There was only one restaurant nearby. Nobody spoke English and I speak very little Spanish. Alonso took me to the restaurant the first night and helped me select a dinner.

The apartment had a kitchen so I could do my own breakfast. That was good as the restaurant was not open for breakfast.

The owner is super super nice and organized uber to the airport because he was on vacation. It is in a safe neighborhood and even walking alone wasn‘t scary 👍 Everything you need to cook is there and also towels were provided. Also two TVs with netflix for a calm evening are installed.

The only thing i have to say is that on the pictures it looks a lot bigger. But for 2 people it is completely enough.

The kitchen with its utensils, comfortable bed and high quality personal attention

It was quiet, walking distance to a small mall, nice restaurant just down the street, and a small grocery store close by

I love everything in Costa Rica. This Apartment is a budget friendly and the location is just less than 15min from the airport. The host gives you free pick up and drop off to the airport. I was travelling alone and Alonso made sure that I am comfortable and safe. He showed me and accompanied me to the best places you can visit in the country. I felt safe and secured, Alonso was so fun to be with. He is an ALL in 1 host, just let him know what you need and he'll provide it for you! Gracias Alonso! 🙂

Excellent host, Alonso. Willing to drive you where needed. Very affordable, clean and reasonably equipped apartment with kitchen and washing machine. walking distance to the city centre in daytime if you’re ok for a couple of good hills. small grocery store one block away.

Classic Costa Rican extra extra firm bed/pillows (not good for soft northern bodies); we needed the fold out couch for our teen son and it was less than great (2 section are foam and one is hard board)- it needs a foam topper.

Alonso was exceptionally acomodating. He has great communication skills and made sure I enjoyed my stay. The neighborhood is quiet and I felt safe there.

I couldn't make sense of the bus lines but Alonso gave me rides to where I wanted to go so it was quite nice.

Alonzo and his family are very warm friendly and helpful. The apartment is very comfortable and convenient. Whenever I come to Costa Rica/Alajuela this will be my first choice if it is available! Alonzo was quick to make recommendations and find out information for us and also to offer to take us with his own car. The second day I asked him if he knew where I could find a few semi obscure medical items- next thing I know he's at the door taking me to the aesthetics place to get vitamin C IV and the next day drove all around to find one chinese tea and another medicine I was looking for- even got me right in to see a doc to get a script for it when we found out it was by prescription only. Then we had sushi for lunch at a place that actually knows how to do it well (my previous experiences w sushi in CR had me wary but this place was great!) All in all I highly recommend staying here.

Part of the electric went out one morning but Alonzo came over right away and found out it was a problem with the meter at the pole and it was back on very quickly.
