Family guest house is in very nice location, with a huge garden, where we had breakfast. Perfect place to spend a night before or after flight from/to SJO. Owner is friendly and helpful lady, gave us recommendations for nice restaurant in the town. Beds were comfortable, rooms was clean, breakfast simple, but tasty. Recommend to stay here if you are in the area.

The host was charming. The flat is incredibly well furnished - she has thought of all the little details that make your stay very comfortable and feel like home. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, it lacked nothing. The location is great. Walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. and 10 minutes drive to the airport. Had a private garage to park our car. A great value for money. Definitely recommend it before a flight in or out of Costa Rica.

The arrangement of things in the room, the cleanliness of the space, the free coffee (yummy), the attention to details in the rooms, the helpful owner, and so many things. Such a great place. The owner was very responsive and even helped drop-off my friend at the airport for a minimal charge at 4:30 AM.

    Location was good, close to airport- a cheap Uber ride for less than $4 to the airport was helpful. The late overnight staff member (after 10pm) was nice and friendly, as were the morning female staff members... this was in stark contrast to the guy who checked us in on arrival. The staff at the parking lot a block away were friendly and easy going. The balcony was cute and you can see the mountains in the distance.

    hostess was amazing. she went above and beyond in helping me with many heavy pieces of luggage as I am disabled with back injuries. she prepared food to my preference (vegan) and offered to cook more. the room was adequate, quiet and clean. the bathroom was spotless, the shower had good water pressure and was hot. the location is great to get to the airport and the price is very affordable.

    Great location close to airport and is quieter than staying in San Jose. Very clean and lovely common sitting area and courtyard as well as kitchen with coffee and breakfast available all day. Easy and cheap to get bus into San Jose and they will arrange shuttle to airport etc. very helpful and quick to reply. Lots of good restaurants, ice cream parlours and bars close by.

    Location is ideal for incoming and outgoing overnight stays within short 5min travel time to international airport. It is a proudly operated family business that is spotlessly clean and adds personal touch.
