Joe's Studio

Uncomfortable atmosphere.

Holes in the wall at suspicious locations (above bed, under shower head and the two doors that were locked from the other side leading to what I assume is another house was unsettling.

It’s close to the airport and other places also.. if you want feel like a local this is the place a true PR home

Clean and peace

Location( it’s no beach close to the house)

El lugar muy tranquilo

La cama, debería ser un poco más grande

A very nice check-in with the owner. The apartment is very close to the airport. Great before leaving.

Nothing! There is nothing, just the microwave

Old bed, dirty apartment. It's good only for the night you arrive at the airport. Checkout too early at 9, but I asked (and he agreed) to go out at 10. No hot water.

Owner right there

For my short stay location was too urban

The apartment had a kitchen with small refrigerator and private bath The bedroom had a good TV Owner offered walking route ideas near apartment

Only the bedroom had an air conditioner, which was very loud. That made the ‘living room’ unliveable.. too hot and no TV there, so entire time in the apartment was in the bedroom. The lighting in the bedroom was a single bulb on the ceiling operated by a pull cord. Needs a lamp on end table for reading. Could use a small wastebasket in bedroom. Check out time was 9 am! Too early.

Great value for a quick nap before an early flight.

Bed was small and only had 2 pillows.

Rien

Vieille maison sombre et vétuste. Pleine de moustiques. Aucun Équipement ni de décoration. Heureusement que j’ai réservé qu’une seule nuit, car ce genre de logement pourrait vous gâcher vos vacances.

It was clean overall and was in a good location. The owner was nice.

The AC made noise and there was poop on the floor around the toilet and I stepped without noticing and before bed realized I had some on my shoe I went to the bathroom to clean it and seen where it came from and I tried to clean the floor where I found it and it was to much so we placed the bathroom rug over it.

Lo único bueno del alojamiento es su cercanía al aeropuerto

Estaba todo sucio, el aire acondicionado hace mucho ruido y te daba directamente en la cama, no se podía dormir sin él. Había muchos mosquitos. había arena dentro de la cama.

Posto tranquillo

Arredamento un po' spartano

The stay offered nothing positive. The communication was overwhelming to the point of harassment, completely inappropriate for a Booking accommodation, and being asked to pay through a channel outside Booking felt unsafe and untrustworthy from the very beginning. The kitchen was unusable due to its poor condition, and although the location could have been convenient, the dangerous and claustrophobic structure of the apartment made it impossible to feel safe at any moment. The apartment felt like a locked basement with bars and no safe escape route in case of emergency, creating a genuinely life‑threatening situation for anyone who values their safety. Burned electrical outlets, a non‑functional kitchen, and an overall environment of insecurity made the stay deeply unsettling. The pressure to pay in advance through a non‑Booking channel, combined with constant WhatsApp control, only added to the distress. Not reading all the reviews beforehand was a mistake, because anyone looking for a calm or safe stay would never choose a place like this. A property with these conditions should not be listed for rent at all, and certainly not at the price being charged. It is scandalous that a platform like Booking allows a place this unsafe to remain available to guests.

Communication from host

Nothing

Tal como es la foto y su dueño muy cortés y amable…al estar cerca del aeropuerto me ayudó mucho

Agua fría al bañarme…tiene calentador de agua pero no funcionó.

leaving

SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS---shortly after booking i started receiving multiple messages from 'Joe' telling me to pay 50% deposit before arrival or he would cancel,, after seeing the apt i was concerned at the POOR CONDITION of the entire apt then 'Joe', a very pushy puertorican man in his 60s,, proceeds to tell me everything i cant use including the washing machine and storage which he writes on 'NOT WORKING OR DONT OPEN' and that i need to check out before 10a...But it only gets worse as i left to get some dinner there is a living room private door that Joe appears to use to gain UNAUTHORIZED entry into the apt while youre away...ALSO In the bedroom i noticed some red blinking lights when the room was dark SPY CAMERAS...after check out Joe proceeded to tell me a list of everything i did wrong but what was really concerning is that he says he saw me try to use the washing machine ??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS CREEP MUST HAVE CAMERAS IN THE APT---REPORTED TO BOOKING

Quiet, comfortable, very clean

N/A

Very intimate space, small and quiet — perfect for a short stay near SJU airport

It’s very close to the airport and it’s on the first (ground floor) which is very convenient Joe is very helpful, meet and greet is top tier

The check out time is 10 am which is a little bit too early, usually for apartments it’s 12pm Also the bedsheets are dark colour so are the towels and it’s hard to evaluate how clean they are

Economical n spacious

Shaby sparsely furnished

That it was close to the Airport.

