San Juan
San Juan's shopping scene rewards those who wander off the souvenir conveyor belt. From minimalist jewelry studios to zero-waste refilleries and pop-up designer markets, these are the places where locals actually spend their money — and where your gifts will have actual stories behind them.
What truly sets Bed + Balance apart is the owners' steadfast commitment to sustainability. All operations utilize organic, biodegradable, and eco-friendly practices and products. The decor incorporates stunning, responsibly sourced handcrafts made by local artisans. And the property's own verdant garden courtyard provides a serene outdoor lounge to reset and reconnect with nature.
Puerto Rico Restaurant Week 2019 runs from June 1 to 10, 2019 and diners will have the opportunity to explore different culinary styles and taste exquisite menus at affordable fixed prices (prix fixe).

Don’t be lured in by tacky souvenir shops selling stuffed coquís and shot glasses emblazoned with the Puerto Rican flag. If you want to shop like a local, ask a local.

Paul exemplifies what it means to be an Airbnb Superhost. From expedient text and prompt email messaging during the communication and check-in process, to the essential details of cleanliness, appointments & furnishings, location, generous use of shared common spaces, and even final check-out (e.g. Paul offered us a variety of custom pre-stamped photo-postcards as a parting gift.).
Paul raises the bar of what Airbnb HQ expects of its Superhosts across all hosting hospitality standards. We stayed five consecutive nights on a business trip held at the Puerto Rico Convention Center, which was a mere 10-minute-walk from Paul's place. His two Pugs are equally well-mannered, cute, and quiet. We would choose Paul's [Amenity Filled Central Chic Urban Boutique Oasis] again if we needed to stay in San Juan's Miramar District.
