Cali Studio #3, Jaco Beach - Apartments for Rent in Jacó, Provincia Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Fantastic little spot down the road from `The Strip’.  There’s a cool locals soda down a short walk away with good food/services/prices.  The room was quaint and clean as can be.  Great find.  I even UberEats food my last night. Great place. Celine very responsive and friendly.

Easy check-in, great value, very nice, quiet, and functional. 🙏🏽

We absolutely loved the place and Celine is the best host you can wish for! Hope to be back there soonish 😊.

Great location just on the outskirts of town; made for easy access to the strip while enjoying a quiet neighborhood…

Very nice place, Celine was great and helpful

Clean, comfortable apartment and great location. The hosts were kind and helpful. Recommended!

דירה נקייה, נוחה ומיקום מצוין. המארחים היו אדיבים וזמינים. מומלץ!

The place was exactly as described and very comfortable. I sat outside the courtyard area several times and absolutely loved it.

This place is one of my absolute favorites. It's a little oasis of peace and beauty. Checking in with effortless. The place is immaculate and very comfortable. There's even a hot shower, which I much appreciated. And a cool little library to take a book or leave a book. I'll definitely be back.

Everything was super clean and perfect!! 🤗

Thank you very much Celine, we were very comfortable

Muchas gracias Celine, estuvimos muy a gusto

Everything was super clean, Celine was attentive from day one of the booking! The place is very calm. Full would come back

Todo estaba súper limpio, Celine se mantuvo pendiente desde el día uno de la reservación! El lugar transmite demasiada calma. Full volvería

Good place, good location, take into account that it does not have parking (if they indicate it).

Buen lugar, buena ubicación, tomar en cuenta q no tiene parqueo (si lo indican).

Unfortunately,  the host canceled the day of my check due to flooding from heavy rain. I've stayed at this location  two times before and I know it's a great place located on South Jaco Beach. I hope she has her listing up and running ASAP.

Great value & located in a quiet area! Had everything I needed.

I have used airbnb for a while; this is by far the best airbnb I have stayed at and with the best slept on location. Thank you Celine.

An amazing and beautiful place; beautifully decorated and equipped to meet the needs; it seems that the host has paid attention to what each person may need for their stay. It is beautifully decorated and creates a nice energy. It has a yard that you're happy to sit. The room as well as the bathroom are very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped. It was a perfect fit for us and I highly recommend him. thank you so much for hosting

Ένας καταπληκτικός και πανέμορφος χώρος.  όμορφα διακοσμημένος και εξοπλισμένος να καλύπτει τις ανάγκες. φαίνεται πως ο οικοδεσπότης έχει δώσει προσοχή στο τι μπορεί να χρειαστεί ο κάθε άνθρωπος που θα έρθει για την διαμονή του. Είναι όμορφα διακοσμημένος και δημιουργεί μια ωραία ενέργεια. Έχει μια αυλή που χαίρεσαι να κάθεσαι. Το δωμάτιο όπως και το μπάνιο είναι πολύ καθαρά. Η κουζίνα είναι πλήρως εξοπλισμένη. Ταίριαξε απόλυτα σε εμάς και τον προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα.  ευχαριστούμε πολύ για την φιλοξενία

Great airbnb, would definitely recommend!! The place is beautiful and Celine is available if you need anything!

Super airbnb, je recommande fortement!! Le lieu est magnifique et Céline disponible en cas de besoin!

Love the location  away from crazy downtown. Relaxing and quiet. Bare essentials provided such as salt and enough toilet paper, no more. TV didn't work. I would have been very grateful if LOCAL bus information was available or posted somewhere around the premises. Not everything is in the internet. Small details normally, makes a better or breaks a business. As a former business owner, lots of my customers became my friends.

comfortable loft, celine very attentive to our needs.  thank you so much

cómodo loft, celine muy atenta a nuestras necesidades.  muchas gracias!

Great accommodation. Well equipped and well located. Very helpful hostess. We will be happy to come back.

Super Unterkunft. Gut ausgestattet und gut gelegen. Sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. wir kommen gerne wieder

I really enjoyed staying here, it's close enough to walk to town/beach, but far enough to be a really peaceful place to be (which is a great thing to have in Jaco) A delightful little courtyard in the middle of the property had a great homely, welcoming feel. The room I had was a good size with all I needed. Clean, tidy, great communication, overall great value for the money.

We had a great time, absolutely available! Thank you and happy new year!

Siamo stati molto bene, assolutamente disponibili! Grazie e buon anno!

