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.
