Location is perfect to people just passing by to catch a flight in San Jose. Also some buses pass really near the location (to Uvita, Dominical, Tamarindo).

We loved this place! Only stayed here for a night in between flights and it was perfect. Close to the airport, the owner was lovely and gave us recommendations for food etc. Will definitely choose this little safe haven again when we come this way 🪷🌴🌞

We enjoyed the apartment so much that we ended up extending our stay for one extra night. Adrian was very welcoming and efficient when I arrived. Then Olga was extremely caring and friendly for the rest of our stay. Both of them gave us lots of tips and helped us with transportation to interesting places and the airport. We found the flat cozy and very clean with lots of attention to detail. It contains everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. The location is quiet in a residential area, but close to Alajuela center.

I had a wonderful stay here! The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The whole house is beautifully kept and very well maintained. The host is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel at home rather than just a visitor. The Wi-Fi works great, and you can use the kitchen and living room. There’s also a lovely, friendly dog. The location is perfect close to the city center, with many restaurants and shops nearby. Alajuela feels safe and friendly, and I’d definitely come back!

Just coming back to give another review following our second stay at Casa Cafetal following our arrival at SJO and having stayed for two further nights at the end of our trip in Costa Rica. Everything was perfect as before. We had a rental car on our final day and were able to easily park into the gated parking space provided. We used the washing machine/dryer to wash our clothes - maybe some basic instructions to start might help - but it was quite straightforward after working out how to use it. All the cooking facilities were great and it's very convenient to get some groceries at Fresh Market over the road from the house. Once again, the host Manuel was excellent. Make sure to ask him for some tips on local customs, driving and places to visit before your trip as it is so helpful!

The place is clean, and very cozy it really feels like home. The host was amazing, always friendly and attentive. The location is very central, so everything is close by, and the airport shuttle service was a huge plus, super convenient. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again without a doubt.

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.
