Super comfy and clean. Nayu made us feel really welcome, we would have liked to stay longer. Nayu also went out of her way to post some headphones we accidentally left behind on to somewhere we could pick them up.

You are staying with Nayu to stay with a local and experience Fortuna from a less touristy perspective, not at a resort. Other rooms in the house may be occupied with short or long term travelers looking for the same thing. Nayu is a hardworking mother, hotel manager, and Fortuna local opening up her home to outsiders. There is a shared bathroom and separate shared shower, and the home is often active with Nayu's family, friends, and other guests. As a solo guest here I immediately felt welcomed into this world and was genuinely humbled by the hospitality. Nayu is passionate about her guests experiencing all Fortuna/Arenal has to offer and she can recommend and help book experiences, or even discuss local politics on the porch. My experience here was enlightening and I would highly recommend spending time here if discovering local culture is just as important to you as ziplining. You can walk downtown in less than 10 minutes, the neighborhood is safe.

Bugs are a fact of life in the tropical jungle, but a local house like this without AC will get you even closer than you may be used to. Get comfortable with that and you'll have an amazing time here.

Nayu is an amazing person, wonderful host and incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about all the tours and attractions in and around La Fortuna. I feel so lucky to have found this place. Staying with Nayu you feel so welcome and can ask any questions about La Fortuna - she knows everything! Nayu also knows personally many of the tours and guides in the area and can help you have the best experience. Her place is lovely, homely, clean and comfortable. You can do your washing and cook there if you like. Nayu and I sometimes shared meals together which was so lovely. We became real friends and I extended my stay. Travelling solo this was a great opportunity to spend time with a beautiful tico family. The house is in a peaceful neighbourhood called Barrio Pilo. It's close to a supermarket and about 10-15 minute walk from town. I much preferred the location out of town away from the hustle of central town. Thank you for everything, Nayu and Arrón! Love you guys! 💕

I loved everything and will be back as soon as possible!

I really enjoyed my stay with Nayu, although I booked it very last minute she was incredibly accomodating and really made me feel at home in her lovely house. I slept really well - comfortable bed and very quiet. Thank you!

- the host - well equipped kitchen - quality to price ratio

- a bit far away from town - extremely hot at nights, AC would be a great improvement

We had a great time here.

The host was so helpful and friendly. She really makes you feel at home and she can help with local tour in Arenal / La Fortuna The property is in a very quiet area, but still walking distance to the centre . Bed was comfortable and the room was a good size and overlooking the back garden. Breakfast was very good .
