The location is perfect, close to Barrio Escalante and very close to the city center by walking as well. There is a supermarket where you can find everything you need at 5 minutes walking distance and very nice restaurants and coffee shops around (I recommend Mandrágora Gastro Pub with Harry Potter vibes and Franco for a nice coffee). You have everything in this hostel, a lot of showers, toilets, full equipped kitchen, beds are perfects. The team who is in charge of this hostel is very helpful and friendly ! Thanks to them ! It's automatic check in, so nobody will be here to host you so make sure to have read before the message from the hostel on booking. You will have to fill some basics info in order to have your key to enter the building (1 minute action so it's manageable easily)

This is my second time staying in this unit. With it's great location I had no need for a car. There are numerous great restaurants in easy walking distance and Uber is available in minutes at all times. The unit is extremely well organized and secure. It has everything I needed including a clothes washer and dryer. To top it off, the owners are very nice and available with a phone call.

Fabulous amenities in a good location (the airport side of SJ) near supermarkets and eateries, a 15-min Uber ride to the central zone. Quiet, good AC, comfy bed, laundry facilities and kitchen all great. Super, safe parking garage.

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!
