Complete modern, quiet and safe apartment

JuliaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The house is in a quiet area, with closed garage, large spaces. I go to CR to work and the hotels seem cold. It is an unusual area of tourists, but it is worth handling 15 more minutes and staying in a "house", quiet, with everything you need for everyday life... I'm sure if the hosts allow me to come back on my next trip.

Breathtaking view at Poás Volcano slopes:Casa Lili

RobertRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The home was wonderful. The view is unbelievable. A panoramic view of the valleys and mountains. The lights in the distance at night from the lowlands are dazzling. In daylight the view is surprising. You can see San Jose in the distance. The kitchen was well appointed. The master bedroom was great. Master bath was wonderfully large and well designed. The host had yoga mats and a fantastic deck to use them. The deck has seating and a fire pit. It’s a little chilly at this elevation. Cool feature. Beds were comfortable. We would definitely return!

Amazing view, clean, peaceful, close to SJO Airpt

LaurieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Ana's place was beyond lovely. Clean, elegant, spacious, airy, super thoughtful details from plenty of linens to beautiful blankets draped over chairs to an extremely well-appointed kitchen. The views were amazing and as an added treat, the neighborhood pups were a joy. Ana was always incredibly quick to respond and was very kind in her understanding of two folks visiting from out of the country. Highly recommend!!