The listing was misleading, and several house rules were changed upon arrival without prior notice. The host entered the apartment unannounced and without permission to turn off the air conditioning and fans, which felt intrusive and unacceptable. There were also restrictions on how guests could manage the property’s electricity and climate control — none of which were disclosed before check-in. Additionally, the payment process seemed unorganized and raised concerns about transparency. Future guests should be clearly informed of all rules ahead of time, and the host should respect basic boundaries

Very peaceful very home like

Very quiet and nice

Easy to get there

Great Location- three minutes taxi to the PR Airport

Very Basic - but great for the price

Joe was wonderful - communicative, kind, and helpful. I’d highly recommend booking his property.

For a room with A/C the bed should have a quilt or comforter. It only had a thin sheet

Joe is a very caring host, he welcomed us and showed us the apartment. The apartment is very spacious. The location is very convenient to the airport and beaches.

Accommodations were dated and basic, but worked for our needs.

Joe is so nice and very welcoming. We loved having our personnal space to park the car .

The air conditioner is too loud and freezing but better than having nothing

proximity to city

no hot water

Joe's apartment is perfect for a short stay. Good value for your money. Joe was friendly and greeted us upon arrival and gave us the keys.

Location is great for airport. Ver

This a very urban low budget place. Only hot water was an inline heater on the shower head. Washer didn't work. Screen and louvers but no glass in windows. So the 2am garbage pickup and barking dogs are loud.

Joe was very nice and met us at the gate. He even gave me instructions on how to get to there. He also called in the morning to check on me and make sure I turned everything off before I left.

The apartment was very dated and old. The bed was too small for a couple and the shower didn’t look so clean. Washer & Refrigirator OOS. I left to grab some food to never return and stayed at a hotel for the night instead. It would be helpful if the owner post pictures of the inside so you can make a better decision on your rental selection.

Price and location. Good for a quick overnight between flights. Very accessible to the airport and a walk to a neighborhood restaurant. Bedroom a/c was cold, but noisy. Fan overhead was great

Shower was very weak.

Close to the airport

Hair in the shower AC only in the bedroom, very loud and not powerful enough Lots of mosquitoes in the room even though we kept the door closed Lovelessly equipped

Close to the airport.

one level as I am handicapped and no stairs to get into the apartment..

A little nosey from planes

They didn’t have an iron for your clothes.

Close proximity to the airport. The owner activated his electrical generator when the Island power grid failed.

The surrounding streets were sketchy if not dangerous. Bars on all windows and doors. Sidewalks were cleaner in Delhi. Trash, broken glass, dirt and killer chickens...no joke. The window ac was so loud that I ended up using a pedestal fan.

Joe is very friendly and helpful. Apartment was clean and good AC.

Very dark, minimal natural light. Good for an airport stopover night.

Close to the airport ( but not walkable due to the 4 lane highway), and close to a small grocery store. Roomier than what I expected. Had an air conditioner, closet with hangers and TV in the bedroom. Joe was very responsive. Kitchen had a microwave, fridge and a few plates, glasses and a few pieces of cutlery. Nice high top bar with 2 chairs.

No blanket, only a bottom and top sheet. No soap in the shower. Bed had a plastic feel under the bottom sheet. You used a padlock to provide security at the entrance instead of a locked door.

Location near car rental and airport were deciding factors. Appreciated Joe meeting us to explain parking, and locks on gates & doors. Good price for location.

Quite basic amenities.

Very convenient for the airport. I didn't want to drive down from the mountains at night in the rain and fog. The AC worked well. The internet was lousy and the TV not user friendly. It's a good place to lay your head for a few hours, repack your bags and get ready for your flight.

It was really comforting and the host was nice and for the price and where is located is great!

It was clean and very comfortable

bed was very comfortable!

Host was there to meet me in-person and helped me arrive from airport to location which was very close! Would definitely recommend!

I have no negatives to comment on.

The apartment was roomy. Joe was considerate. Basically centrally located.

A smell appeared in a few mornings. Joe said he will look into the source of the smell.

