I second some of the other things people said. It's a modest place (like staying at a relative's place) at a great location to enjoy surrounding beaches and El Yunque. It is a studio, so it was great for just two of us.

Location is absolutely amazing - a grocery store, a bakery, restaurant and the beach are all within 1/2 a block. Plenty of street parking if you don't want to use the designated spot.The studio is very spacious, clean and has literally everything you may need. Don't miss out on this spot!

I loved our stay there! It was so refreshing to get away from Wisconsin and be free. We enjoyed the beauty of the home and the location to the beach and restaurants. Being on the beach of where I met with Pete was so fun! I can't wait to come back! $89.99 crab legs are fine!!!

#### Magic in Luquillo
Located by Playa Azul in Luquillo, it was a four minute four minute walk to the beach. From Playa Azul there is a stunning walk around the peninsula, through the shallows to Luquillo beach and the famous kioskos. It was one of the most stunningly beautiful beach walks ever and rarely crowded. The studio apartment is well located, simple and convenient and clean. Julio, the host was very attentive and helpful. Luquillo provided a peaceful home base from which we could explore the rest of enchanting Puerto Rico.

Had beach chairs and umbrella available for use. The balcony area was simply amazing! Grilled and played games and also relaxed in the hammock.

Good location for everything! , nice and clean , unclear instruction to locate as street labeling and building numbers do not exist as we found throughout the island. A Really good picture could help, gps only gets you so close , which may be street or 2 away . Had to get instructions by phone after wandering and looking , night time is impossible to find. Local people could not ID either. Room was fine , we found it hard to use balcony with neighbors smoking cigars outside regularly. We are not used to tobacco smell that close. Don Julio responded fast when we called, thank you!

#### Simple, safe and just what we needed
My husband and I stayed at Don Julio’s for 7 days to celebrate our weeding anniversary on Valentines. The morning of check in we’re able to check in super early and had a beautiful bouquet of flowers that greeted us. Such a lovely surprise! My honest feedback is this was a great place for me and my husband. The price was so cheap and the location was perfect proximity to all the fun stuff in Luqillo and El Yunque. If your boujie and want to stay in a fancy place then this isn’t for you. For the vibe of the apartment this is more simple & like a traditional Puerto Rico home your elderly grandma might live in. The furniture doesn’t really match and the walls do need a fresh coat of paint but the bed was super comfortable. The place was clean. The shower was nice and hot and had great pressure. You’re on an island so you will see a bug here and there and the lights will flicker but that is to be expected on an island! We got to hear the beautiful sounds of the coqui every night and the roasters in the morning. We love it and it’s the true Puerto Rico experience. We never lost power and had cold ac and the area was very safe to be in and walk around and so close to the beaches which was perfect. There were coolers, chairs and more beach equipment. Don Julio’s is perfect for anyone who wants a comfortable place to lay there head and a hot shower but are on the go all day running on the island! Thank you Don Julio we will be back!

This property is certainly convenient and is close to the beach and restaurants. The street is quiet and the apartment is well taken care of. I would not rave about the building itself, it is modest and fine. For the price it is good.