I absolutely loved this place, clean, safe, great atmosphere, my room was cooler than I thought it would be because it can get really hot but because of the green surrounding and having it at ground floor probably made it cooler plus fans did amazing. It’s only 2 blocks from the beach, and 10-15 min to main downtown area. Celine was on top of everything, it’s great value for the price. I am definitely coming back to this place next time.

Celine is very welcoming, the site is nice and everything is nearby. It was a very nice stay. Thanks Celine, see you soon.

Celine est très acceuillante, le site sympa. et tout est à proximité. Ce fut un très beau séjour. Merci Celine, à bientôt

It was the first place we stayed in Costa Rica and we really felt super comfortable. The host is very friendly and is always available for any questions. We highly recommend it. It is located near downtown and the beach so it is very convenient to walk everywhere. We would love to come back

Fué el primer lugar en donde nos hospedamos en Costa Rica y realmente nos sentimos super comodos. La anfitriona es muy amable y siempre está a disposición ante cualquier duda. Lo super recomendamos. Está ubicado cerca del centro y de la playa por lo que es muy cómodo ir caminando a todos lados. Nos encantaría volver

Great place, good location and lovely host :)

Celin's place has very good location out of the main strip hustle. Check-in was easy and the place looks like in the photos. Celine was kind and provided me another floor fan on request that is addition to the ceiling fan. Be aware that Jaco is super humid that came to me as a surprise. People used to airco might be in shock but this is the compromise why Celine's place is one of the cheapest in Jaco. For me the deal was fair and there was no better feeling than showering sweats off. I have no complaints; the property is comfortable.

All good, the place is a little dark and the Wi-Fi sometimes doesn't work, but other than that Is a perfect place to stay for a few days.

We have a great wifi and speed but the problem was all the town

Once again as many of us chose this wonderful stay with an excellent price, very quiet, equipped place and great service from Celine. 100% recommended

Una vez más como muchas escogimos este maravilloso hospedaje con un excelente precio, muy tranquilo, lugar equipado y genial atención de parte de Celine. 100% recomendado

I had a pleasant stay at Celine’s. The bus from San Jose stopped right in front of the municipal building so it was very easy to walk to place. Everything was nice and I enjoyed my stay

The place is in a good location and is also quite cute. You have everything you need EXCEPT air conditioning. There is a ceiling fan and another fan. However, the heat accumulates extremely in the room and then stands at night. We could barely sleep in the heat so my partner even slept outside. It is really very uncomfortable at high temperature.

Die Unterkunft hat eine gute Lage und ist auch ganz niedlich. Man hat alles was man braucht AUSSER eine Klimaanlage. Es sind ein Deckenventilator und ein weiterer Ventilator vorhanden. Allerdings staut sich die Wärme extrem in dem Raum und steht dann Nachts. Wir konnten bei der Hitze kaum schlafen, sodass mein Partner sogar draußen geschlafen hat. Es ist bei hoher Temperatur wirklich sehr unangenehm.

The accommodation is in a good location a walk to the beach and the center of town. Everything you need is provided except air conditioning as stated in the airbb posting. There is a ceiling fan and an additional fan and a cross breeze. One shouldn't expect a tropical paradise like Costa Rica to be ice cold.

This is a very relaxed atmosphere, safe and clean. I love it and it's the second time in less than 5 months that I've come! I 100% recommend it.

Es un ambiente muy relajado, seguro y limpio. Me encanta y es la segunda vez en menos de 5 meses que vengo! Lo recomiendo al 100%.

muy muy buen lugar y una atención espectacular

Celines place is amazing! We felt at home. It’s super cozy and calm. The location is excellent. The apartment was super clean! I highly recommend the place ;)

A very charming place, quiet, clean , hot shower. All is within walking distance (or by stroller) The highlight for us was the communication with Céline. Please do not stop there to relax.

Un endroit très charmant, calme, propre , douche chaude. Tous est accessible a pieds (ou en poussette) Le point fort pour nous a été la communication avec Céline. N'hésitez pas à vous arrêter là bas pour vous détendre.

We enjoyed our stay here, nice location away from the main centre which we liked as we didn’t enjoy Jaco town centre much. Clean bathroom & kitchen. The surroundings in the common area are good with cute decor. The only down side is that it’s so humid in jaco and there isn’t any air flow at all in the room. The fan didn’t really do much as it’s circulating stagnant air. Celine was very helpful on our arrival and responded super fast!

We had a super weekend, the place is very quiet and comfortable. The people are very friendly, it has a very good location as well.

