Very friendly and welcoming owners. The place was clean and full of details. The kitchen is fully equipped and has a nice terrace. The room is quite big and you have plenty of space to unpack and pack your things. The best hotel that we stayed in Carta Rica. Is worth going there, mainly if you have a car.

Min was the perfect host🥰She was attentive to my questions and arrival time even before I got there. Upon arrival, she gave me a warm welcome and recommended a restaurant for dinner. The house stands out for its cleanliness, order, and harmony, featuring a small garden, spacious and bright common areas. The room has everything needed for a comfortable stay: a private bathroom, hot water, towels, closet and Netflix😎. The bed is very comfortable. The location is exceptional, in a quiet neighborhood. The breakfast includes eggs, gallo pinto, fruits, and coffee. The price is very reasonable. Thank you for hosting me. I would definitely stay there again. 谢谢 🙏🏼

Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

This guesthouse is situated in a quiet and safe district 15 minutes drive to San Jose'center. It's a big house with 5 different comfortable rooms. The owner doesn't live there, so this house is for the travellers. There is a large dining room, a lounge, a kitchen with all you need. A small garden with a sofa. Breakfast correct included. The entire house is very clean. A lot of light. All rooms with windows. The beds are very comfortable . Wifi works well everywhere. Usually it's Una who welcomes you. She is very friendly and speaks English, Chinese and Spanish fluently . She answers quickly on WhatsApp. It's really a very pleasant house. We can see the influence of women style. To go by taxi to San Jose, use DiDi or Uber but DiDi is always cheaper. There are 2 big commercial centers close to the guesthouse 4 mn on foot. Plaza Rohrmoser and Plaza major. I preferred Rohrmoser smaller and cheaper. Also you find Claro and bank of CostaRica. Take care, the change at the airport is horrible and the ATM Bac takes a big commission.

    We rented a two-bedroom suite with kitchen facilities and we were very happy with our choice. The rooms were all spacious, clean, up-to-date and comfortable. They were also quiet. The reception staff and maids were friendly and welcoming and happy to accommodate our requests. La Sabana is in a great location, about 20 minutes outside the city centre in a quiet area of town with a park nearby. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Super comfy and quiet private room, great location in a safe neighborhood to walk around and explore, good food options nearby… the kitchen is also well stocked with appliances and utensils, and there’s a beautiful patio to relax / hang out.

    Really lovely apartments in a great location. Close enough to the city centre to walk in but far enough out of the centre that it was quiet and peaceful. Also, lovely park nearby. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Very comfortable beds. Was lovely relaxing by the pool watching the various birds after a busy day sightseeing. Breakfast was great, fresh and tasty food and lots of it. Would highly recommend.
