Paul is the best host!

Paul is the best host! I felt at home right away, and, two words: good (great, actually) taste!! 
The bnb is pretty well located, a bus takes you to old San Juan in just minutes, and the neighborhood is totally safe. 

Air-conditioned room is very comfy, special mention to the amazingly soft bed sheets and great mattress. Everything in the home is clean, delicate and very enjoyable. It was lovely getting up to a pot of (good!!) coffee already made and a home-baked muffin and to sit out on the closed porch to chat! 

I would highly recommend Paul's bnb, no hesitation whatsoever, and I'd go back in a heartbeat! 
Second special mention to the adorable doggies who add a lovely "finishing touch" to the experience! :-)

The hibiscus hideaway was an amazing apartment with an amazing host

"The hibiscus hideaway was an amazing apartment with an amazing host. The place is impeccably clean, brilliantly decorated, the room (email hidden), the bed was super comfortable, and everything smelled heavenly. The best part though was the host, Paul. He was always there for anything and everything. He even made me a smoothie, a coffee, and a cocktail (on different occasions!). If I didn't already book the rest of my trip I would definitely be staying with Paul again! Highly recommend if you're looking to stay in San Juan area."

Paul was a phenomenal host in every way!

Paul was a phenomenal host in every way! We missed our flight and desperately needed a place to stay. Paul instantly responded to our request, welcomed us into his home as if we were old friend, and helped us experience old town San Juan like a local by taking the time to tell us all about the best streets, bars, cafés, etc. He single handily turned a unlucky situation into a wonderful extra night of vacation. Also, his home and our room were beautiful and exceptionally clean and comfortable. He even put out a selection of coffee and tea in the morning, and made us warm croissants with jam! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!
