Great place and host!

Excelente estancia repetiría

Location is amazing. Incredibly easy check in/out. Orlando was very helpful and quick to respond to messages. The apartment itself was very clean and well maintained. The recreation area at the complex is awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in San Jose.

Greatest host ever. Very helpful in pointing out the restaurants in the area. Super friendly host, with knowledge of Costa Rica to make your stay more enjoyable. Would definitely stay at any property Orlando has. Just a great all around guy. Thanks for everything.

Perfecto! Best host EVER, and a wonderful property. Orlando's descriptions are spot on. Easy to find, easy to access, quality-quality! I have business in San Jose often and will ALWAYS check to see if this property is available before looking anywhere else. Clean, accessible, great host, nothing else to ask for.

Orlando's place was fabulous - very clean and modern, and very family friendly for those traveling with young kids with access to a private outdoor park and pool! Thanks to Orlando we also got to park underground for a night for free, and though we didn't meet him, he was very helpful with any question we had. Close to downtown - easy to walk anywhere - and there's a convenience store just outside the building which was very helpful too. Thank you Orlando!! I would definitely come back here anytime :)

Orlando was a great host super nice and helpful about everything! The apartment was clean and beautiful I wish I coulda stayed longer!

Muy bonito apartamento, cómodo y excelente vista por la terraza.

Fue una experiencia excelente Susana y su familia me acogieron con una gran hospitalidad y confianza, donde uno se siente en familia. Realmente reina el orden la tranquilidad y la paz, Les agradezco su servicio y lo recomiendo para el que quiera sentirse bien. Muchas Gracias y cuando regrese estar de nuevo ahí.

Lo recomiendo 100%, son una familia increible y te hacen sentir como en casa, todo fue perfecto! Espero volver pronto!

Susana and her mother are wonderful hosts! They made me tremendously comfortable in their beautiful home while I was visiting Costa Rica. Their condo is in a very secure community with friendly guards at the gates around the clock. Susana's mother greeted me with a delicious breakfast each morning, and she kept the house extremely clean. Although I'm not highly proficient in Spanish, her mother and sister enjoyed conversing and helping me with the language. I felt right at home while I was there. It sounds too good to be true, but this really was an amazing experience. Thank you!

Susana and her family definitely set a high bar for hospitality and thanks to them, my trip was off to an amazing start. Even before arriving, her communication was thorough and prompt, friendly and helpful. The room is as described. It's clean, comfortable and in a safe area. Bus stop is right across from the complex, so getting into downtown is very easy. I opted for walking one time and it's definitely doable, took me about 30mins to get downtown. There are a couple of "sodas" within walking distance as well. I took advantage of their breakfast option for a few bucks more and Maggie's, the mom, cooking is delicious- definitely recommended that as well. They are very welcoming and friendly and definitely felt like I was visiting with family. They offered many suggestions on where to go and what to see in and around the city, even how to venture out of the city to other sites for the day. I was able to do various activities with them as well, even went to a Zumba class they normally go to. This was my first visit to Costa Rica and this was a great way to kick off my trip, they definitely embody the "Pura Vida" spirit. Will definitely stay with them again!

No tuve la oportunidad de compartir mucho tiempo con Susana, debido a que durante gran parte de mi hospedaje le correspondió estar por fuera. No obstante, sólo tengo palabras de agradecimiento para ella y para su familia, quienes son personas muy especiales, agradables y atentas. Con respecto al alojamiento, debo decir que me sentí muy cómodo en casa de Susana, pues tiene todo lo que uno necesita para estar bien, y disfrutar de una buena estancia. Mil gracias por todo!

Beautiful house with just a beautiful, welcoming and warm family. Thank you once again for an incredible stay x

The room was just as described: clean, comfortable, private, and in a secure neighborhood. Susana and her family are kind and gracious hosts. I had a wonderful experience with them. This is very much a city environment. Those familiar and comfortable with public transportation have an advantage-as well as those who are fluent in Spanish. Uber works well in this area!

La ubicación es excelente, se puede llegar a todos lados en transporte público o taxi. Moverse desde el hogar de Susana y su familia a diferentes actividades, ya sea al aire libre o centros comerciales es muy fácil -a cualquier hora. También disfruté mucho los parques a que hay a pocos kilómetros. Para mí era importante trabajar varios días y el ambiente no podía ser mejor para ser productivo. Susana y su familia son fantásticos anfitriones.

Todo excelente

César y Byron son excelentes anfitriones. Son muy amables, el lugar es muy limpio y ordenado, las instalaciones tienen muchas extras como piscina, gimnasio, centro comercial y supermercado en los alrededores. Muy conveniente. 100% recomendado!

Cesar, Byron and Jenny made me feel at home. They made me feel part of their family. The place was as described in the listing, in addition, the pool just opened during my stay. I definitely recommend staying with them.

I felt very welcomed at Alex' place. The room was clean and I could use the kitchen as I wanted.

Alex is a really nice guy, he made sure everything was fine. Good Airbnb for the price. Let me know when you are going to France.

