It was so convenient to walk around everywhere in San Jose! The host was very kind and accommodating even though I didn’t speak much Spanish. I would stay here again!

Jorge is extremely friendly and helpful. He helped me arrange a taxi for the next morning. He even showed to make sure everything went well.
I was given a room with a balcony and patio. Very nice and unexpected.

Excellent check-in by Jorge. He stayed in touch via WhatsApp and waited until my shuttle (came in late) arrived.