Pasamos un súper fin de semana, el lugar es muy tranquilo y cómodo. La gente muy amigable, tiene una muy buena ubicación también.

I live in San José and keep coming to Jacó on the weekends. This is my favorite place to stay in town; it has everything you need, nice people included, super easy check in/out and starts feeling like a second home. Thanks, Céline, you're the best!

Great place close to best surf area in Jaco (Playa Bejuco). Close enough to walk to town for dinner/groceries. Clean and quiet for the most part. WiFi worked but because of concrete walls signal was much better outside the room. Would definitely stay here again

We were comfortable and well cared for. You could go downtown and the beach on foot. Quiet area.

Estuvimos cómodos y bien atendidos. Se podía ir al centro y a la playa caminando. Zona tranquila.

We enjoyed our stay in El California. The hospitality is great. The beauty and calm of the outdoor courtyard suited us well. The discreet and friendly house staff. The apartment is very clean and well maintained. We have very good service and nice conversations with Céline.

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour au El California. L'accueil est super. La beauté et le calme de la cour extérieure nous ont bien convenu. Le personnel de maison discret et sympathique. L'appartement est très propre et bien entretenu. Nous avons un très bon service et de belles conversations avec Céline.

We enjoyed our stay. The complex is a short walk to the beach and downtown. The suite had everything we needed, was very affordable and clean. There were parrots in the tree next to our suite which we loved to see every day.

The location is great. Close enough to the bustling night life and ocean, but just outside of the downtown core, so it's quiet at night. We did have some early morning wake-up calls from two Macaws (they always travel in pairs), which was a welcome surprise. Celine was very helpful in giving us advice on how to get to a variety of places, including Manuel Antonio National Park (the bus to Quepos stops across the street! There, you can transfer to a local bus to Manuel Antonio) and San Jose. Otherwise, the description of the place is accurate. We were switched to a different studio at the last minute, but the amenies, safe for cooking oil, were all there.

This was already my second stay with Celine, so I obviously like it. The studio is nice, clean and comfortable with everything you need for your stay. The property and outside arreas are nice and cozy. Very close to the beach and a short walk to Jaco centre and therefore very quiet. Celine is always available if you have any questions. I would definetly stay again!

Great stay at Celine's:) very functional and pleasant apartment!

Super séjour chez Celine :) appartement très fonctionnel et agréable!

Very good complex. Clean, tidy, private and the only thing I have to criticise is the area. If you are in a car, it is perfect but if not, you have to walk to the center/ beach

Muy bueno el complejo. Limpio, ordenado, privado y lo único que tengo para criticar es la zona. Si estas en auto, esta perfecto pero sino hay que caminar hasta centro/ playa

My 2nd time here, & will come back again..I enjoy staying here..

I love this place. It has all you need, nice decoration, clean, good location, easy check in/out, fair price and Céline is super nice.

Great place if you are here for the surf! Nice people!

If you are going to Jacó to surf and want somewhere affordable, simple and near the Sea then Celine's place is great as it is a 5 minute walk to amazing surf. There is no AC and not a lot of ventilation so the room did get warm but otherwise it was very cosy and comfortable. Celine replied to my messages within 30 seconds, even to non-urgent questions like "where's the best bar" so that was considerate and helpful.

The room was lovely and comfortable, check in was really easy and the location was great with only a short walk to the beach.

Great & Affordable spot close to town & surf. We had a great time staying here.

As described, the location is a short walk from the busy part of town which is a great bonus. Very quiet road / neighbourhood but only 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of the Jaco restaurants and bars and the beach. The property was well equipped with everything we needed and had ahoy water for the shower. Celine was a great host: very helpful directions to the property, easy check in despite arriving early, allowed us to extend our stay, answered many questions about our onwards travel. Would highly recommend staying here.

The apartment is equipped with everything  you need and located in a quite area about 3 min walking distance to the beach and 10 min to the center. Celine is a lovely host that helped us immediately with any issues. We absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Very good apartment so as not to spend a lot and be comfortable

Muy buen apartamento para no gastar mucho y estar cómodo

Very good stay here! The apartment is super clean chrome nickel! Very good price really cheap. Not far from playa hermosa to go surfing , 6/7 minutes from the first spot by car (by Uber the race is cheap at all, you can do this every day), and if you want to surf jaco you can go on foot .

Très bon séjour ici! L'appartement est nickel chrome super propre ! Très bon prix vraiment pas cher. Pas loin de playa hermosa pour allez surfé , 6/7 minute du premier spot en voiture (en Uber la course est pas cher du tout vous pouvez faire ça tout les jours), et si vous voulez surfé jaco vous pouvez y allez a pied .

