San Juan was my first “home base” when I traveled to Puerto Rico, as it is with many vacationers since this is where the island’s major airport is located. Although there are lots of other cities, beaches, and rural areas to visit, it’s worth exploring San Juan for at least a couple of days before moving on with your trip.
For your stay in the city, here are some of the top Airbnbs in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
