THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

Villa Serenata is located in Miramar, a historic neighborhood in the district of Santurce. This is one of the best urban and trendy locations in the metropolitan area. The Miramar district is well known for its unique art-deco architecture. Walking distance to anything you could need like bars, restaurants, cinemas, churches, grocery stores: just to name a few.

Miramar is located two miles from Old San Juan, three miles from shopping mecca Condado and four miles from the international airport Luis Muñoz Marin. Forget the rental car because from here you can walk or Uber to everything!

There are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:

1. Visit Puerto Rico Convention Center is the largest convention center in the Caribbean and one of the most technologically advanced in the Americas.
2. Chill at the beach! The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach. Several beaches to choose from!
3. Lunch or dinner at La Placita de Santurce a local market with 20+ restaurants and awesome nightlife. We love Santaella restaurant which offers local cuisine with a modern approach and is in La Placita.
4. Explore Miramar; this up and coming hip street is littered with funky dining and shopping options. 
5. Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 40-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship. We can help coordinate tours to this destination.
6. Spend a day in Old San Juan. There is s a lot of history to be seen and great food, drinks, and shopping.
