The location is great, there's a small shopping center down the street. The room was very spacious with a desk for working, an eating area, and an area to watch TV. The beds were comfortable and towels were soft. The showers have hot water, which i love! The bathroom had a blow dryer which was great because I forgot mine. The kitchen was well stocked with basic items. The back parking area felt secure with the gate that the staff control from inside.

Beautiful high-rise with amazing views of the city, and minutes from the airport. The complex has everything you could want - pool, fitness area, rooftop lounging area with firepit, library, kid's area, billiards, office/teleconference areas, and a great selection of restaurants/bars on the bottom level. The en-suite washer/dryer was also a very convenient feature before my flight back home. In addition, the Host was super-responsive with all of our questions.

This apartment was fully stocked with everything we could have needed and was extremely comfortable. The building and facilities like the pool were very clean and the location is great, there are many restaurants, stores and coffee shops nearby. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. I can't say enough good things about how well the apartment was stocked, small things that made the stay feel like home.

    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!
