Meet the Host
Hola! 👋 I’m Erika, your Boricua host with big corazón.
My family is from Arecibo, pero I was born and raised in Brooklyn. After years of city life, I decided to come back to my roots and move to Arecibo…because let’s be honest, who says no to palm trees, rivers, and pan sobao? 🌴🍞
When you stay with me, you’re not just booking a place—you’re supporting a local Puerto Rican family and getting a true Boricua experience. Let's make sure your stay feels like mi casa es tu casa.
Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or just to sip café on the porch listening to the river, I’ve got you covered.
So, welcome to Puerto Rico! Bring your flip-flops, leave your stress behind, and let’s make some memories. Bienvenidos a la isla, mi gente. 🇵🇷✨

Getting around
Public transportation in Puerto Rico is limited, so we highly recommend renting a car for the best experience. 🚗 With a car, you’ll have easy access to beaches, Cueva del Indio, supermarkets, bakeries, Walmart, restaurants, and the main highways that connect you to San Juan and Aguadilla airports.
If you’re not driving, taxis and Uber can sometimes be available, but they’re not always reliable outside the metro area. Renting a car will give you the freedom to explore Arecibo and beyond at your own pace.
