Traveler advice
Getting around
In OSJ you can walk, going out uber, going far rent a car.
The apartment is in a great location, walking distance to everything in Old San Juan. If you want to go to the beach or anywhere nearby, you can call an uber or a scooter is a great option if you find one. If you are going far away is better and cheaper to rent a car.
If you rent a car please know that the parking situation at OSJ is complicated. Because the city is so old, most of the Condos doesn't have parking garage. There are several private parking nearby with a moderate hour fee. You can't park on the street from 6 pm to 6am on weekdays. On weekends you can't park anytime.
