This building was very comfortable, modern, and exactly as described. Would absolutely recommend!

Very friendly and very good service! The building's structure is very good!

Muy cordial y muy bueno servicio! Estrutura del edificio es muy buena!

Thank you very much, Cleverson! It was a pleasure to have you here. We are very happy that you enjoyed the service and the facilities. We hope to see you again soon!

An ideal apartment for couples. It has everything one needs. Nice view. Only the noise from the train can be a little annoying, but the good thing is that it doesn't run on the weekend.

Un apartamento perfecto para parejas. Tiene todo lo que uno necesita. Bonita vista. Solo el ruido del train puede ser in poco molesto, pero lo bueno es que no opera durante el fin de semana.

Unfortunately, the toilet did not work during our stay and the issue was never resolved despite being reported to the host. We had to leave early because a functional bathroom is essential. The host eventually agreed to a refund, but the experience was disappointing.

I really enjoyed my stay. The place is comfortable, clean and nice, and overall I had a very good experience. As an area for improvement, the screen did not work properly and the bathroom had some issues. Apart from those details, everything was great and I would recommend the stay.

Disfruté mucho mi estancia. El lugar es cómodo, limpio y agradable, y en general tuve una muy buena experiencia. Como aspecto a mejorar, la pantalla no funcionaba correctamente y el servicio sanitario presentó algunos inconvenientes. Fuera de esos detalles, todo estuvo muy bien y recomendaría el hospedaje.

Excellent hosting!! I highly recommend it Thank

Excelente hospedagem!! Super recomendo Obrigado

It was a really lovely and walkable area - my only real complaint is that the pillows weren't comfortable lol. Otherwise I had a great time, the room was clean and had a great view, the gym and pool and laundry were all super convenient.

Super nice place with all you need for an amazing stay. The building with all its amenities is impressive and extra + for the laundry machine

Very nice place, the room is very good, there was a lack of communication in some details but it is a place where I would definitely book again, highly recommended

muy bonito el lugar, la habitación muy buena, faltó un poco de comunicación en algunos detalles pero es un lugar donde sin dudas volvería a reservar, muy recomendable

One of the best Airbnbs, I know many, but this place was perfect. Thanks for everything.

Uno de los mejores Airbnb, conozco muchos, pero este lugar fue perfecto. Gracias por todo

Great accommodation. Everything was as described . One thing we missed was an extra mug for tea or coffee and hair dryer . Apart from it , it was great stop for one night in San Jose . Beautiful apartment .

When my partner and I arrived after a 5-hour trip, they made us wait to check in for almost 45 minutes. Apparently they didn't have the form done and therefore they wouldn't let us in. I had paid for the reservation of the place almost 2 months ago 😡

Cuando llegamos mi pareja y yo después de un viaje de 5 horas nos hicieron esperar haciendo el check-in casi por 45 minutos, al parecer no tenían el formulario hecho y por ende no nos dejaban pasar, había pagado hace casi 2 meses la reservación del lugar 😡

I recently stayed at URBN Escalante for 13 nights, and it was a mixed experience. Positives: The location was fantastic, with easy access to nearby restaurants. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The suite offered a lovely view of the city. Amenities were generally nice, though there were many rules to keep in mind. Negatives: Some towels had a noticeable odor, as others have mentioned. The train passing by from 5 AM was quite noisy. There was a power outage one day from 8 AM to 4 PM, which was particularly challenging since I had surgery the day before. I was hoping for some compensation or understanding, but unfortunately, the host was not very accommodating and essentially ghosted me. Overall, while there were some highlights, the experience was somewhat overshadowed by these inconveniences.

Very well located, the only problem is that a train passes very close by. Very good building, good apartment, and very friendly reception. Bathroom supplies could be better. Towels and sheets are not good. The towels didn't smell good, but I didn't ask for a change, so I can't say if the issue could be resolved.

Muy bien ubicado, el único problema es que pasa un tren muy cerca. Muy buen edificio, buen departamento, seguro y muy amables los de la recepción. Los insumos de baño pueden ser mejores. Las toallas y sábanas no son buenas. Las toallas no olían bien, pero no pedí cambio por lo que no puedo decir si pudo resolverse el tema.

