3BR townhouse in Escazu

Escazu Terrace - Townhouses for Rent in Escazu, San Jose, Costa Rica

Excellent location for me. It's very spacious, and there are shops and restaurants nearby.

Excelente ubicación para mi, es muy amplio, cerca hay tiendas y restaurantes.

My wife and I loved Evan’s house. It was the perfect space for our needs. Evan was extremely responsive to any challenges we had, he communicated quickly and provided solutions in an extremely efficient manner. The property is very private. We found it relaxing and peaceful. The house is in a secure area and everything we could possibly want or need was in walking distance. We would love to come back again and spend more time in paradise. Pura Vida!

A TV could have been useful and cooking utensils too!!

Un televisor pudo haber sido util y utensilios de cocina también!!

We had a great stay in Evan's home. He was very responsive when I messaged him. Juan, the property manager, is absolutely lovely and extremely helpful. Not only did he help with anything we needed but also showed us local areas that we may have missed otherwise. The house is much bigger than the photos show and in a great location. The hot water and pressure in the showers is the best that we've experienced!

Evan’s house is a basic, budget place to stay. There aren’t all that many Airbnbs in Escazú that accept pets, so we were lucky to find this one. Things to note: 1. There’s a separate room for an office, with a decent chair, a big desk, and a monitor. HOWEVER, on sunny days it gets horribly hot in there. Literally 90F/32C, which is not okay if you want to work. 2. The house is within walking distance of many places. 3. If you don’t mind the noise from the open window, there’s a nice cross breeze that helps cool down the whole place at night. However, it’s very noisy: big trucks, buses, loud motorcycles, sirens, a school, a loud business, etc. 4. It’s easy and fast to catch an uber, and they’re really cheap. 5. Internet was fast upstairs (but intermittent downstairs). 6. Water goes out frequently. 7. No butterfly garden. 8. House manual needs updated. 9. Evan is generally very responsive. 10. The oven is very confusing, with #s 1-5 instead of degrees or standard gas marks.

The house was exactly what we expected, and the price was reasonable. It's a good neighborhood and the locals are friendly. There's a grocery, pharmacy, and a bakery a block away, and other services in walking distance. It took a while to figure out how to work the faucets, and the refrigerator's ice maker was broken. The Internet connectivity is good. The house isn't air-conditioned but that wasn't much of a problem; there are fans & a nice breeze. There is no dishwasher, but there are two sinks. We washed the dishes just fine. The big screen TV works. The kitchen has an ok supply of cookware and appliances. When problems cropped up, Evan was easy to reach. My wife and I spent about five weeks there while we went apartment-hunting, and were comfortable the entire time. This is a house in Costa Rica, meaning there will be occasional creepy-crawlies and small lizards. Bottom line- we definitely would rent here again.

Great location. Evan and his family were very helpful

Great communication. Good place to stay and great area.

Don’t expect anything too fancy, but it definitely got the job done for my cousins and I. Excellent value in my opinion. I work from my computer, so the room with the desk was a huge perk. Wifi was great. The kitchen was good for cooking meals at home, although we could never figure the oven out. Great location. 5 stars.

The house is very conveniently located in Escazu, very spacious and safe, and I was able to bring my service dog with me. Evan went above and beyond to be flexible with our reservation, communication was timely and always friendly. Thank you so much for being an incredible host, I truly appreciate your sense of hospitality!

Evan was so helpful and communicative throughout the booking process and our stay in Escazu. His home was much bigger in person and the dedicated workspace was awesome. From the balcony and the outdoor space you can see all kinds of birds, butterflies, and lizards. The home is within walking distance of a great bakery, several grocery stores, and loads of restaurants. There’s also a fenced in park nearby that is a nice outdoor space for pets. I would recommend this home for long term stays.

The house is large, safe, comfortable and private. The very comfortable beds, the wide office and gave us the opportunity to even accommodate an additional office space on the ground floor. It has good lighting and by keeping the windows open it ventilates the whole house very well. Located in a very central location, close to everything. Even though the area is bustling because the main street is nearby, it is almost not heard inside the house, and already just by putting music it disguises the noise quite a bit. The only thing a little negative that we find, is that the noise made by the workshop on the front was louder and more continuous than we would have liked. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. Thanks Evan for having us.