Alex is a great guy, he is very friendly and he explained to us a lot of things about Costa Rica and Central Americal. The apartment is super clean and close to bus station and city center (there is also a public parking in front of it). We definitely reccomend this place. Thank you so much Alex!

Good experience overall. I only stayed one night and spent very short time at the apartment, but I had stayed at Alex´s before, and the room is a good value for the money and Alex was very accommodating about the late check-in and was kind enough to keep my luggage safe, until I could pick it up. Thanks Alex!

Alex is a very friendly, responsible and helpful host. He suggested that I spend only 3 days in San Jose. Right on with that tip.

We went to Alex house for one night just before taking a bus to Corcovado Nt Park. He helped us to find the good bus from the airport to his house, and to go to the good bus station to leave San José to P. Jimenez. His cat Jóta was crazy but very friendly and funny too! We had the diner together and Alex also offered us pastas for our travel;) Think to take good earplugs if you are coming to his place! Thank you Alex.

Alex's place is amazing , super clean and safe . He does a really good job so you feel yourself just like in home

The location is great, it is easy to get there from/to the Airport. The city center is a few blocks away and there are multiple things around, like a Costa Rica Bank branch (for currency exchange) and convenience stores. Alex was really welcoming and helped me make my stay more enjoyable, he gave me advice on where to go, where to eat, and we even hanged out a couple of times. He is very easy to talk to and has a unique personality that invites you to feel comfortable staying at his place. It was a good AirBnB experience overall.

Lugar bastante agradable, recomendado.

This is one of the cleanest and most well organised hostels I've stayed in. Most of the guests seemed to be local families in stead of the usual backpacker crowed. Check-in was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this place.

Very friendly staff. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Everything is within walking distance and if your catching a cab it's pretty cheap fair.

It was a lovely place to stay and the staff were

Overall was a great first hostel experience, would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in San Jose.

Amazing experience! If you are in San Jose I highly recommend this place. It is only a few stops from any bus going anywhere! The airport bus stop is only a few blocks away and a 20 minute bus ride. Everything about this hostel is VERY well done. High quality bedding, pillows, towels, soap and the common areas are well appointed. There is an abundance of space in the sleeping quarters and every bed has it's own locker that is large enough to fit a hiking backpack entirely. It is well secured, clean and the receptionists are amazing! They will go out of their way to help with whatever you may need and speak English well. Excellence in every aspect! Very safe location on the middle of the city and restaurants all around and a super market right across the street.

This hostel is exactly was exactly has the other reviewers described. Very clean, modern, and overall a great place to stay. I used this hotel as a place to stay before heading to the airport the next morning. Natalie at the front desk speaks perfect English and made checking in and checking out very easy. They even schedule for a taxi to pick me up the next morning at 4:00am.

Sparkling clean hostel! We got in late at nite and had easy check in. Affordable breakfast in morning. Not sure if they have a kitchen like many hostels. Great location - 5 min walk to pedestrian only street & central market place.

The place was exactly as described. Located in a prime location the apartment was inmaculate clean and very functional stainless steel trough out the kitchen and the loundry room was a plus . I could live there...Helen will do anything in her power to assist you.

The residence has everything one could want: Seclusion, security, convenience, accessibility and hosts who really care and go out of their way to ensure an enjoyable visit.

Awesome stay from beginning to end. Helen was able to arrange a taxi for me at the airport when I arrived. I was greeted by Helen when I checked into the condo. She was very helpful to show me around the place and offered to arrange a activities tour with a local tour company. Unfortunately I did not have time to partake. The Condo - You can tell the whole building is really new. The pictures are exactly on point. Decor is modern. Very nice size for a one bedroom. Location - It's in a really quite area so noise was not an issue. Anytime I needed to get around the front desk was able to call me a taxi. It cost me no more than 3mil colones($6) to get anywhere I needed around SJ. I would recommend this listing to anyone and I plan on staying in the future. Thanks again Helen!

Helen's apartment was the perfect place for me to stay during my trip to San Jose. The pictures don't do her apartment justice, beautiful and centrally located. She has all the luxuries of modern living to give you that hotel feeling with a bit more intimacy and quietness. Helen's kitchen is fully prepped to cook, but if you'd rather eat out its close to Soda Tapia a 24hr local joint and plenty of convince stores including one just downstairs that's open 6 am-9pm. There's a laundry room, walk in closet with everything you need to get organized and a balcony in her living room for a nice breezy. Her wifi is speedy and she's even got an Apple TV installed in the living room which let me play music while I was getting ready. Her apartment is in such a good location that I walked most of my stay and made it to all the museums and tourist locations. It's right next to the Park inn hotel so you know this is a great location for tourists. I took a tour to Arenal and was picked up and dropped off in front of the building. The building itself is something to rave about it has a simple gym, nothing fancy but enough for you to get a light pump in before hitting the beaches. There's also a lap pool, tennis court, friendly door men, friendly neighbors, parking and best of all is the buildings rooftop which offers an impressive 360 view of San Jose. Helen was extremely helpful and easy to get in contact with, she gave me tons of suggestions and followed up consistently to see how my trip was going, I never got to meet her but her brother met me on arrival and showed me everything I needed and gave me lots of suggestions. I truly enjoyed my stay at Helen's apartment I felt like I was at home and even made some friend's in her building. I will most definitely stay in Helen's apartment on my next trip to San Jose.

