    Wonderful property with many nice touches but the hostess Mirella is what makes it truly exceptional! She is warm, friendly and makes a great breakfast! Chilled water was another nice touch.

    I stayed here for one night on a layover in San Jose and it was absolutely delightful. The host is kind and friendly and helpful. The home is cozy and comfortable. The breakfast was hearty and delicious. The location is walking distance to a small shopping mall with ATM and grocery store. Also, a short ride to the airport. I will definitely stay here on my next visit to San Jose. :)

    Good family hotel. Basically it is a colonial-style home with patio, dining room etc. Nice and helpful réception lady. Simple room. Private parking. Beautiful patio.

    The ceiling fan in one of our rooms made noise all night and it was hard for one family member to sleep, but I think this can be easily remedied.

    The lady was SO nice and the house was lovely. The bathroom was clean. They had a secure parking spot for us. The price was very reasonable.

    Not a negative but keep in mind that it would be easier to have a car to be able to move around easier as public transport was not the most convenient.

    Very nice room and cosy - this place is actually like a big house. The room was super clean and spacious at a quiet (and safe) neighbourhood. The hosts were very friendly. The breakfast was great. Recommended.

    This guesthouse is situated in a quiet and safe district 15 minutes drive to San Jose'center. It's a big house with 5 different comfortable rooms. The owner doesn't live there, so this house is for the travellers. There is a large dining room, a lounge, a kitchen with all you need. A small garden with a sofa. Breakfast correct included. The entire house is very clean. A lot of light. All rooms with windows. The beds are very comfortable . Wifi works well everywhere. Usually it's Una who welcomes you. She is very friendly and speaks English, Chinese and Spanish fluently . She answers quickly on WhatsApp. It's really a very pleasant house. We can see the influence of women style. To go by taxi to San Jose, use DiDi or Uber but DiDi is always cheaper. There are 2 big commercial centers close to the guesthouse 4 mn on foot. Plaza Rohrmoser and Plaza major. I preferred Rohrmoser smaller and cheaper. Also you find Claro and bank of CostaRica. Take care, the change at the airport is horrible and the ATM Bac takes a big commission.

    So that food is not wasted, I would prefer we were asked about what we would be able to eat. An offer of a muffin or something "to go" in the morning would be nice, as we had an early flight so we didn't get to have breakfast on the second day. A luggage rack in each room would be very helpful as well :)

    Very nice and helpful host/staff! Comfy bedding and a good shower. Quiet and secure, including secure parking for our rental car for the night.
