    Edward was a lovely host, extremely helpful and always responded quickly to messages. He was so helpful and friendly. He arranged our transfers to and from the airport, which is only a few minutes car ride. The property was very clean and equipped with everything that you would need (air con, microwave, kettle, fridge/freezer). The beds were comfy and facilities were brilliant. We wished we could have stayed longer.

    We liked the quiet residential location where the sound of aircraft from the airport was not intrusive and the chance to love amongst san jose locals. Patricia was an excellent host and picked us up from the airport. She cooked a great breakfast.

    What a Lovely place. A perfect first night if you are looking for an authentic and welcoming place near the airport. The place is very charming and you feel like being in a little jungle. The room is spotless clean, very spacious, and well furnished. I loved the decoration and the little attentions in the room for the arrival : sweets on the table and in the kitchen. And finally, Keneth is really a great host, very kind, helpful and attentive. Muchas gracias !

    The perfect stay when you come to San Jose or leave San Jose by flying. Super close to the airport (15 - 20 min drive depending on traffic) with bank, restaurants and a shopping mall near by. A nice locals neighbourhood, we even went to the markt on foot. You’ll feel like home. You’ll have everything you need, even more than enough. The hosts are so nice, helpful and kind, that we just enjoyed being together.

    This is in fact a private home with a few rented apartments and shared patio, kitchen, living room. The home is very well maintained. Breakfast was a sort of self-service with coffee/tea, bread jam, fruit juices available, as well as tableware. It had a definite homey feel to it. Very nice. The entire place was very conducive to meeting other people.
