Heel schoon en een super gastvrije en behulpzame eigenaresse. Er hangt een fijne en veilige sfeer in het gebouw, het bed is heerlijk (ook even Netflixen is soms heerlijk) Er is ook een hele complete keuken die je kan gebruiken.
De locatie is op loopafstand van de hotspots in San José

The bed was amazingly comfortable & there was netflix to watch on the flat screen TV. The staff were also really nice. Location was good, close to the Tracopa bus station. It was also very clean.
It was a bit noisy from the street traffic & from guests who arrived late in the next room.

Très grande gentillesse de Mayela. Elle nous reçoit comme à la maison. Chambre confortable , bonne literie. Pour le petit déjeuner tout est à disposition dont nombre de fruits frais. À recommander chaudement.

I liked the Victorian architecture, the safe entrance, my host was very knowledgeable and helpful about where to go in Costa Rica. I appreciate the clean room, fan, hot water, nice shower, and good smells.
I would like to learn Spanish fluently so that I can fully appreciate the hosts kindness and hospitality.

Sehr sauber, sehr bequemes Bett und eine wirklich liebenswürdige Gastgeberin. Im Innenhof waren Palmen und kleine Vögel flogen ein und aus. Ca. 10 Minuten Gehdistanz vom Busbahnhof.
Bei der Ankunft hat mir die Gegend nicht gefallen, am nächsten Tag fühlte ich mich jefoch sicher dort.

What a beautiful property with a beautiful owner. Mayela takes pride and works hard to keep her place perfect for her guests. She is warm and welcoming and super accommodating. We would highly recommend staying here.

Mayela is the kindest host you could hope to have. She walked me to a close local restaurant when I arrived as it was dark and the area is a bit sketchy at night - I walked back on my own, though! She also got up at 5 am. to wait with me for the shuttle and called them when they were late arriving.
Easy to walk all.over San Jose centre - maybe 10 mins away.
The coffee she provides is fantastic and if you want to you can use the kitchen. The bed was also really comfortable.
Just note that the gates are locked but there is a doorbell to the left - marked doorbell - but I didn't notice that!
The room I had was off a central courtyard and didn't have a window so it was difficult to know what was happening with the weather. There are skylights in the bathroom which brings light in.

the owner was so very kind and welcoming .
We had arrived early and she let us have the room very early and on our day of departure we had a problem with our transport so she allowed us to keep our bags there and then let us come back and wait at the hotel even after 2 pm . exceptional

The Casa itself is a grand old house with a beautiful and bright central courtyard. My room was spacious and comfortable. It had a large smart tv with access to Netflix. Mayela is super nice and welcoming. She is extremely kind and thoughtful. Finally, the Casa has a very nice, bright, and large kitchen where you feel right at home making and eating breakfast.
I have not lived in a city in a long time so I had trouble sleeping because of the various noises. If you are sensitive to noise, bring earplugs.

very pleasant and nice lady host.
beautiful house and very clean room.
location wise, we need to catch the early morning bus. we can walk from this Casa to the bus terminal.
This casa is located at a crossroads. the house faces two fairly busy roads on both sides, so the traffic notice is quite annoying. But the sound of passing vehicles on the road is only one aspect, and what is even more frightening is that there might be a problem with the foundation of the house. our room was the one opposite the reception. it’s the outmost room. Every time a truck or a larger car passed by, our room was shaken, our bed was shaken, the half glass of water on the table would be shaken…… There are very few vehicles after middle of the night, but starting at 5am in the morning, the vibration and noise caused by the vehicles woke me up before 5.

A beautiful gem in San Jose! You would not imagine what is inside from the street, the place feels so tranquil and cool. Once inside we had the most friendly welcome from a really lovely lady. Despite there being a bit of a language barrier, we were given lots of recommendations for places to eat and were made to feel at home. The room itself was very comfortable and we felt very safe staying there. The hotel is just a short walk from the Tracopa bus station and central San Jose.

Short walk to the Tracopa bus station, which was perfect for catching that 5am bus. Close to San Jose's Mercado Central and lots of restaurants, etc. The lady who checked me in was incredibly kind, and used Google translate to explain that there's usually a girl who speaks English but she wasn't there that day. There's a nice big kitchen which I didn't use, and an attractive sitting area.
My only real complaint was that the light in my bedroom was an awful bright white/blue that felt like the opposite of homey. I don't know enough about lights to know if it was florescent or what, but it wasn't very pleasant.

We loved staying one night at Casa Mayela. Mayela is so lovely and helped us practice our Spanish. We were transiting through San José, this property is very well located if you are taking a bus from the Tracopa station.

we took the bus from the airport and walked about 1.8 km to the accommodation. The next day we walked 500m to the bus terminal. really great. Very close.
The outside doesn't give an idea of how beautiful it is inside.
We arrived at 9pm and the gate was closed. No bell. No sign that showed us that we are right. They phoned for us in the restaurant across the street. Then someone came from the hotel and picked us up. Without the call we would have been lost.

perfectly situated for the Tracopa bus station (7 mins walk), which we wanted for a bus the following morning. Some good snack bars 3 mins walk away. The owner was so friendly and helpful.

The location was perfect, many good restaurants nearby. The main shopping street was close to the guest house too!
Sound isolation could be better, we could hear other guests coming back to the guest house at night. Also, the water in the shower is warm but not hot (pretty normal in Costa Rica).

Quiet,clean, fast replies, excellent host., was close to what I needed , spacious high ceilings in this dated structure.
The neighborhood is sketchy, needs better identification and was a bit hard to find.
