The host was amazing! He reached out early with plenty of information and asked if we needed anything for our stay. He even let us use his garage that he keeps his personal car in. The host was very friendly and made everything simple. The property was very nice and clean. The area seemed a bit sketchy at first, but ended up by less than a mile away from everything you could want. 100% recommend booking here

Convenient and Clean and Affordable
The apartment was as advertised and the owners were very communicative and helpful. Loved the fact that we could walk to just about anywhere downtown (made trips to Escalante, Central Market area, San Pedro Mall...and the Zoo is literally next door. We paid to visit in the morning and they let us go back in that afternoon without paying. Only "issues" we had was no AC (bedroom ceiling fan)and my 1st world comforts spouse had issues with throwing TP in the waste receptacle rather than flushing. Would stay here again for the location and the price!!!

The manager, Juan Carlos is extremely helpful. He arranged a driver to pick us up. He actually ended up meeting us at the apartment after very good directions on opening the location. Later we rented a car, use Adobe, saved us 1000 dollars. A Costa Rican owner company. Mr. Carlos got us a secure parking area for a very reasonable price After we had been gone a number of days he contacted me to make sure things were going well on our visit and to let us know if we have any difficulties to contact him for help.

Lovely, quiet place
I rented this apartment for 2 weeks while having dental work. Stayed alone for the first week and was joined by my daughter and granddaughter for the second. This place was perfect for our needs. Bed was comfortable and the fold-out sofa wan't bad. The patio was perfect for morning sun. But the very best part of this stay was the property manager who was responsive to my questions, had great recommendations for things to do, and made driver arrangements for out of town travel. Would surely stay here again!!!

Fabulous Stay in this Wonderful Apartment!
Great location on a quiet street ... close to lots of great restaurants, parks, museums and great places to just walk and take in the sights. The apartment had everything we needed - comfortable bed, nicely appointed kitchen & bath - and a nice little patio to sit in the sun. Mauricio was great to work with - he checked in on us and answered any question we had when we emailed him. Would absolutely stay here again!

Good furnishings and great host.
We were only in the city for 4 nights but this place was comfortable immediately. We really felt at home. Even though the place is small, we had everything we needed and it has nice furnishings. This is a good value rental. We thought the neighborhood might be noisy but it was actually quiet. We had a few animal noises from the zoo in the morning which was actually quite fun. Mauricio was so kind and helpful. He suggested some places to visit that fit our requests and was very very prompt with all of his responses. One of the umbrellas in the room was broken and he had a new one for us the very next day. We strongly suggest you consider his rooms for your next stay. Thank you Mauricio. Cheers!

AWESOME
Knowing San Jose I was a bit hesitant at first staying so close to the central. However as I. approach the apartment I fell in love. What a great place. Quiet. Safe. And so close to everything. Mauricio. Was a great host. I never saw him unless I needed something. If your staying in San Jose. For a period of time. This is the best place hands down. And I lived here for 3 years. Bravo

Walkability to town and bakery and hiking trails! All was great with the home. The only downside was having to do our bedsheets and towel laundry before we left. An unusual request for the price of the VRBO.

Great place to stay in San Jose
We stayed here for a week, and really enjoyed this apartment. It is well located close to the downtown and to supermarkets, and in a neighborhood (Barrio Amon) that is nice, has good restaurants, and other things to do. The apartment is super-clean, modern, and had everything we needed to relax and to eat in when we wanted. It was quiet. Wifi was fast and reliable. Mauricio communicated in a timely way, was helpful in making sure we had what we needed, and he let us know about special events that were happening in the neighborhood. we would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful apartment with modern amenities. Very close to all sites and sounds of downtown San Jose.
My experience was beyond wonderful. Mauricio was a huge help for all I needed. He even checked in on me one night to make sure my stay was proper. Everything I needed was provided and I could not have asked for a better place to stay. The property is very secure, with modern amenities the neighborhood was safe and beautiful to wander around with easy access to many different activities in the area. I highly recommend staying here!!!
