Calm, laid back family run place in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to barrio Escalante and city center.. wifi was good, breakfast was awesome, First time I've experienced dorm beds getting made everyday with clean bedsheets and towel! The garden area was a nice place to chill. The family was very humble and welcoming.. will definitely stay again.

    Fabulous amenities in a good location (the airport side of SJ) near supermarkets and eateries, a 15-min Uber ride to the central zone. Quiet, good AC, comfy bed, laundry facilities and kitchen all great. Super, safe parking garage.

    Very well equipped and impressively furnished apartment. Great facilities including pool and gym. Ideal for a short stay in San Jose! Hosts really had thought of everything, leaving supplies of lots of things you might need in the kitchen for the duration of your stay and information about the local area. Highly recommend!

    The personnel at the main desk was very friendly and helpful! The apartment is really nice with a kitchen and living room with a beautiful view with some restaurants in the neighborhood. The city center is a long distance walk but still doable. The Sabana park is around the corner! Lastly, the jacuzzi on the rooftop is warm and nice with a good view on the city as their are only few big buildings in the neighborhood!
