I arrived in early July very late one night as a solo woman traveler, and when I reached the hostel I was immediately relieved. The garden atmosphere (and geckos!) and kind staff helped me make a smooth transition into Costa Rica. This was my first time staying at a hostel and it was wonderful. My room had 3 other beds but no one else was there. There was ample space for storing luggage, a fan to keep the room cool, and a bathroom that had shower soap, shampoo, & conditioner included! Additionally, the breakfast was wonderful (and included!), there was plenty of filtered water to drink, and the garden attached to the dining area has beautiful seating and lush greenery alongside a fountain with fish and baby sharks! I am so glad this was my first impression of Costa Rica! Pura vida!

With free WiFi, this 3-bedroom apartment offers a cable flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and fridge. Towels and bed linen are offered in the apartment. Additional in-room amenities include chocolates or cookies.

The host was charming. The flat is incredibly well furnished - she has thought of all the little details that make your stay very comfortable and feel like home. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, it lacked nothing. The location is great. Walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. and 10 minutes drive to the airport. Had a private garage to park our car. A great value for money. Definitely recommend it before a flight in or out of Costa Rica.

Edward was a great host! On our way from the airport to Edward we got scammed by an unofficial “taxi” who tried to raise the price and drove in circles in a shady area. We called Edward from the way and he stayed on the line with us until we got to the place. He also waited outside and helped us with handling the payment to the scammers. He really made us feel secure and welcome in Costa Rica. Other than that we had a great stay, the room is big and accommodating and the breakfast was great. Edward offers shuttles from and to the airport which we will use next time around. Overall, We highly recommend Edward’s place

    It's not flashy, but there is a living room area, common kitchen, and an enclosed patio. We asked about getting a cab to the airport (at 3:00AM!) but Esteban said he would drive us there - for $10 because it off hours. So worth it. Good restaurants within a few blocks walking distance. I highly recommend this hotel.