Nothing

Mosquitos

It’s super close to the airport. Exactly what I needed.

The shower doesn’t work well.

Close to airport, host was very nice, parking

No blanket for bed, light switch and outlet at the shower head for hot water will kill someone by electrocution.

The air conditioner in the bedroom worked AMAZING. It was super clean, Joe was very helpful and friendly, and its super close to the airport but not too noisy. There was a really nice floor in the main room.

It was a little hard to find. Inside was just the essentials.

The property was absolutely cleaned, and close to the airport. Appliances and bathroom worked as expected, and it's close to beaches in San Juan BY CAR. And, Joe was a great host, always offering advice on places to visit and tips for moving around the city.

Bus stops are close but always late by over 30 mins. Thus, you NEED a car (rental, Uber, Taxi) to leave the area either to beach, airport or San Juan. Also, any small markets nearby close down by 9PM.

Located in a quiet place, big "small" flat

The air conditioner is very very noisy, hard to sleep with this device in function. Joe should change his AC. Flat is a bit dark, needs refreshment

Price pretty good Proximity to airport Secure enclosure Good A/C in bedroom

Each room has one bare light bulb without a sconce. No standing lamps. No table lamps because there are no tables. Harsh. In the kitchen There are about six plastic dishes, and a bag of paper plates, and a bag of plastic utensils in the cupboard. The place appears to have been furnished from yard sales or discard piles. There is no hot water heater - no hot running water from kitchen or bath faucet. There is lukewarm water in shower from an inline plug-in shower water heater. And the shower head drips - doesn’t function like a real shower head. It’s like standing under a leaky faucet. The noise from the airport is significant. Sensitive people might have a tough time here. We were left two bath towels but no hand towels, no washcloths, and no bathmat. The bedding was sheets only. I get that it can be hot, but no other cover available? Pretty cheap and shoddy. There is a folded single bed cot in the bedroom but no sheets for it. That was a little odd. I guess bedding for it is provided if there is a child in your party but it’s odd to have a metal bed frame and bare mattress just sitting in the bedroom. The cabinet faces don’t appear to ever have been washed. They’re filthy. The cabinets look pretty bad too. I think they are mismatched and mounted improperly (not square). In the kitchen area, below the bar, the wall is filthy. I doubt it’s been washed recently or ever. To complete the decor, an industrial size mop and mop bucket are in a corner of the kitchen area. The whole vibe of the place is not too good by developed world standards. My wife and I slept poorly and didn’t like the place AT ALL.

Joe responds very quickly.

Apt is old. Bed was uncomfortable. It was in a bad location. No amenities. There was a thin sheet as a cover. Only 2 bath towels, no hand towels. Wi fi password wasn't correct. Tv had no service. I wouldn't have stayed a second night.

Mr Joe is very helpful and give us all instructions that we need. The location is the best part. It’s close to the airport, close to the beach’s. And have an amazing place to eat at night that closes 1am. Joe apartment is really nice, we felt like home.

I just think should have a stove in the house, so we can make Coffee’s anytime.

Close to airport —-window unit did a great job cooling the bedroom

Bed only had a top sheet. No bedspread or blankets no stove

It is such a quick trip to the airport!! There is a padlocked gate so you feel safe in the apartment. The window unit kept the bedroom cool. That was very nice.

No air in the main living area, no stove but a microwave. Very limited on dishes if you were going to stay several days. Decor was limited. Only a top sheet for the bed.

Great apartment! Kitchen, good size.

Wi-Fi very spotty.

Great location, great host. Close to restaurants.

The location is great. My husband and I needed a one night stay so that we could catch our early flight. Joe the host is a very nice person and he was there to greet us.If you're looking for a one night stay without any extras, this is for you.Very rustic little house.

The bed wasn't comfortable at all and it just had a small sheet for my husband and I. The fridge wasn't working,it was unplugged.

Joe was there to greet us with the keys and a walkthrough of the apartment. He was a kind and attentive host.

Clean and cozy, we just stayed for one night but the host was there to meet us right away and showed us the place. He provided toiletries and clean towels. The barrio was nice to walk around too.

Location close to the airport for one night stay before the flight

Very loud air conditioning

The position is closed to the airport. Living room is spacious.

Really bad Wi-Fi.

The location

Need to upgrade bed and need air conditioning on living room. Can’t enjoy the whole apt to hot
