Good location, safe area, walked around all times of the day and never felt unsafe. Room was clean. Near some good stores, restaurants. The host checked on me a few times during my stay. Was a 10 minute drive from everything I had planned which was a bunch of tourist stuff. Parking was decent, the self check in was nice. There was a community kitchen with plates and cups and other stuff you could use.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Emerald a ton! My space was extremely clean and up-to-date, while also having a lot of character - it felt like a much more authentic experience than staying at a resort high rise. Its location is fantastic too, as it's within easy walking distance of the beach, a Walgreen's for essentials, as well as a couple restaurants (including the famed Kasalta). It's also a block away from a bus line that runs from the airport to Old San Juan, hitting most of the touristy areas along the shore in between, so you don't necessarily have to depend on Uber to get around.

Disliked: Amenities
The best thing about this property is the location! You are a short 3-5 minute walk from Condado Beach and there are tons of restaurants, bars, and lounges in walking distance. Felt very safe. When we arrived, we could not find our room, a map of the room names would be nice for future guests. The parking area is vague as there are 2 spots and the third one looks like a drive-way. I ended up parking there, but didn't know or was never informed on where it was allowed to park. One of the nights I had to park on the street and one of the main reasons I booked this place was because it included parking so that needs a bit of work. When we walked in it was pretty clean, but there were trash bags someone from before left on the small patio. The bathroom window was open so it was extmely hot and humid to get ready in there, we ended up closing it and wedging the door open to make it cool enough to put on make-up and get ready (the door won't stay open). A full-length mirror somewhere would be nice. The shared kitchen was nice because people leave left over sunblock, aloe vera, umbrellas, etc and it is useful but it would be nice if it stayed open later. Overall OK, and it served its purpose as a central location to sleep yet be close enough to everything.

I have stayed in the area before but the host here was incredible. I started discussing my needs with Guatam, the host prior to my arrival. I had requested a beach chair and it was there upon arrival. The rooms are much larger than the area in general. My room the “Opal” was a studio sized room with a sitting area. The shared kitchen was right next door. The kitchen is stacked with everything one may need to cook. Utensils, dishes, pots and pans etc…. There’s a fridge and each room gets a shelf. There’s a water purifier to make ice and have filtered drinking water. Tons of outlets in the room. I love the Koi pond and the cute courtyard. The neighborhood is extremely safe as it is in Ocean Park a gated community. The Emerald is directly across the street from a gated entrance. Three short blocks away is the beach which has beautiful waves but not as intense as Condado. There’s a bunch of cafes and restaurants within walking distance and a walgreens open 24 hours 2 blocks away. It’s just extremely convenient. The price is incredible and I even extended my stay a few days. I prefer the feeling of a guesthouse over the large hotels. I also prefer supporting small businesses as much as I can. I can see why this host is a superhost. I will be back.
