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!!!
