Emilia's place is a fantastic home located in the center of an urban block. The home itself is very spacious, modern, and comes with excellent amenities. We had a terrific stay at this location and took advantage of its proximity to the cities of Heredia and San Jose. It was also a nice 'jumping off' place to get to the airport in less than half an hour. We were using a rental car, but the area is well serviced by public transportation. There are a number of restaurants and small shops within easy walking distance of the home.

Emilia is a great host, very helpful. Communication was fast and the house is great! Very clean, nice and bright! Looking forward to staying there again soon.

A very unique home in San Rafael! Lovely garden perfect home away from home to relax

We loved this house. My husband is from Costa Rica and I lived there for a while and I can say this was the nicest house we've stayed at. We loved the natural light allowed by all the windows, the spacious living areas, the comfortable beds and linens, the yard, the modern and tasteful bathrooms, cable TV and the location. Marta and her husband were very helpful and kind as well. We would love to stay there again next time we travel to CR.

The house is very nice, with everything you need to spend a few days. Nearby you find shops and restaurants. Martha Emilia and very friendly. A half hour from the airport and downtown San Jose.

This house is even more beautiful in person! Emilia and her family were wonderful hosts. She was quick to reply to my messages and they are truly nice people. The neighborhood is nice and we felt safe and enjoyed walking around town.

Beautiful home in the central area of Costa Rica, allowing for trips to various parts of the country.

Emilia's place was very nice. It's a gorgeous home, cozy, and perfect for our family of 6. One of our kids slept on the ample couch and the other on a comfortable extra mattress in the tv room. The queen and twin beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need for cooking for our family. We only wish the weather had been a bit warmer so we could have enjoyed the two nice patio areas. The only two drawbacks were that there was no dryer, (the washer came in handy) and the parking space was snug for our large Rental SUV.

I enjoyed my short stay at the home of Jeannette and Antonio, as they were were outstanding for my welfare at all times. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet, the room is comfortable and clean, surrounded by a natural environment and beautiful vistas.Fui received with great kindness with my two dogs traveling conmigo.Cualquier thing you need during your stay in this accommodation, be assured that Jeannette and Antonio will do everything in their power to help. The garden has fruit trees and the hosts provide you handsomely paid off, plus a rich breakfast not only enjoy myself, but also my dogs who could walk freely around the garden, having also their space in the room, which is a good reason for choosing this accommodation when traveling with dogs. Without a doubt, if you need to travel to St. Joseph or surroundings would choose the home of Jeannette and Antonio, as it is located in a quiet area very close to the airport and the capital., But especially for its warm and close attention me and my dogs. I was pleasantly grateful to Jeannette and Antonio for their tremendous hospitality, whom I've not only good experience but also a new friendship.

I'm REALLY glad that we stayed at Luis House. It is a beautiful, clean and private room (with a private entrance), and Luis and her mother are the best hosts ever! I think staying with them is exactly what an Airbnb experience is supposed to be. He was very supportive from the beginning, offering options of what to do in Costa Rica and her mother even invited us to have breakfast at her house on our first day on the country. Luis gave us all the information we needed to get to his house and he even went with us the next morning to take us closer to the Volcán Poás. I highly recommend his place and of course I could stay there again!

This airbnb is perfect for a stay in Heredia. Luis is very good with communicating and his mother is extremely helpful and kind. I 100% recommend a stay with Luis!

Luis was very helpful and attentive. He helped us find the way. His place was very comfortable and within range to shops. We had a wonderful time at Luis's place. We also enjoyed the home-made snacks from Luis's family, that was very nice of them.

Really very grateful for the attention at all times, all excellent (Privacy, Security, Peace). Grateful for the attention of his mother Mireya (yummy bread I cook us) 100% recommended.