La casa es grande, segura, cómoda y privada. Las camas muy cómodas, la oficina amplia y nos dio oportunidad de incluso acomodar un espacio adicional de oficina en la planta baja. Tiene buena iluminación y al mantener las ventanas abiertas se ventila muy bien toda la casa. Se encuentra en un lugar muy céntrico, cerca de todo. A pesar de que la zona es bulliciosa porque la calle principal está cerca, casi no se escucha dentro de la casa, y ya con solo poner música se disimula bastante el ruido. El único punto un poquito negativo que encontramos, es que el ruido que hace el taller de al frente sí fue más fuerte y continuo de lo que nos hubiera gustado. Pero en general, disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía acá. Gracias Evan por recibirnos.

Much larger than expected. Clean, easy to get to where we needed. This is about 25 min drive from San Jose. Felt safe

Very flexible and considerate host. Recommended.

Overall, this was perfect for what I needed for the 3 weeks I was in Costa Rica. The place is convenient - supermarket at end of the road, has good high speed internet. Any issues that came up, Evan responded very quickly. Lots of room.

good space; good location; a little rough around the edges; good value;

Overall good stay. Evan gave clear instructions and was responsive to any issues we had. The place itself was spacious and comfortable enough. Wifi was fast and reliable for video meetings. Location is great. There is a grocery store right in front and walkable to lots of places. The only thing I would say and the reason I gave it 4 stars is the place seems a bit outdated for the price - older appliances and equipment - but overall comfortable.

Hi Basmah.  You indicate that outdated appliances as basis for a 4 star review.  Can you indicate which appliances?  I wonder if the gas stove was an issue?  In Costa Rica, most people use gas and due to earthquakes you cannot have gas lines  but an old gas tank which is rented from grocery stores.  Please advise

Evan's place was great The location is in the hart of everything you need food , shopping , and parks for the kids. the place was clean comfortable beds , enjoyable large tub and strong water pressure. the host is very responsive and gave us some recommendations for our special diet for restaurant that can accommodate our needs . i will be back when i am staying in costa rica . warm hospitality

Great deal. The location and a central and easy to walk around. Lots of space in the house. Evan is amazing host.

Great location, beautiful home, Evan is always kind and accommodating. Look forward to many more stays here!

Great location and responsive host. loved the terrace with so many different birds to see, and butterflies.

Great host who takes pride in his property. Happy to accommodate

This is the perfect place for a long term stay. Has everything you need within walking distance. Very little traffic on the street and awesome little visitors throughout the day like green hermit hummingbirds and butterflies!

Great house in a great location. The host Evan is very responsive and accommodating. The patio and balcony are tranquil and peaceful. Lots of premium movies for free. Everything you need to cook. Jacuzzi is great after a long day. We will be back soon.

This property is conveniently located to supermarkets, shopping, transportation, pharmacy, auto shop, bakery, and local and larger chain restaurants. Walmart is a little way up the road where an Uber will be happy to take you, but if you are a walker like me you will find it very rewarding for your daily exercise. The street lighting is a bit low, especially if you are from a big city in the US, and there is a large auto garage across the street from the house, but not much noise to disturb the peaceful ambiance, plus there is an overnight guard booth with a guard for the shop so there is a sense of security to be found. The house is very spacious, well ventilated with fans everywhere for your comfort, the decor is very attractive and Evans was very available for questions and answers. I will rent and further recommend this property to others.

The house was very clean,  quiet, safe and centrally located in a great little neighborhood of Escazu. The garden is great too; a local iguana comes by to sun himself on the wall in the mornings. The wireless cable internet and Roku smart TV were a nice addition as well.  Recommended 10/10

This is our second stay at Home of the Heart.  It’s removed from the hustle of Escazu but it’s a two minute walk to stores, restaurants and all that.   Anytime I called Uber it took less that 5 minutes for a pickup. House is great two larger bedrooms with queen sized beds, a room with two twin beds.  We didn’t use the spa tub this trip.  Wifi was great.  Evan is a responsive and helpful host.

