It was a good experience staying at Cando Living. I found the room to be very clean, the staff friendly and helpful.
The location allows walking to restaurants, bars, tourist attractions and experiencing the excitement of San Jose.
I would definitely stay here again.

Agency partner selected by misterb&b
As we cater to the global LGBTQ+ community, we are focused on creating a more welcoming world for all. In addition to our LGBTQ+ hosts and to help ensure a superior level of hospitality, we have selected agency partners to offer more listings in cities worldwide. Each partner has agreed to sign a non-discrimination policy, in particular, based on sexual orientation.
Why add these listings?
They are a good alternative in locations where we have fewer hosts/no hosts. They also address the needs of LGBTQ+ travelers who may occasionally be more interested in such listings rather than in the experience at a 100% gay resort or with a misterb&b host. At this point, though, we haven’t been able to vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
When booking with misterb&b, you help support organizations fighting for LGBTQ+ rights around the world.
Find out about Mister for Good initiative in the footer and help start building tomorrow's world by making a donation.
Supporting the community is not just about survival, it's also about thriving, empowering and making a difference.