This private 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment was perfect for our adult son and us. It's the corner of the home where the host couple lives; walled-off from the rest of the house so you have privacy yet the hosts are just a phone call or door knock away in the same building. And they're wonderful hosts, attentive, caring, warm ...a mom/dad team who spoke Spanish, and their adult son who speaks great English. Mireya, the mom, had delicious homemade whole-grain loaves of bread and cookies waiting for us in our room. As well as coffee and teas...and pitcher of cold drinking water in the mini-fridge. The studio apt was very clean, good ventilation (windows in bathroom and bedroom), and secure. Tall wrought-iron fencing around entire property enclosing garden space, with keyed garden gate as well as front door, and garden light. We had access to owners' nice garage to park our rental car in. The mom was available to ask any questions of..tourist advice, and we also had some good, deeper conversations on comparing our two cultures, life, etc. She spoke slowly enough for me to process the Spanish, and her totally fluent son was available as well. They took us to El Castillo Club, where they're members. Its restaurant balcony has a great panoramic view, there's an ice rink, huge pool, workout rooms, espresso bar, garden paths. From our apartment, we had fun walking the 5 minutes to good local eateries, bars, stores, the farmers' market. San Rafael de Heredia is a nice, smaller community about 5 minutes by car from the larger city of Heredia, where several universities are. We were scoping it all out for our daughter who'll be attending college there soon, and we feel really good about everything after spending time in San Rafael at Luis Angel's apartment, getting to know his wonderful family and other nice locals at our favorite organic cafe/shop El Mercadito, and a local bar, Tite, with a good dance floor and friendly regulars who showed us basic swing criollo and cumbia steps :) and the artful/delicious eatery, La Cocina de Tita, where the husband/wife took time to sit and chat with us. We enjoyed our time at Luis Angel's place and look forward to another visit!

Hello friends tell you that our stay with Luis and his family was really wonderful, Luis and his parents are very friendly and super willing to make you spend a nice time in this lindisima and strategic city of San Rafael de Heredia people, room very comfortable, secure optimal cleaning departe Mrs. Mirella, the only situation not great but passable is the street noise.

We absolutely recommended this place to stay as many days as you need. Mireya is an excellent host that gave us a warm welcome and made sure we felt like home during our stay. And even recommended us some touristic places to visit. The place is as shown, bed and pillows are super comfortable which is one of the most important things for us. There are several restaurants within the area but our favorite was Katuay. Give it a try and you won't regret it.

Luis place is amazing! The flat has it's own entrance, is modernly furnished, very clean and has a great comortable bed. Luis is also a great host! He was very helpful and gave as a lot of info when we went to San Jose for the day. His mum evene made us breakfast one day and Luis took us on a day long trip to show us the area. 100% recommended!

The owners of the room were very friendly with us and had a lot of patience for us because we arrived very late at night. In the morning we were taken to the village. The room was wonderful in all very clean and modern look. I recommend it to everyone if they want a place soledo.

First I just want to thank Robert for his hospitality. He was really friendly and flexible with the check in. He welcomed use with a great smile, recommended great places to visit and provide breakfast items that came in handy the next morning. the house is just wonderful and I'm 100% sure next time we visit Costa Rica I'm staying with Robert again. Costa Rica is a great, wonderful, magical place full with beautiful beaches and nature. The house is near the SJO airport and very accessible to travel to volcan Poas, Irazu, Puntarenas and my favorite Manuel Antonio. Again Robert, thank you very much.

This was a great listing. Robert was very flexible and communication was excellent. The space was perfect for my husband and I and there was everything we needed to have a wonderful vacation. The neighbourhood had some really great stores nearby and some very nice places to grab a night to eat. A very lovely experience. I highly recommend this listings for a couple who wants to be in the local scene of Costa Rica.

