I had the pleasure of staying at Elena's studio apartment in San Jose, Costa Rica and I must say that she is an incredibly accommodating host. Her residence is absolutely beautiful and provides a comfortable and pleasant stay. One of the highlights of the location is the beautiful park nearby, which offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Additionally, having various food options right downstairs was extremely convenient. I felt very safe in the environment as well, which is always a top priority for me when traveling. The studio apartment is situated in an up-and-coming business district, which adds a vibrant and lively energy to the area. It was exciting to see the growth and development happening around. Although there was a minor issue with missing whiskey glasses upon my arrival, Elena went above and beyond to rectify the situation. She made sure to bring new whiskey glasses for everyone's enjoyment, showing her commitment to providing a wonderful experience for her guests. Overall, I highly recommend Elena's studio apartment for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in San Jose, Costa Rica. Elena's accommodating nature, the beautiful residence, the nearby park, food options, safe environment, and the up-and-coming business district make for a truly wonderful experience.

I would like to thank Elena again for the opportunity to stay here. The flat is clean, functional and safe. Location is very much convenient to explore San Jose. Thanks again Elena. Dmitriy & Nonna

Elena is surly a top notch host who takes pride in her beautiful, very clean, modern, spacious apartment which is located in a prime and, I much say, a very safe location in San Jose City. Everything you need to live like home is provided and everything that you would ever need is within walking distance. We stayed for over a month and felt very comfortable, relax, and was will taken care of by Elena. Couldn’t ask for a better host, apartment or location. Loved it.

Nice, clean and secure apartment with car garage. Neighborhood not so good but you find everything you need at walking distance. Nice pool . Not enough towels. Only 1 for kitchen and 2 for bathroom/pool. If you stay at night in the apartment it is a little dark. Property manager very nice. The apartment is very difficult to find even with waze, we had the police helping us out to find it at night.

Very nice, quiet and comfortable apartment in the city. Neighborhood seemed safe, restaurants and markets close by.

I enjoyed my stay so much, I just reserved another 5+ days here (and hope to extend). The unit is very clean, has plenty of room including living room, dining table, large kitchen with island/stools, and a very comfortable bed - the BR also has a custom-built closet! Great walking neighborhood too - you’re just few blocks away to el supermercado and more. Finally (or firstly?!), I can’t say enough about the owner - check-in instructions are very clear and easy to follow. She is super responsive in messaging, and always willing to help. The front desk - security - are very helpful, especially Leonardo “Leo” who was so kind during my stay. This is a 10 out of Five Stars ⭐️

An excellent place to stay! This was our first VRBO experience and it turned out to be a very good one. The apartment is exactly as pictured. It was clean, well maintained and roomy enough for both my husband and me. We were able to unpack and not have to live out of a suitcase, and not have to worry about strange people coming into your room everyday. Security lets you into the building downstairs, so that made us feel safe, Leo was especially helpful, suggesting places to eat and markets to stock up on supplies. The bedroom was large enough to be comfortable and has a window, the closet is adequate. The bathroom was especially appreciated by my husband as it allowed him to adjust the height of the shower so that he could fit under it (he's over 6 feet). It was really nice to be able to come back to a living room, a fully equipped kitchen and a washer an dryer right there in the apartment. The kitchen is supplied with high end appliances and utensils, a Jcloth, dish soap, dish towel and a full sized fridge and stove. It was also good to be able to open the porch door to allow fresh air to come into the apartment, little things like that that a hotel room does not allow makes an enormous difference in making your stay comfortable. The porch allows views of the mountains on both sides, and the building directly in front. Five to ten minutes walk from the apartment in every direction are restaurants, sodas or cafes, pharmacies, supermarkets, fruit markets, American fast-food chains and even a covid testing clinic (check Google Maps) We did not go out too late at night because the area gets quiet and dark early. We may be on vacation but we are always aware of our personal safety wherever we go. Five minutes walk away is the Paseo Colon, a major business and shopping area which leads right up to the Avenida One pedestrian shopping area, Museums and the Mercado Central where you can get some good food and souvenirs at the best prices. It's a 25 minute walk up to the Avenida but you can easily grab a taxi or bus. Communicating with Elena the property owner was easy and prompt, Elena was willing to address any concerns or questions that we had, she is indeed a premier host. After this experience, we may never stay at a hotel again. We may not have daily housekeeping and you take out your own garbage, but that's a small compromise for the amenities you get to enjoy and the price that you get it at. We would definitely recommend this property!