Very good service, Evan answered our questions very quickly. The house is beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. It's super conveniently located. The operation of the services is very good and we were able to enjoy our stay in Costa Rica

Una atención muy buena, Evan respondió a nuestras dudas con mucha rapidez. La casa es preciosa, espaciosa y muy cómoda. Está súper bien ubicada. El funcionamiento de los servicios es muy buena y pudimos disfrutar de nuestra estadía en Costa Rica

Great value for the money! Comfortable house. And Evan as a host is willing to work with the guest. Has small things that need work, but sure Evan will fix. Heads-up…there’s a mechanic garage in front (owned by the neighbor). Great if you have a car (actually helped with mine). Loved the high-power shower, and having an office with a view to work from. Not just a desk, but a whole office. Thanks Evan! Felt right at home

Nice guy, answers fast if any questions. Big place and great value for the price, the garden is a really nice touch, lots of places to eat nearby- would.happily return if in the area :)

Close to everything and air a GREAT neighborhood. the perfect base for a long stay - and an ideal location for a short one.

The property was very nice, everything was as few rivers. It’s conveniently located in a very walkable neighborhood. Lost of restaurants and stores. The morning aroma from the nearby panaderia was always so yummy. As far as tech, office space and facilities, everything was great. I’d definitely stay here again.

If going to Costa Rica for Dental work this place is perfectly located and has a blender. We felt very safe at this location. Driving here looked pretty crazy so the ability to walk everywhere was a great advantage.

Evans place is great nice location super secure and very roomy.

Good location for medical tourism and other travelers too. Easy access to all the nice places in Escazu. Plus, you are tucked away on a street that only has a few houses so it feels more secure.

Ronda's response that I am a racist is slander. She basically used my house to party and my neighbors were ready to call the police.  Now I am try to collect on very high bills she left me with due to the high amount of people and usage.

The place had everything you can see on the pictures. I was staying there alone, and felt very safe. Close to shopping, but away from busy road. The only thing I didn't like was the car repair in front of the house. Otherwise I would be happy to stay there again.

Great accommodations, great location,  affordably priced and nicely decorated.  The host was very responsive and helpful.  Will be staying there again in April.

Great quiet place with everything you need.

Evan was a superhost.  He was always on top of everything and responded very quickly.  He was very accommodating and very helpful.  Highly recommend him and his space.

Evan was very responsive and was exceptional to work with. Even as his cleaning staff was hit with having to be isolated, he did everything possible to make sure the unit would be cleaned. The place was in a great location. In fact we extended our stay an extra 2 weeks.

Goodlocation if you want to be near San Jose.

The experience I had from booking this property and communicating with the owner was awesome. The property itself EXCEEDED my expectations. It was in a very local area so nothing was too far. I loved it so much! The house is beautiful, clean and attention to details. I definitely will book in the future. Thank you Evan.

Evan’s place was a great stay for my family and I. The home had everything needed from our time away from home. I have to say I definitely felt comfortable and at home. His in-laws are wonderful. Near the home there’s a nice bakery, Burger King across from the bakery and supermarket. We made use of Uber to go to Walmart which was only a 5 - minute drive. We had no problems with are stay at Evan’s place. Evans place is definitely a future choice for me next time I’m in Costa Rica.

very clean, and quiet with comfortable beds.  Good kitchen appliances and utensils.  Close to a nice grocery store and excellent bakery.   Nice showers and the Jacuzzi is great!  Great value for the price.

Nice house In central Escazú that is close to many stores.

Evan's home is spacious, very clean and in a perfect location. It's within walking distance to grocery stores, a little park, an awesome bakery and restaurants. The house itself is very big and modern, with hot water in all the faucets, a washer and dryer, all the kitchen appliances you would ever need, and even a bath tub.  It was well suited for our family with young kids (ages 2 and 3).  Evan was a great host, quick to communicate and offer his help and advice. We loved the home and enjoyed our stay very much!