Robert's Vacation-Rental Condo is a warm & cozy unit with numerous modern touches and very useful features in each room. We definitely appreciated the new kitchen appliances,the in-unit washer & dryer and numerous other modern & useful housewares & decorative touches. Robert was always available to us when we needed to ask his advice about the area and some of the community services. We felt very relaxed and at-home in the condo and also regarded Robert as an easy to talk to and reachable Host. He speaks English,as well as Spanish of course,and that was a definite bonus when we needed his input. As a Host,Robert is a very good Airbnb Ambassador and we've already spread the word about him to our friends & family who are also eager to travel and stay in the Central Valley for some of the time that they're going to vacation in Costa Rica. Thanks,Robert,for your help and patience while we were searching for the best arrangement for our family situation and for all your advice and friendliness. And I guess my last comment could be a thank you to the very friendly & helpful neighbour next door who befriended us & made us feel so welcome... and to the Señora who works for Robert each week...she's a wonderful lady who treated us to a super clean apartment once a week and spoiled us for the entire 3 & a half months we were (URL HIDDEN) definitely a bonus feature of this rental. Gracias,Robert !!!

Awesome, clean, and spacious location. Would recommend to anyone. Communication was excellent

Robert is an excellent host. From the beginning we were contacted and informed me about everything perfectly. During my stay we were always in touch. The apartment is excellent - everything perfect. Thank you very much for everything!

If you are looking for a really excellent and perfect stay in Heredia/San José, then book Roberts apartment. The apartment is excellent located and I enjoyed my stay very much. You can find everything you need and if you have questions, Robert is a perfect host. You are absolutely in the best hands. You will be delighted - Next time I will come back again! Thank you very much, Robert!

My trip started out with a canceled flight due to volcanic ash after one of the volcanoes erupted. Rearrangements needed to be made and Robert was able to help me out when I was in a pinch. Awesome place to set up shop, close enough to the city without being in the noise - Throughout my month of travels in Costa Rica, Robert was the most helpful host.

We had a fantastic stay in Robert's casita (13 nights). Robert was very helpful and welcoming. All the equipment was clean and well maintained. The location was perfect, away from the main road but close enough to San Jose to make the most of it. Very up-to-date TV equipment with a lot of channels and a perfect internet connection, which was very helpful for us. Overall 5 out of 5 for this Airbnb!

Everything about our stay was awesome. Walter was extremely helpfull with helping us find the place. the apartment was brand new, private and very safe with evetthingg you need from kitchen supplies to towels etc. When we arrived we were greeted with ice cold water melon juice, and as i was traveling with my girlfriend walter was even kind enough to leave a bottlenof wine and chease in the living room. place is great! host is great! cant recomend him enough!!

Walter was an amazing host. The apartment was fantastic and very beautiful. If ever in Heredia you should stay with Walter. He was kind and helped us find food during our stay. I would highly recommend staying with him!!!

Walter was so kind to us and the place was amazing!

We were blown away by Walter and his beautiful apartment this weekend. The apartment had everything we could need, including laundry facilities, a full kitchen, linens, etc. Parking was provided in a locked garage--very safe. Wifi was great. Several channels in English. 2 tvs. It was very clean and comfortable. More than that, Walter was the best host ever. He went out of his way and beyond to make sure not only that we were comfortable in his apartment, but that we enjoyed our stay in Costa Rica. He asked us about dinner, and personally called in an order for us and accompanied my husband to walk to the restaurant to pick it up (3 blocks away--great food!). He discovered my husband has a deep interest in local fruits, so the next day he drove my husband to the farmers market and showed him around the rare and exotic fruits there--making sure he picked good specimens, and showing him how to eat them. He was always there to help with advice, directions, etc. His enthusiasm for Costa Rica and his commitment to being a consummate host was felt every minute. Thank you Walter!

This apartment is in a nice, peaceful location. Walter is a great host.

Walter's house was perfectly clean and plenty large for the 2 of us. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. There's a great grocery store within 3 or 4 blocks and there were enough kitchen utensils to adequately cook lunch and dinner. I look forward to staying at Walter's again.

Walter was a great host. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Walter recommended a great restaurant and brought us fresh baked bread in the morning! He also had some delicious tropical fruit juice that he had made for us. We loved Walter!

