So I'm searching for rental properties for a vacation and have found several that look reasonable < $1,000/mo. But having never been down there, I wonder if someone could provide some insight. I want to use this first trip to look around and perhaps locate a place where I may wish to visit repeatedly. I need a launching point from which to visit the island if you will. I see some places are referred to as seedy others as tourist traps etc. Is there a place someone could start (with minimal spanish skills) and not have to be concerned with theft etc? Any information is appreciated. I'm a single guy but not particularly interested in all night party type locations. Thanks
