We enjoyed the apartment so much that we ended up extending our stay for one extra night. Adrian was very welcoming and efficient when I arrived. Then Olga was extremely caring and friendly for the rest of our stay. Both of them gave us lots of tips and helped us with transportation to interesting places and the airport. We found the flat cozy and very clean with lots of attention to detail. It contains everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. The location is quiet in a residential area, but close to Alajuela center.

Jeannette is a very friendly and welcoming host. Really nice and clean place with very good value for money. Easy connection to the airport by car, taxi or public bus. Right in the center of Alajuela and yet very quiet. I arrived a few hours before check-in time but that wasn't an issue at all.

A very nice tiny Hostel with great staff. Perfect for the arrival or pre-departure night. I had a single room which had a very nice interior. The breakfast was typical Costa Rican. I will come again :)

    Location was good, close to airport- a cheap Uber ride for less than $4 to the airport was helpful. The late overnight staff member (after 10pm) was nice and friendly, as were the morning female staff members... this was in stark contrast to the guy who checked us in on arrival. The staff at the parking lot a block away were friendly and easy going. The balcony was cute and you can see the mountains in the distance.

    hostess was amazing. she went above and beyond in helping me with many heavy pieces of luggage as I am disabled with back injuries. she prepared food to my preference (vegan) and offered to cook more. the room was adequate, quiet and clean. the bathroom was spotless, the shower had good water pressure and was hot. the location is great to get to the airport and the price is very affordable.

    Great location close to airport and is quieter than staying in San Jose. Very clean and lovely common sitting area and courtyard as well as kitchen with coffee and breakfast available all day. Easy and cheap to get bus into San Jose and they will arrange shuttle to airport etc. very helpful and quick to reply. Lots of good restaurants, ice cream parlours and bars close by.
