From prompt and thoughtful communication with our hosts, to comfort, layout, cleanliness, and privacy for each of the three of us( 46, 77, and 78 years old) ,this property met all our needs. The futon in the office bedroom was very comfortable, and it was great to have bedside lighting for those who read in bed, as well as overhead lighting in the bedrooms.
The outdoor area with Alicia's garden (fascinating for a family from Michigan) was lovely with plenty of shade, and access to the urban forest behind the house with easy trails was an added bonus.
Nearby access to major highways allowed us to travel out of San Juan easily to other areas.
Take time in the garden to notice all the flowering plants and trees and how they are potted, and watch for the Puerto Rican birds that we don't see at home. We had wonderful conversations with Gabriel about flora and fauna, local restaurants and food, recreation opportunities all over the island, music, history and culture, development of the urban forest, and we especially appreciated advice about the four day San Sebastian Festival (Sanse) that took place during our visit.
We came for the Puerto Rican Winter League Baseball Finals and wound up enjoying the welcoming friendly people who shared their stories and culture as well.
Thank you so much to the best hosts for adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip.
