Excellent value for money, very close to the University of Costa Rica and easily accessible. It has everything you need for a comfortable and peaceful stay. There are grocery stores, shops, and restaurants nearby. Although I had no problems, the host was always very attentive and proactive. Recommended!

Great location!! Very walkable distance to mini marts and public transit. It takes about 15 mins to get to the heart of the city by car but if you’re feeling adventurous I recommend walking as the UCR campus is beautiful and the surrounding neighborhoods are too. Many parks nearby so take advantage of the location. Oscar and Dennia are really good people with plenty to offer and have tons of information about the surrounding areas, the apartment and how things work in the region. The neighborhood itself is peaceful. Grocery stores aren’t too far out, but I’d suggest trying different eateries such as the local sodas as it helps support small businesses and because Costa Rican food is incredible!! :)

Honestly, everything was fine from the beginning. It's the second time I've been there, and both experiences have been very good. Super clear communication. He answered my questions quickly, and if there was any problem, he gave me a quick solution. I would definitely stay there again

Everything was great; very close to the university. Perfect for my stay of a few days. The apartment comes with everything you need, including a kitchen and a washing machine. There was a minor check-in issue, which was resolved within two minutes. There was always a prompt response to my questions! Thank you so much!

I had a great experience staying at Oscar's place. It is small as described, but had everything I needed. Highly recommend for solo travelers. Neighborhood is really quiet and place is secure. Oscar was extremely helpful, from providing photos to identify the entrance to the apartment, to replying quickly to questions I had. I would 100% stay here again.