I loved it, gorgeous view, very nice apartment. A bustling area. Recommended :)

אהבתי מאוד , נוף מהמם , דירה יפה מאוד . איזור שוקק חיים . מומלץ :)

my 2nd time staying here- there's a reason I chose to return. perfect for digital nomads, great & social building has everything you could want. host is very attentive

Excellent place, accessible to visit many places and everything is safe.

Excelente lugar, accesible para visitar muchos lugares y todo seguro.

This studio was the perfect spot in URBN Escalante! A very lively neighborhood, the restaurants in the building are incredible, and everything went smoothly. The only thing to note is that if you are picky about towels, I’d recommend bringing your own like we did. Overall it was a very affordable place to stay, and the washer dryer duo in unit was a plus!

The stay was generally good, the place met the requirements to spend a few days.

La estancia fue en general correcta, el lugar cumplió con lo necesario para pasar unos días.

this was a great apartment with a nice view. kitchen was equipped with everything that I could need for a long stay

the place is very comfortable and the view is spectacular

el lugar muy cómodo y la vista espectacular

Very nice, I was very happy in the apartment Very clean, and the bed is super comfortable and the pillows are very satisfactory. I recommend it 100%.

Muy lindo, estuve muy feliz en el apartamento Muy limpio, y la cama super cómoda y almohadas muy satisfactoria.lo recomiendo 100%.

The place was very clean and the area was wonderful

Gran departamento con una excelente ubicación

Very good location for a few nights in San Jose

accommodations in the building were an extra great for when it was raining. place was clean, we had an issue with the washing machine and someone was came by within an hour to solve the issue for us. good neighborhood and the food in the base of the building was tasty too

Good location, the shared spaces are superb, the apartment is basic but good enough.

Amazingly comfortable and safe place with a solid weight room and amazing workspaces with a view on the top floor.  Great value!

responsive host, solid location. can't think of a better setup in San Jose as a digital nomad. felt very much at home

Great location in the heart if Barrio Escalante, close to everything walking-distance.

The building is amazing and very conveniently located. There was a problem with the apartment we had initially rented, but the host solved it immediately by offering us a higher quality apartment. Everything was perfect

El edificio es increible y super bien ubicado. Hubo un inconveniente con el departamento que habíamos alquilado inicialmente, pero el anfitrión lo solucionó de inmediato ofreciéndonos un departamento de mayor calidad. Todo estuvo perfecto

Very clean, secure and helpful. Stress is put on security so you feel safe. A great, central location.

Disappointed with a single, poor quality towel for each person, no face cloths. No linens available for second pullout bed. Responses were quick but met with excuses rather than solutions. It was assumed 2people occupancy meant we were a couple that would sleep together rather than friends who would sleep separately.

Hola Marie, gracias por sus comentarios. Si check in fue a una hora temprano y nos empezó a solicitar cosas  que ya estaban en el apartamento a las 10:00 pm. Dejamos un rollo de toallas de cocina NUEVO, un paño que siempre dejamos en la cocina que estaba en perfecto estado, dos mantas extra en el clóset y  jabón suficiente para una lavada, el cual tenemos especificado en nuestro anuncio que debe de solicitarse previamente si lo necesitan. Mejore su comunicación y de respuestas concretas para la próxima estadía.

The place is perfect for a tourist couple. It has a supermarket and several restaurants nearby. The host was quick to communicate and friendly.

Cozy apartment, very clean and well located. Building staff is always friendly and host is helpful and quick to reply.

An excellent place, with a good connection

The place was exactly as described and the amenities of the building are great. The location is good with an easy walk to the city centre and all the museums. The host was super friendly and helped us with storing our luggage during the day as our flight was late in the evening. Would highly recommend this place to others.

Only stayed for a night! Everything was great with the apt. Easy check in. Safe area. Convenient location to walk everywhere. Gracias

Nice place! A little dirty when we arrived but nothing crazy. Recommend!

clean place, easily accessible , coordination with the host very fluid. Recommended The spectacular view

lugar limpio, de fácil acceso , coordinación con el anfitrión muy fluida. Recomendado La vista espectacular

This stay was very clean and having access to the awesome gym and other facilities was awesome! It’s nice that our car had safe parking in the garage as well. The check in desk made the whole process very easy for us, and the location is great, and within walking distance to some great restaurants, bars and coffee shops.

super good, simple and practical,  according to the description of the place

super bien, simple y práctico,  acorde a la descripción de lugar

Excellent, it is undoubtedly a stay to which I would return, the building is unique and is in a very quiet area.

