The property features garden and city views, and is 5.4 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

Lovely place!! We booked the 101 Apartment for 1 night and everything was great. The building is very well maintained and beautiful, check-in instructions clear (self-check-in) and we also met the host for payment who was super nice. The location is near a bigger street with lots of kiosks and restaurants. Bed is very comfortable and the hot water shower was functioning well. The 101 apartment has a small kitchen corner with a sink, wine glasses etc but no cooking area so be aware of that (other apartments might have it though). I would definitely stay here again as it was a place we felt very comfortable in in San Jose.

Such a beautiful atmosphere in the house, coloured with flowers, the calm breeze through the open windows and smiles all around. Gathering in the morning for a delicious homemade breakfast made with love. The owners were so helpful with every question asked, they made it feel like home. A stay to remember! We extended by a day we were so happy there.

    Best hotel and breakfast during our 5 weeks in Costa Rica!! The house resembles like a lovely decorated private villa. Lourie and her maid Miriam are incredibly helpful, welcoming and inspiring. The rooms are cosy, very clean and elegantly decorated like the rest of the house and the wonderful garden. Plus: the hotel is close to the airport but nevertheless quite and there are many good restaurants within walking distance.
