Located just 10 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, Casa Kibi Kibi provides accommodation in San José with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as a shared kitchen. The property features garden and inner courtyard views, and is 8.5 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. I was very surprised! It's a large, neat colonial house (bungalow style). All rooms are private with bathroom and arranged around a very lush courtyard. It's spacious and well-kept, fully a equipped kitchen and a Peri grocery store at the corner. Lots of couches and books to read. The host doesn't live on site but is super friendly and responsive. There's a bus stop at the corner with plenty of busses bringing you to the center. Overall, it's the comfort of a hotel with the convenience of a hostel.
