Great apartment gem in San Jose's best neighborhood
Fantastic apartment; fully stocked; close to everything with an amazing host! Kendra provides great communication and makes youir transition to Costa Rica seamless. She even provided a driver from the airport, Jose , a Costa Rican native who can also take you on private tours of the country that both Kendra and Jose are both obviously passionate about.

A great Escalante base camp!
This was a very nice studio unit in the Escalante district; it was clean, nicely appointed, and met all of my needs. It was especially great because I was looking for a home base for a snap four-day trip to San Jose - my goal was to have a central location for intense walking tours of the downtown and its cultural sites as well as ready access to the Escalante restaurant district, which is out of this world!
