About this apartment rental

Our property is located 300 meters (+/- 1000 feet) above sea level secluded at the edge of the El Yunque National Forest, one of the most important rainforest ecosystem in the national park inventory. The flora and the fauna are particular to the damp environment, in particular the coqui, a very small frog and the different types of lizards, exhuberant firns and exotic heliconias and bambues populate the landscape around us.

The apartment is located in the bungalow guest house adjacent to the house in which we live. We have been here since 20 years ago enjoying our 3 daughters, nature, my wife's organic vegetable garden, exotic flowers and fruits and the most incredible scenery you can imagine.

The apartment at the guest house is fully equipped to relax and enjoy your stay in the rain forest. The bedroom has a queen size bed that sleeps 2 plus a full futon which sleeps 1 more: In total it sleeps 3. 4 is too tight!

Unfortunately the apartment, the roof terrace and the surroundings are NOT child proof so, please, NO children under sixteen are allowed. It is ideal for a couple hideaway or for a small family adventure. It has a fully equipped kitchenette (separate from the bedroom), with a wooden dinning table to enjoy your meals, card games and conversations overlooking the vegetable garden, the mountains and the ocean. A fantastic private terrace above the apartment is ideal for BBQ's, watching spectacular sunsets, star gazing or as your own solarium. Our small, but wonderful family pool and spacious sun terrace is available for our guests.

There are many to do things such as sightseeing and adventures, some within walking distance and some at the most 45 minutes away. But one of the best is just dedicating one day to stay home and enjoy the rainforest and it's magic.

We had a great time staying in this El Yunque bungalow. The property was stunning, and the bungalow itself was cozy and had a kitchen with everything we could need, a bedroom with AC (which we didn't need/use), a very nice bathroom, and the perfect little roof to take in the views. Our hosts were gracious, welcoming, and full of helpful tips and advice. I would recommend this trip to anyone--and am likely to return.

My boyfriend and I stayed here on the recommendation of friends. We were not let down. The property and the hosts are awesome. The apartment has everything you need and is close to endless adventures. We would definitely come back.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The property is gorgeous and very well-maintained. You will have your choice of extreme relaxation and solitude or adventures galore within El Yunque and the surrounding area. Beaches are a short drive away; ALL is a short drive away! The journey up and down the mountain to come and go is an endearing adventure involving trust in your fellow man as well as the rental car's suspension! Your hosts are lovely and unobtrusive - available if needed. Esteban is clearly passionate about sharing his home, and all it has to offer, with his guests. I know he loves his home, his family and his island; he wants everyone to enjoy the many offerings of Puerto Rico. With every visit to this truly enchanted island, I find myself more and more envious of the culture which defines these lovely, loving, kind and friendly folks. We are blessed to have Puerto Rico as our friend, and we must treasure her. Esteban and his family are marvelous ambassadors.

Our family of 4 enjoyed staying in this guest house in the rain forest. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds, privacy, pool and being able to prepare most of our meals in the little kitchen. Esteban was a friendly and helpful host. We feel lucky to have been able to stay here!

We had an amazing stay for about a week in this rainforest bungalow. They had everything we needed from extra pillows to basic needs in the house. The two terraces were very private overlooking the city lights at night and had tables for us to eat. We saw several coqui frogs on the premises and enjoyed birds chirping. Two min away was Toro trail. There were no tourists on this since it's no longer an official trail but was safe for us 3 including our 9 y.o. Also had local panderias 15 min from house in rainforest with great snacks. We tried to make sure we got home before 7 since it's a curvy dark road, but found roads 186 and 196 not bad. Well worth the drive up there. We asked our hosts if we could get married just us on their terrace. They were happy to let us and the space was big enough outside for our minister Ogla and photographer. It looked like it was going to rain so they let us use their personal terrace with a roof and we had a lovely ceremony over the trees. I had the best pictures by their lit pool and well kept garden. My daughter even enjoyed playing with their daughter, and they shared some Of their great homemade cheese. They truly made us feel like we were on a secluded paradise for our wedding and honeymoon.

Everything was amazing about our stay here. Esteban and his wife were great hosts. They answered any questions we had and were friendly and fun to talk to. The guesthouse was a great experience. You're minutes away from the rainforest and the view from the property is amazing. You can see out onto part of the rainforest and even part of the city and shoreline in the far off distance. There's a nice private rooftop patio onto of the guest house that you can enjoy with privacy, a great spot for a drink and enjoying the view. Inside you get a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. A very nice amount of space and amenities for the price, there isn't a better deal. The futon might be a bit small for four depending on their ages, that'd be my only caution. Everything else though was perfect and added a lot of memories to our honeymoon!

Esteban and his family went above and beyond to welcome us and help us get the most out of our 3-night stay in El Yungue. He gave us pointers and directions to nearby sites, and we had a wonderful time exploring the rainforest and surrounding area. We were even able to find our own private waterfall and wading pools away from tourists. The bungalow is PERFECT, with everything you need to relax, cook, and feel at home. The views from the bungalow were breathtaking, and we enjoyed breakfast on the upper terrace every morning. This place is lovely, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the El Yungue region of Puerto Rico, relax, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding cities. We hope to return in the future! Thanks to Esteban and his family for the warm hospitality.

If you are looking for getting away from the busy life of the city... This is it! It's a beautiful apt/house deep inside the rain forest. Don't use Google.. or think you can wing it. Google maps is not well versed in Puerto Rico. Literally use the directions provided by the host and you'll be fine (which means stick to the 185 and 186 roads). The apt is very well equipped with pretty much any amenity you can imagine. I loved the thoughts that went into pretty much every corner of the place. The design is playful and beautiful! The host family is wonderful. I ended up talking to them in the afternoons and I felt I was part of their family. In terms of food, there is a small but well stocked grocery store near the 185-186 intersection. Just look for Supermercado on your Google maps and you'll find it. I ended up getting some good there and found some BBQ in the afternoon. I honestly wanted to get away from the city and feel calm. This place did it and was phenomenal! Coming back next year.