Excelente, sin duda es un hospedaje al que regresaría, el edificio es único y esta en una zona muy tranquila.

It was a great stay, it combined a lot of things and activities together. The host was very friendly, helpful, I felt like I was at home. Due to my professional activity in the area, I will come every time to the same host, if it will be possible to book from him. Thanks in advance for any of my new hospitality!

Ήταν εξαιρετική η διαμονή μου, συνδύαζε πολλά πράγματα και δραστηριότητες μαζί. Ο οικοδεσπότης πολύ φιλικός, εξυπηρετικός, ένιωθα πως είμαι σπίτι μου. Λόγω επαγγελματικής μου δραστηριότητας στην περιοχή, θα έρχομαι κάθε φορά στον ίδιο host, αν θα υπάρχει η δυνατότητα κράτησης μου από εκείνον. Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων για κάθε νέα φιλοξενία μου!

Strategic location and a clean and comfortable space!

Ubicación estratégica y un espacio limpio y cómodo!

Bed was very comfortable. Building was cool. Room itself was small and had the absolute basics. The towels, as many other people have also mentioned.. are HORRIFIC. Literally chose to dry ourselves off with our own clothes instead of touching them. They smelled like old dog vomit and it was not something we could “deal with” Throw them away. Invest in some new ones. AC and fan were nice haha.

very nice place with nice views for a quiet stay

lugar muy bonito con lindas vistas para una estancia tranquila

Everything spectacular, but I find it extremely little objective that a friend can't come up for a moment, one pays for a room and it's not that one is getting people into the apartment but they threaten to charge you just for letting a person that one knows up. One is paying and it seems to me a lot of distrust. I don't recommend the place

Todo espectacular, pero me parece sumamente poco objetivo que un amigo no pueda subir un momento, uno paga por una habitación y no es que uno esté metiendo gente al departamento pero te amenazan de cobrarte solo por dejar subir a una persona que uno conoce. Uno está pagando y me parece mucha desconfianza. No recomiendo el lugar

Very good place, very quiet, comfortable and with a very good location in SJO. Recommended, the hosts are very friendly.

Muy buen lugar, muy tranquilo, cómodo y con muy buena ubicación en SJO. recomendado, los anfitriones muy amables.

Everything was excellent! XperienceCR quickly supported me with all the needs that due to the urgency of the trip arose.

Excelente todo! XperienceCR me apoyó rápidamente con todas las necesidades que por la urgencia del viaje me surgieron.

We had a room on the 16th floor, and a great view of the city. The car was safely parked in the parking garage under the hotel, and we also used the pool and gym. Since the university is very close, the density of pubs and restaurants was very high.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im 16. Stock, und eine tolle Aussicht auf die Stadt. Das Auto stand sicher im Parkhaus unter dem Hotel, auch den Pool und den Fitnessraum haben wir genutzt. Da die Universität in unmittelbarer Nähe liegt, war die Dichte an Kneipen und Restaurants sehr hoch.

It is a comfortable apartment, surrounded by restaurants, cinema, pet friendly The people are very friendly, and it's safe

Es un apartamento cómodo, rodeado de restaurantes, cine, amigable con mascotas La gente es muy amigable, y es seguro

The view is sensational, the flat is beautiful and everything works very well. I felt at home and would always come back there.

A vista é sensacional, o apartamento é lindo e tudo funciona muito bem. Me senti em casa e sempre voltaria aí.

A beautiful place, with a spectacular view of the city.

Lugar hermoso, con una vista espectacular de la ciudad.

Overall was pretty good.I would go back agas long. As the service is faster little bit cleaner, they need to put more supplies.There's a lot of empty containers

Great area , great building , will go back

The apartment is located in my favorite part of San Jose Barrio Escalante, where you can find the nicest and the most hipster spots in the city. Highly recommend if you are staying for a few nights! Just be careful there no place to store your luggage when you check out!

