What a value for the little money spent! There is cable and satellite TV, although most programs are in Spanish. It has a hot shower which is an exception rather than the rule in a normal home here. Although it is cooler in the mountains, it was cozy sleeping in our multi-blanketed beds. We enjoyed dinner at this property and ate the local trout, as it is the freshest fish available in these pristine mountain locations. Very yummy! The cold, clear mountain water is delicious.... no chemicals here! We filled all our water bottles to take with us. We did not eat breakfast at the restaurant as we had a full kitchen. However, we did make use of the provided tea and coffee, which was locally produced and was so delicious that we purchased several bags to take home with us.

    We could not have been happier with the apartment , communication and location. Hannia was so accommodating and allowed us to check in very early which made our day. The apartment was sparkling clean and had a very cozy and homey feel to it. We loved having the terrace door open and getting a nice breeze all day long. The beds were clean and comfortable. The area is fantastic and so are the amenities of the Cosmopolitan Tower. Really a great value place

    Everything. Spotlessly clean, the room smelled lovely, the bed was like a hotel bed, Netflix on the big TV felt like a treat, charming courtyard, spotless and very well equipped kitchen, very secure (very important), Mayela is the kindest, sweetest host. She recommended a great authentic Mexican just down the road. Cannot recommend this place enough, its a little haven in the otherwise sketchy San Jose landscape.

    Really charming hotel. Convenient location, good parking and friendly service. The breakfast was excellent and the bar/restaurant area had a lovely atmosphere. It’s a nice touch to have complimentary snacks in the room mini bar, along with coffee/tea making facilities.

    I arrived at midnight due to a delayed flight and the owner was waiting for me outside. The room was cosy and the bed comfortable. The highlight was having breakfast outside taken care off by the loveliest lady. All in all I felt very welcome and it was a brilliant start to my trip.