The apartment was beautiful and very clean, with lovely fresh flowers so we had everything we needed for our stay in Heredia. Walter, the owner, was very kind and helpful and let us park in the garage so the car was safe. His English was superb, and he was very thoughtful to leave some delicious provisions in the kitchen so we had no need to go out shopping. The garden area at the garage had hummingbirds visit so was an added bonus. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this place to stay if you need to be in this area.

My cozy place with a great view, the department provides all the amenities for an excellent stay. Highly recommended. Alvaro treated us like family. It was a great trip. Thank you for your advice and company in this adventure.

Very beautiful view from the house over San Rafael and San Jose. Host is welcoming and speaks good English. Definately recommended!

Everything as stated in the announcement.

I had a very nice stay at Alvaro (URL HIDDEN) was clean, comfortable, and had a convenient location.I also appreciated that he was always available to assist... I would be glad to stay at Alvaro's home again the next time I'm in San Jose CR.

I stayed two days and the experience was more than amazing, my girlfriend and I really liked Fernando's place and we are sure we're going to be back. The place is in San Rafael de Heredia, but not downtown, it is far away from the noise, smoke, everything that is in the city and has a beautiful view. I really recommend this place because Fernando is a great host, the place is new, quite, very clean and fully secure.

This is a wonderful apartment to stay in. It is close to Heredia and the gardens are very beautiful. I would definitely stay again!

it's very good appartment with a beautiful view. it has all you need. it's a quite place and it's in the center of the town. Rossy is a very friendly host. we recommend it!

Great place great price, great location, friendly people and warm

Excellent place to stay with beautiful views and a great host!

I was surprised it was better than the pictures, very quite and has armed guards at the gate and great security features in the building. I felt very comfortable there. I had a great view and the location was perfect for me. I used Uber exclusively and got around very easily without knowing any spanish

Excellent place

As described; very nice, spacious and clean. Accessible and close to everything you need.

Very safe. Guards at gate. Very modern.

The place is as advertised: clean, safe and very well located. We were very happy with the stay in Altos de Palermo, the comuciacion always good and very friendly. We just loved the place. Q recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to stay. Thank you very much Daniela.

Great apartment, very safe and secure area close to Heredia downtown. We also stayed at Daniela's other apartment a floor below and it was also very nice and clean. Highly recommended for a place to stay near Heredia.

This room, although basic, is great value for money in Costa Rica. Marion is a fantastic host- quick replies and she gave me so much information about how to find the house and things to do etc. The location is perfect as its close to shops, banks and the main square. The only negatives would be that some of the common areas like the kithen could be cleaner. Also, the walls are very thin and the upstairs neighbour is pretty noisy !

The host canceled this reservation 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Marion, Pablo and their Mom are wonderful hosts. They were in the house to welcome us and also had arranged for breakfast. The house is nice and in a good locality. The room is nice and clean. Recommended for a pleasant stay!

Marion's guesthouse is very nice. It is close from San Jose (approximatly 20 minutes of bus) and the bus is really easy to use and is cheap. There are some really cool bar to go to watch a soccer game. But there some negative point too. In fact, the room was really not soudproof, so we could listen everything from the other rooms. Also, we had difficulties to find Marion's house. But in general, it was really great, thank you a lot

When we arrived, Marion and her family were already there to welcome us. They made us feel comfortable. The house is good and the room was very clean. She even had arranged for some coffee and breakfast for us. They even told us which all places should we visit and gave us some information about these places. The locality is very good with a supermarket and lots of restaurants nearby. The students living in the house are good to talk and very friendly. We had a good week long stay here. Thanks to Marion, Pablo and their mother.

Was a nice place, big bed and lots of room. Nice people. In a very good place of heredia, easy to get any where. I had a road side room so was a little loud in the mornings, but I'm a heavy sleeper so didn't really bother me..

marion is a very nice personne, very available...the house is well-located and the room was great. thank yiu for everything

The host canceled this reservation 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The Appartement was exactly as described and Raquel was very nice and helpful. I would stay at their place again.

It was very beautiful, we are very happy with the experience :)