We liked it very much. You are quickly in the city and on the beach, which we did not find so nice. Arriving and departing was very straightforward due to a bus stop only 200m away. There is hot water and finally a functional icebox all to ourselves! The outside area is very nicely designed, the private kitchen very well equipped. It's pleasant at night through fans. The bed was comfortable.

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Man ist schnell in der Stadt und am Strand, den wir aber nicht so schön fanden. An- und Abreise war durch eine Bushaltestelle nur 200m entfernt sehr unkompliziert. Es gibt warmes Wasser und endlich mal ein funktioniendes Eisfach ganz für uns alleine! Der Außenbereich ist sehr schön gestaltet, die private Küche sehr gut ausgestattet. Nachts ist es durch Ventilatoren angenehm. Das Bett war gemütlich.

Excellent choice. Very located and equipped apartment.

Excelente opción. Departamento muy ubicado y equipado.

We stayed at Celine's place for three nights and we enjoyed it very much. It is as described and the price-performance ratio is unbeatable for the low season. The place was very clean and more than sufficient for two people. We would definitely come back.

Wie waren drei Nächte in der Unterkunft von Celine und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Es ist wie beschrieben und das Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis ist für die Nebensaison unschlagbar. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und für zwei Personen mehr als ausreichend. Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen.

I got food poisoned shortly after the day I arrived, so I did not get to fully enjoy the stay as much as I would have wanted. However that being said, I think Celine was a great host. She was very accommodating to me as I checked in earlier than the check in time. The workers were very helpful. The accommodations are just like what was shown in the pictures and very tidy and clean. The location is a bit far off from the city center, but it is close to the beginner friendly surf area of the beach. Had I not been food poisoned and had been bedridden for a day and a half (nearly my entire stay), I believe I would have greatly enjoyed my time here!

This room is in a safe, relaxing complex. It’s nice to have people around so you’re not totally alone (if you’re traveling alone lol). If you’re a single female, this is perfect if you intend on only going out during the daytime. It’s close to the beach, shops and restaurants! All are walking distance! It is a little scary walking alone at night. Just a heads up!

Nice clean place, Celine provided really helpful informations

Fantastic room had everything we needed. Felt very safe. Short walk to the beach, shops and good restaurants. Super room with a well equipped kitchen.

A wonderful and affordable choice for your Jaco stay! Outside of the downtown noise, on the better end of the beach, clean and simple with a well stocked kitchen for cooking. Farmers market is Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, 5 minute walk away.

I spent one week at Celine's place and enjoyed it very much. Apartment is exactly as decribed and I had everything I need including a well equipped small kitchen for cooking. Celine was around frequently and always available for informations and questions. The apartment is at the south end of Jaco, so it was quiet and just a short walk to the center and also to the beach. Bus stop to several destinations is almost in front. Highly recommend!

Furniture in the room was cheap and uncomfortable and falling apart. No real windows just screens so easy to hear in and out. No AC as listed and no airflow so it’s hot 24/7. Location was great!

Aslynn please next time try to read what your host take the time to write you, NO AC so still hot, and rustic and simple…

Great to be back at one of Celine’s places again. Wonderful as always and had a great time. One of the sweetest and most kind hosts ever. Can’t wait to come back again.

Perfect place to stay in Jaco! The location is great: walking distance to beach, shops and restaurants. It's quiet at night. We love having our own bathroom and small kitchen. Definitely great value for money! We work remotely and found everything we need here (apart from a washing machine).

great location, quick and simple communication, clean, accurate, in the kitchen there is everything you need to cook with even coffee, salt, oil etc. I definitely recommend it!

ottima posizione, comunicazione veloce e semplice, pulita, accurata, in cucina c'é tutto il necessario per cucinare con anche caffé, sale, olio ecc. La consiglio sicuramente!

We loved our stay here! It felt safe, the kitchenette was very well equipped, there was warm water in the shower for those who seek that and it was nice to be able to eat in the yard. Everything was clean and it's such a short walk to the beach.

Nice place on a budget ! Close to downtown and very close to the beach. Easy to communicate with the host,tips and knowledge of the place and its activities were much appreciated during my stay. Recommended !

Bel endroit pour petit budget ! Près du centre-ville et très près de la plage. Facilité de communication avec l'hôte,conseils et connaissance de l'endroit et ses activités ont été très appréciés lors de mon séjour. Je recommande !