I do not usually bother writing reviews. Call it lazy or just my "live and let live" attitude. I need to be either very impressed or very irritated, (as it is in this case), to write anything. My friend Paul and I rented Evan's place in Escazu for 3 weeks in February. But for a two day excursion to the coast we were there every day. The location is less than desirable due to the race car tuning company across the street that has engines screaming off and on all day. The bars, razor wire and high voltage electrical defenses makes one wonder just what the crime rate really is. However we did not have any problems with crime while we were there. The townhouse itself is not bad. However there is clear evidence of lack of maintenance. When people have rented it previously they would often leave things behind. It seems that rather than dispose of these things, they were pushed into closets drawers and corners. No big deal but not a lot of attention to basic detail. On a more important note, we were told that there is only one set of keys to the place and the existing locks are very difficult. In fact there was no key at all for the door between the garage and the house. That meant that if anyone were to come by to clean (which never happened) or to repair anything, (like the refrigerator), we needed to be “home” to let them in. That is not what I want to do when I am on vacation. A few days after we arrived, Paul sent Evan a message advising him that there were several things that needed attention. The two main things were the BBQ and the refrigerator. There was no gas for the BBQ (which was an advertised feature) and the refrigerator would not freeze or even keep things very cold. We had food spoiling. I won’t bore you with all the details but it took 5 days an 20 pages of emails to get the ice working and the BBQ gas tank was taken away rather than filled. We had to stay there all day to wait for the repairman to come for the fridge. When he had not shown up by 6:00 PM Paul emailed him and he replied that the repairman was canceled. Of course he could not bother to let us know that so we wasted an entire vacation day. When we were emailing back and forth it was clear that Evan (who lives in Miami) was either not reading our messages, or not understanding, or was playing some kind of game, because his responses often did not match the questions or comments we had just sent him. You would ask him one question and he answers a completely different one. The conversation of course slowly deteriorated despite the fact that Paul was doing the messaging. (Paul is much more measured than I am.) The last major issue was the garage door. I came home one day and noticed that it was raised about two feet. I had just gone out that way and had used the remote to close it. It should have closed all the way. In fact I’m pretty sure it did. Paul was home at the time anyway but from then on I checked it every time to make sure that it closed and stayed that way. It happened again a few days later and I know it was closed when I left. When we took off for a trip to the coast we both double checked it – and it was closed. Two days later we came back and found it open 2 feet again. Shortly after that we had a nasty exchange with Evan who had received a call from the “neighbor” that we had left the door open. He was actually threatening us in case anything had been stolen! (Everything was ok and I believe it opened – or was opened the second day we were gone. Understand that I have been in the construction field for 40 years as well as owning and managing 26 rental units and Paul was an inspector for the phone company. We are neither idiots nor irresponsible! The door was closed when we left! I think the final straw was when Evan said he would provide the propane for the BBQ if we have him a 4 or 5 star review! Well guess what – I am giving him a 2!

Brian and his friend were difficult guests at every point during their stay.  Their communication style was very slow and their tone was rude at times.  They complained about everything and we're bossy like this was a 4 star hotel. They would complain about something trivial like the toilet paper dispenser and expect people locally to run around and fix things immediately.  They left the garage door open.  Didn't understand the gravity and we're very  poor and rude in their responses.  We have had cleaner, more respectful and better guests.

I had a great time staying at this house. It was huge for just one person. A family of 4 or five would be very comfortable. The location was great for getting around also.  I highly recommend this casa de Escazu.

Great sized house, very well stocked kitchen. Loved the feel of he home and the closeness to stores and restaurants

I'm not sure why you gave me a low 4* rating. At any time during your stay, you could have contacted me "the host" via airbnb. Other than check-out, what did you urgently need to contact me about?   You changed your check-out time at the very last minute. I presume this is what you are speaking about and we cannot move on a dime like a regular hotel. Unless, you can justify the communication problem and low score, or change the score, we'll note this for a future requests.

The house is spacious, it has two full baths upstairs and a half-bath downstairs, three bedrooms, a kitchen conducive to cooking meals together. The private courtyard area is full of beautiful plants and there are plenty of birds to fill the trees that surround the back of the property. There are plenty of screened windows to open when a breeze is desired and the neighborhood is safe. Construction of a new school down the street and a very active auto shop across the street added to the noise level in the afternoons, but the nights were peaceful. We hope to return there soon.

