Very nice place with a beautiful view.
Very nice place with a beautiful view. The airbnb has some great touches, like the video games and the record player. The room is also very large and spacious. There is great natural lighting for anyone that enjoys that or is an influencer/content creator. The only downside is that the air conditioning is pretty loud… so I would err on the side of caution to anyone that cannot sleep with loud background noise that will intermittently click on and off. It didn’t bother me too much, as I sleep with background noise anyways but! Location: very close (driving distance) to old san juan, distrito t-mobile, and the beach. It’s a great middle point. Not loud or anything because the floor is high up
Excellent Airbnb!
Excellent Airbnb! The location is amazing, with proximity to the airport, Condado Beach, Isla Verde Beach, and La Placita for nightlife. Everything else was just an $5 Uber away. The apartment was very nice and secure. We had lots of fun and highly recommend it. The host was also very responsive to our needs and requests.
I’m happy we get to experience our first time in Puerto Rico
I’m happy we get to experience our first time in Puerto Rico in such a beautiful environment!! The hospitality and customer service were top notch! I definitely will be booking this place whenever I’m planning my trip to Puerto Rico. I highly recommend Otium Thank you!

Loved it!
Loved it! We came from Dallas, Tx. It was originally just me & another friend, but for an additional $47.24. That was very convenient, and there was a bed & a pull out couch available so we all slept comfortably. The bathroom is super duper small, but for 1 person it is okay. Very clean, the pool was very clean the entire stay! We all enjoyed it greatly and if I ever stayed in Puerto Rico again, they would be my first pick. I wish they had more smaller towels for us, but literally nothing wrong with this property for us.
I really loved my stay at this apartment!
I really loved my stay at this apartment! I’m a local born and raised in Puerto Rico and I’ve been to old San Juan hundreds of times, but the experience of staying inside these old buildings is unique on its own. This one specifically though was in a part of OSJ where it’s more quiet en peaceful, but if you wish to go out have fun it’s just a couple of blocks away from very good bars and clubs. I recommend staying here with your family and friends and enjoy the night life of OSJ.
First and foremost, I must say the customer service is top notch.
First and foremost, I must say the customer service is top notch. The team was very responsive and patient with my million questions. The apartment is on the top floor overlooking the pool, lots of windows if you enjoy sunshine. To my surprise there was a arcade machine with all my favorite games from the 80s. Very nice touch. The bed was very comfy and there is plenty of space for storing your stuff. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need if you wish to cook. The staff was nice enough to greet me with some snacks, K cups pods for coffee and bottle water. I think the bottle could at least be a liter bottle since upon arrival you might not be in the mood to go grocery shopping, and water is one of those essentials we all value. The pool is nice and well maintained. There are a few restaurants and bars within walking distance. I recommend the Blue Shark and Bistro Café for brunch. Really good food. Overall great stay albeit the rain, but I enjoyed my stay.

This place is exactly what you see in the pictures.
This place is exactly what you see in the pictures. There was some issues with the locks but I’m sure it will be fixed. The value is okay, since there is construction by the pool area but other than that it’s in a good location. This place is close to everything
Very clean and nice place
Very clean and nice place did a good job communicating
Great location
Great location, resort like gated community with alot of pools, also has a burger shack on select days by main pool.
This is a large apartment with two big bedrooms
This is a large apartment with two big bedrooms, comfortable beds, three bathrooms, nice and living room. It’s in a quite complex, with a small swimming pool and straight access to a very empty beach. But there is nothing really around so you have to drive for everything. The beach is completely empty and so is the complex where the apartment is located. However, we had a real issue with checking in. The company had forgotten to put our names on the security list so it took us 3 hours to be able to enter the apartment. we got in at 3am. it was extremely frustrating, especially since we had three young children in the car. The security kept telling us it was the wrong building so we kept driving around until we finally realized it was right. They did refund us one night and the company communicates well. One of the shower floors isnt built right so the water leaks into the floor and into the bedrooms. but then the company asked for $200 in additional cleaning. bc of some dirty dishes.
if you are thinking about booking this, don’t think twice!!
if you are thinking about booking this, don’t think twice!! This place was perfect and just what I was looking for. It looks exactly like the pictures. It was very clean and just as described, no complaints at all. There were beach towels and chairs for use at the beach, kitchen stocked with anything you need to cook, Keurig with the best, Bustelo coffee. The bed was very comfortable. it is in the perfect location, literally a 3-6 minute walk to everything. All the restaurants and the beach are right up the street. 24 hour walgreens is right across the street from the air bnb as well. The staff was very responsive and helpful and was able to answer any question that I had. very professional and kindl. They checked on me to make sure my stay was going good with no issues. I wish I could have stayed here longer than 2 days because I definitely would have. It does not have many reviews but that is because it may be a newer listing. Trust Me this is worth it if u want to have a great trip!
Otium and team were very responsive
Otium and team were very responsive to my messages and were eager to ensure we had a peasant stay. Within hours of letting them know our coffee machine wasn’t working, someone came by with a brand new one and even gave us more coffee for our “troubles!” Overall, we enjoyed the apartment and loved having access to the shared pool! There is a nearby beach (about a 10-minute walk), but it’s small so we opted to drive to one of the larger beaches. Inside the apartment there is a step down from the kitchen/living room area to the bathroom/bedroom area. It (literally) tripped us up several times (we used our portable night light and set it on the step so it was visible at night). It was a bit confusing to understand the exact location of the apartment using Google, but the video instructions Otium sent made it clear once we arrived. There is a small arcade machine (with Pac Man and a few other games) in the apartment which we had fun playing! An overall positive experience!
Loved this place!
Loved this place! Close to everything and spacious. The pool although was dirty and unkempt. Besides that, would stay again.
The host was extremely responsive and kind when messaging
The host was extremely responsive and kind when messaging. I ranked a couple 4/5 based on their being 5 flight of stairs and no elevator. It would have been nice to list that in the description. The flights became my workout for the day approximately 20 stairs in total (short flights). Despite the stairs I would strongly recommend the unit. It’s beautiful and right off the beach. The host was amazing. The cost was worth it.. Thanks for a beautiful experience!
I really did enjoy my stay!
I want to be honest and say I really did enjoy my stay! It had pretty much everything I wanted. Not expensive but worth the price due to how small the unit is but it was only myself and my daughter so it worked out well. I enjoyed the pool although there was some bugs but it didn’t bother me much because it’s just dead bugs lol the pool seem fairly clean so that’s all that mattered. I was able to enjoy a lot in a little amount of time. You just have to have a little idea and use google or maps to find the best and closest places you want to go!
We had a great stay
We had a great stay, the location was perfect, the apartment was extremely clean and well-equipped. Host was very proactive and communication really easy. The beach is just a few street corners away and the beach is beautiful and less busy than the beaches a little further west. It’s also a lively area with a great selection of restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. While being 15 min by taxi/Uber from the old San Juan.
The place was spotless
The place was spotless, love the way they decorated everything and the view it had to the sea, access to the beach and many very good places in the area, it had everything you could possibly need. Love that about the accommodation, What I could say that I really bothered was that they do not have parking for the guest even when if there is parking for the apartments, they do not give us access to such parking, I lost an hour of the stay looking for parking and when I call to ask a few questions they did not speak Spanish, we are in Puerto Rico in my opinion they should have someone who speaks Spanish as well. The Otium process for identity verification does not seem prudent since they ask for too much private information on another platform which is not Airbnb including credit or debit card number, passport, photos etc (airbnb already has that in system). The place was perfect. Otium in general was what I didn’t like.
