 am for a good price. The nighttime cuidador helped me meet the taxi at the front gate & the taxi driver was punctual & a safe driver.

The only negative might be barking dogs during the night - but that’s pretty much everywhere in Nicaragua. After the first couple nights I slept through the night & actually came to really enjoy the sounds of life surrounding me.

location. secure. spacious.