Great location with shops and places to eat around.   Very clean and comfortable.

Many thanks, Evan, Juan and Lourdes. You guys were very nice. The house is spacious, with several rooms, rooms very nice, clean, and with all amenities. The place where it is located is quite central in Escazú, there are restaurants, supermarkets and other shops a few meters away. Public transportation is also nearby. Overall a very good experience. Definitely recommended, we look forward to returning soon

Muchas gracias, Evan, Juan y Lourdes. Fueron ustedes muy amables. La casa es espaciosa, con varios ambientes, las habitaciones muy agradables, limpias, y con todos los servicios. El lugar en donde se encuentra es bastante céntrico en Escazú, hay restaurantes, supermercados y demás tiendas a pocos metros. También el transporte público está cercano. En general una muy buena experiencia. Sin duda recomendable, esperamos volver pronto

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at Evan's house very much. The house is spacious, kitchen fully equipped, the beds very comfortable and the showers are with constant hot water, not an obvious in CR. Location is great for exploring Escazu. Great value for money!

This is a nice spot for medical tourism or business travel. Definitely convenient to supermarkets, pharmacy, etc. A great central location in escazu. Easy to take the bus to Multiplaza and easy to Uber as well. Check-in was charming. Note that directly across the street there is an automotive repair shop that among other things does tuning. By this I mean working on cars for guys who think life is a "Need for Speed" movie and have very loud cars. Part of the tuning process is to rev the engines over and over. It doesn't happen every day, and when it does happen, it's not all day. But it does happen, usually when you're trying to take a nap after a late night out. If you keep a regular schedule, it's not a problem. There's also big construction site about half a block away, tge noise from which is variable but a) it's temporary and b) also at predictable times of day (starts around 7am). Overall this is a nice place with a great value and great location.

We spent a great four days in Evan's home.  It was exactly as the photos suggest---it was spacious, comfortable and clean.  The internet was good the entire time.  We walked to local shops and restaurants and used this house as a point to explore San Jose.  Evan responded quickly each time we had a question.  Overall, we loved this home and would like to return one day!

We always welcome families in our home. It is perfect for large families.

The location is very good, central and very close to restaurants and convenience stores. The house is very roomy and comfortable. With everything you need for a multi-day stay. Highly recommended.

La ubicación de lugar muy buena, céntrica y muy cerca de restaurantes y tiendas de consumo. La casa muy amplia y cómoda. Con todo lo necesario para una estadía de varios días. Muy recomendado.

We really liked staying at Evan's house.  It was near a grocery store and other stores that you might need on your stay.  He was very helpful throughout the trip.  The water works great and the beds are comfortable.

This house is right off the main route in Escazu. Walking distance to a perfect neighborhood bakery, restaurants, and a market for groceries. If you’re used to Western style homes, this place may be familiar. The homes design is a great mix between Tico architecture and a US based house. Great communication from Evan when it was needed.

very good location, one of the best areas, good treatment from Evan, the house in acceptable condition, however, many insects and does not have WIFI or cable TV, which makes the stay a bit boring.

muy buena ubicación, una de las mejores zonas, buen trato de Evan, la casa en estado aceptable, sin embargo, muchos insectos y no cuenta con WIFI ni TV por cable, lo que hace la estancia un tanto aburrida.

The house was clearly listed as not having working internet and cable.  I gave them instructions on how to purchase a WIFI hotspot at an ICE shop which is no more than 5 minutes from the house walking.  I also gave them $40 to pay for the hotspot and a block of minutes.  They never followed through with this and simply pocketed the money.  Concerning insects and cock roaches, they exist in practically every house in Costa Rica.  In this case, the day after they complained, we immediately sent Fumigation services and we also provided a deep cleaning of the house for which they only paid $25.  The cleaning services cost $35 and that is clearly stated on the house rules.  Finally, the house rules state "no parties" and they apparently had one and we only learned as they requested another cleaning.  The maid entered the house and said it was very messy and would require extra cleaning time.  They then declined the cleaning.  In the end, I would still recommend them as guests. However, be sure they understand the house rules.
