Very nice cosy room, with a pleasant patio, well equipped common kitchen with coffee and tea at the disposal for everybody. We had a room with private bathroom,so it was really comfortable... What is special, is the personal access to every guest, host Natalia ready to help and a very good vibe of the place, where everyone feels as to be at home. Very good access from the Airport. Great accomodation for few nights after and before your flight... Next time, I would choose the same place!

Cute detached studio that has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The owners/hosts were the best!! We were warmly greeted by their family, and their dad even took us to his favorite seafood restaurant so we could enjoy a great final night in Costa Rica. He then got up at 3:30 am to drive us to the airport. They made our stay so special!

    What a Lovely place. A perfect first night if you are looking for an authentic and welcoming place near the airport. The place is very charming and you feel like being in a little jungle. The room is spotless clean, very spacious, and well furnished. I loved the decoration and the little attentions in the room for the arrival : sweets on the table and in the kitchen. And finally, Keneth is really a great host, very kind, helpful and attentive. Muchas gracias !

    What a great host! Keneth stayed up to welcome us even though we were late because of lost luggage , he showed us around and then was up bright and early to give us recommendations for shopping to enable us to continue our trip. This is a great place to stay close to the airport.

    The hosts were very welcoming and attentive throughout our time there. The location is perfect for travelers seeking proximity to the airport and the host gave us a ride to the airport. Also close to the large shopping center of Alajuela and the city center. A first contact to hummingbirds is possible in the small garden.

    You will be welcomed by Laura, a charming person who will do everything to make your stay pleasant. She will help you if you need it.. The place is very clean, close to the city center and two minutes from the bus stop to reach the airport or San José.. The breakfast prepared by Laura is simply delicious... At this price one of the best addresses in Lajuela
