Staying at Erika's place was a pleasure! When we arrived, a family of howler monkeys were swinging though the trees and it was such a treat to watch them. We also saw the crocodile Shakira and Rambo the iguana. This is definitely the place to be if you want to be close to nature! Bring plenty of bug spray though :) We didn't see Erika but she was very responsive with communication both before and during our stay.
