Joano·5·Dec. 2025· "From the very first moment of the reservation, Gustavo was the most attentive and helpful person in the world! The reception was impeccable, unique details, the place feels like you're at home. Truly, it offers a human warmth and space that makes you want to come back! The location is ideal for getting to know the city, and the perfect stopover to access both coasts of the country."

Antonio·5·Jun. 2026· "It's located in the center of the city and nearby lots of places and restaurants and bars. Currently the street is under construction, but Andy was good to communicate that before time and even waited for me to find the place. His place was good on value of money and his a good host, offers lots of tips, also his pets are friendly as well. If you want authentic tico living, I recommend it."

Dave & Pat·5·Aug. 2025· "I cannot say enough about this property... The owner and staff are so accommodating and friendly. The Victorian has been open about a year and is finding its way to the LGBTQ community. Its a welcoming, safe and secure environment. The rooms are pretty standard with everything you need. The 2 course cooked breakfast each morning will keep you going all day! They were helpful in securing a shuttle to the Cloud Forest. UBER is your best option from the airport. You can't go wrong."

Don·5·Mar. 2023· "I had a great 4 night stay at Sergio's condo. The location is awesome. Easy walking distance to hundreds of restaurants and bars and a short Uber ride to the heart of the city. The apartment is clean and spacious and has a beautiful view of the city and mountains. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure was excellent. Communication with Sergio was easy. He responded quickly and had great recommendations. I would definitely stay here again."
