Such a nice place to stay! The owner and his family are lovely, and they wanted to create somewhere where they would also be happy to stay. The beds are really comfortable and have curtains and a plug socket and light. There are two bathrooms in the dorm (with hot water), and you are given a towel. There's different breakfast every day. Thank you for a lovely stay!

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!