I love the place so I repeat every time I'm in SJ

Me encanta el lugar por eso repito cada vez que estoy en SJ

This is my second stay here.  Clean, great location and easy check-in/check out.

excellent location, safe area, clean place, same as the photos. In addition the building had excellent common areas, a full view of the city on the terrace, pool, cowork room and many more. recommended.

excelente ubicación, zona segura, el lugar limpio, igual a las fotos. además el edificio tenía excelentes áreas comunes, una vista completa de la ciudad en la terraza, piscina, sala de cowork y muchas más. recomendado.

Nice apartment, always happy to stay at URBN Escalante

Lindo apartamento, siempre feliz de hospedarme en URBN Escalante

Everything went well, good communication and beautiful apartment .

Tout s’est bien passé , bonne communication et bel appartement .

Super beautiful condo with lots of things to see in the building. Towels were missing, especially for the face. Otherwise great.

Super beau condo avec beaucoup de choses à voir dans l’édifice. Il manquait de serviettes, surtout pour le visage. Autrement, très bien.

The place is very clean , very nice, the building and the people are very friendly, what I highlight is the excellent communication and quick response to my inquiries . Lowlight: crook him by the kind of area , but if there is a nearby bar that closes like 4am and the truth even being in a high floor was heard a lot , the train passes early in my case I get up very early and it's not a matter but if you have to know.

El lugar muy limpio , muy bonito, el edificio y la gente muy amable, lo que mas destaco es la excelente comunicaicion y respuesta rapida a mis consultas . Lowlight: croe que el por el tipo de zona , pero si hay un bar cercano que cierra como 4am y la verdad aun estando en un piso alto se escuchaba bastante , el tren pasa temprano en mi caso me levanto muy temprano y no es tema pero si hay que saberlo.

We really enjoyed staying at this place it felt right at home, it has everything you need   to make your stay very  pleasant. Everything really clean, the location is great there's lots of restaurants and markets really close, we felt very safe anytime of the day is a great place to stay it has lots to offer we recommend it  100%

The apartment is beautiful, clean, pleasant, the location and the building where they are located is very good. In terms of location, it is in the Escalante neighborhood, which makes them within the gastronomic corridor area, pleasant and picturesque, bars or cafes inside old houses, a lot of art in its settings, and in case you want to have a night city experience it is also close to Cali, where there are many bars and boliches with Latin music, a very good option. The building where it is located is very comfortable, nice and the amenies are particular and eye-catching, from the lobby where you find art books and you can have coffee, to library with city view, quietly you can't get out of there. I highly recommend this place, its amphiotriones very attentive to give a good service. Thank you so much. We'll be back.

El departamento es hermoso, limpio, agradable, la ubicación y el edificio donde se encuentran es muy bueno. En cuanto a la ubicación, se encuentra en barrio Escalante, lo que hace que estén dentro de la zona del corredor gastronómico, agradable y pintoresco, bares o cafeterías dentro de casonas antiguas, mucho arte en sus ambientaciones, y en caso de querer tener una experiencia de la ciudad nocturna también está cerca de Cali, donde hay muchos bares y boliches con música latina, una muy buena opción. El edificio donde está ubicado, es muy cómodo, agradable y los amenies son particulares y llamativos, desde el lobby donde encontras libros de arte y podes tomar café, hasta biblioteca con vistas a la ciudad, tranquilamente podes no salir de allí. Recomiendo mucho este alojamiento, sus anfiotriones muy atentos a dar un buen servicio. Muchas gracias. Volveremos.

Great, large space for the price. Right in the heart of nightlife and trendy outings in San Jose.

Loved this spot. Amenities were great and the amount of alternative spaces provided an exciting opportunity to run into others. Host was fantastic and very understanding (I confused my checkout date!). Location was lovely-- close by higher end Yoses neighborhood and food and Central area/bus stations.

Everything is fine except that the bathroom is dirty and the cloths did not smell well

Todo bien excepto , que el baño está sucio y los paños no olían bien

Good spot, the building is nice. The space does the trick.

The apartment is on the 16th floor and the view of SanJose and the mountains are fantastic

Centrally located luxury building, architecturally distinctive to the area. Well designed lobby with welcoming check-in. Spacious clean apartment excellent city views. Equipped kitchen, laundry, comfortable bed — a home away from home. Highest recommendation.
