Very lovely hosts, super helpful, they are the perfect people when you fly to Costa Rica for the first time (helpful tips and bunch more, they know English and other languages well). I would give 11/10. Tasty homemade breakfast. The place is in an apartment complex behind a guarded gate (you also live with the hosts)

Comfortable, large rooms. Good breakfast. Morning shuttles to the airport (for a reasonable fee). The location is very central if you want to walk to museums etc. We ate in the casino restaurant for dinner, but other restaurants/bars are in the immediate area.

The gardens were fantastic. The owner was helpful. The first night our room was a little tight for 5 so they moved us to a bigger room which was much appreciated. This is like an upscale hostel but it was fantastic. We felt right at home. You cannot beaten the price. Thumbs up.