As always, Helen made the experience fantastic. She is a very caring host. I came back also because the place is exceptionally well located in San Jose. Very recommended.

staying in Helen's apt by far was best experience that i head in costa rica. the apt was clean all in place and on time,and great location in downtown area. the place is furnished with style, making your stay very comfortable. will definitely visit same apt in my next visit to san jose. Thanks Helen

Helen was a great host: the communication was great and key exchange was simple. I was greeted by her brother and given a tour of the apartment which was great. The apartment was exactly as described with new and modern appliances, Wifi, air conditioning, and flat screen TVs made me feel very comfortable and right at home. The location was central to everything I needed, including; public transportation, fresh markets, convenience stores, and restaurants. Personal Touches : Helen has left a "Cheat Sheet" which had numbers for restaurants, tours, medical and local knowledge. Additionally she has a handful of nice souvenirs for those that would like to purchase via the honor system - I enjoyed it because I never had a chance to shop for myself. I love my Imperial Baseball Hat. To top it off she arranged a driver to meet me at the airport outside of customs to take me to the apartment. The same gentleman picked me up for my return flight. This detail was excellent and took any stress away. Helen really goes out of her way to make sure your stay is outstanding. I highly recommend staying at her home.

Beautiful, clean place with secure parking for a rental car.

Agréablement surpris par cet endroit calme et confortable à quelques mètres du centre ville. Très bon rapport qualité prix et correspond parfaitement à la description. Nous recommandons ce logement. Merci Masha

Very clean place, nice cozy room. Didn't get a chance to meet Masha but the lady that cleans the place was very friendly. I usually stay with Marriott's but this was a sort of last minute trip and for the price I paid was a nice, clean place. Anyone who's not satisfied should consider upping their price point. Masha sounded very friendly and helpful over the phone the two or three times that we got to talk. Once again, I would like to thank Masha for letting me stay in her place. Thanks

I sincerely loved this private room. It was very easy to get to the house. The house is near a main street that has plenty of restaurants and bars. The check in was quick. I did not have to wait at all. The room had everything I needed. It was clean and very quiet. The bed was soooo soft! Masha is such a caring host. When I met her, she kindly offered me some fruit and we conversed for a solid hour. I loved my stay and I definitely recommend Masha's White room for a single or two people.

At the end of our stay in Costa Rica we needed to spend 2 nights in San Jose, we wanted a clean, convenient and easy access to the airport while being close to the museums and the old district. Masha's place was perfect for that. Masha was a great hostess she gave us a map, suggestions. I had a flight at 6:00 am and she made sure we had breakfast before. She was very flexible to accommodate to our travel plans and responded swiftly.

Masha was incredibly accommodating! She made it so easy to find the apartment and gave very clear instructions on how to access our room. We loved the room! It was clean and very secure!

My boyfriend and I traveled around Costa Rica for 10 days and we spent our last night in San Jose at Masha's B & B. The B & B was beautiful! It was clean, safe, and had felt quite elegant. Although Masha was away from San Jose during our stay, there was a welcome packet waiting for us when we arrived. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

Great host! Always kind and available in letting us feel comfortable. The location is not too far from the center, just a 10 minutes walk. Rooms are clean and neat. Highly recommended for a stay in San José before departing to discover this wonderful country.

The place is exactly like the pictures...beautiful! The room is large and the bathroom glorious. The house is new and the place spotless. There is little noise also. The internet is weak inside of the room but no problems in the courtyard outside it or anywhere else in the place. Sadly we didn't meet Masha as she was travelling but we did meet the cleaner who was lovely and Masha's friend, Katharine, who came on the first night to ensure we were OK and had everything we needed. She also gave us her contact details if we needed anything. It was weird being in a large house by ourselves as there were no other guests when we were there...perfect if you want your own space, but for us, we like someone around and the ability to retreat to our room when we want too. That's personal preference and would have been different story again if there were other guests in the house when we were. Masha was great to contact before we arrived and emailed promptly. The location is about 30mins walk to the main shopping area and there are plenty of restaurants around. We had no problems in the area. It is definitely a recommended place to stay in San Jose and we would stay again. Masha thanks for the help with the safe and for letting us stay. :)

This place is beautiful! Exactly what it looks like in the pictures. Beautiful complex with security and in a good neighborhood. Really close to everything; downtown and the airport and markets. I loved that the kitchen was fully equipped. Ana was so helpful recommending restaurants and places. She kept in contact with me through out my stay. it felt really at home! Thank you Ana!

Ana, helped all along the way from providing a contact for airport pickup, my flight arrive at 12 am her contact picked me up and took me to the condo I didn't have to provide any direction, supurb! The next day she greeted me and took me to a near by grocery store and introduced me to the area. She checked two more times to see if everything was going well. At check she came by to say by and do final walk through. The space was well lit and just as nice as pictured the landscape was more amazing the the pictures and the sound of the streams was like have a ocean near by. The security on the property was polite and present each time we entered and left the property. The pool area was clean and peaceful. I enjoyed my stay.