Very comfortable room, quiet place and very nice

Cuarto muy cómodo, lugar tranquilo y muy lindo

Nice stay the check in was really nice bit out from the main area bit super good to reach not noisy at night:)

Celine’s place was in a great location right next to the beautiful beach very clean and safe. Great place for a visit to Jaco. Upon check out Celine was kind enough to help us purchase bus tickets to San José and also guided us to where we where suppose to go. Super nice host!

The Airb&b is safe, secure, and very clean. The kitchen has enough to prepare your meals there. Lots of markets to buy fresh food nearby. There are many restaurants to choose from as well. It is close to the beach and city center as advertised. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The internet is fast. I had trouble with it but rest assured, she contacted her IT person immediately who came to fix it and she also contacted her internet provider as well. She also let me use her internet in the meantime since it was work-related. (I am a remote worker.) Things happen, things break but rest assured that she will resolve any issues that come up quickly and efficiently. Which is very important. She was also helpful in giving advice and directions to places of interest. The only downside is that there are no glass panes on the windows so sound does carry. If you do conference calls for work or teach remotely make sure you bring a good headset. Other than that the space is great! I had a wonderful and pleasant stay. Her staff keeps the premises nice, clean, and well-maintained. I highly recommend it!

I am so grateful that I extended my stay here. This is a great spot. It is safe, clean, and in a great location if you are looking for something lowkey and quiet.

Celine was amazing! The room also has some fans so everything was cooled off. Everything was exactly in the picture and the outside area was filled with hammocks. This place is perfect for going to the beach. A slightly longer walk to Jaco’s Main Street, but manageable!

LOVED this place! The kitchen was well-stocked, bathroom was clean and shower worked great (water never got hot, but you don't need it after a hot day in the sun anyway). Even though there's no AC, I never felt like I needed it, there are 2 fans in the room and because of how the room is positioned, there's never direct sun shining in, so it was nice and cool day and night. Celine was a wonderful host, she was there to greet me and show me around the space, she added lovely fresh flowers to the room which was nice. The place is perfectly located on a quiet street away from the action, but only a 5 min walk to the main street, and 5 min walk from the beach. Place is gated so I never felt unsafe.

it is a budget place, but very good. Definitely would recommend and stay again. Good internet, kitchen with everything you need. Celine is very helpful and responsive. Thanks

Close to the beach. Tidy. It has the minimum.

Cercano a la playa. Ordenado. Cuenta con lo mínimo.

Beautiful, simple studio. With fan,  equipped kitchen, mosquito net, bus stops almost outside the door.

Schönes, einfaches Studio. Mit Ventilator,  ausgestatter Küche, Mückennetz, Bus hält quasi vor der Tür

My stay in the California #3 was again a wonderful experience. Celine is so kind and helpful, and an amazing host. I have been at Celine's places multiple times and she and her staff always make sure I am well-taken-care-of and have everything I need. Marlene, Angela and Abner are great helpers and are very welcoming as well. Necessities, the beach, restaurants and everything you need is close and/or a short walk away. I will always and definitely recommend any of Celine's units for a stay in Jaco. It's always a great value.

Very good accommodation, good value for money and the host was very attentive. The cleanliness of the place is very good and well equipped. Fully recommended.

Muy buen alojamiento, buena relación precio calidad y la host muy atenta. La limpieza del lugar es muy buena y está bien equipado. Recomendado totalmente.

This is the third time I have been back to stay at Celine's Airbnb's and it is always a wonderful experience. The place is always clean, welcoming (including flowers) and is well stocked for anything and everything you could need. Celine's helpers Angela and Marlene are amazing, helpful and incredibly hard working and are always willing to help in any way they can. Celine is the same offering help, suggestions and advice in any way that she can. The prices are always reasonable, it is a short walk to the beach, as well as the main street for restaurants and shops. I will definitely be coming back again and highly recommend one of Celine's rooms for your stay in Jaco.

this is a quiet area and no close late night food around but morning great for fruits and coffee

Awesome stay, super clean, has all the basics you need, great value. Nice quiet location but still close to town, the beach, etc. I'd stay again for sure.

Great stay, Celine was really kind and helpful

Hello, I really enjoyed my stay at Céline's place. A clean place without worries with service and information more than appreciated. I recommend this place without hesitation. Enjoy your stay Mathieu

Bonjour, j’ai vraiment aimé mon séjour chez Céline. Un endroit propre en sans soucis avec un service et des renseignements plus qu’apprécier. Je conseil cette endroit sans hésitation. Bon séjour Mathieu

The accommodation, itself, is as described and comfortable enough to meet the expectations that were set in the listing. It's a one-room studio with a bathroom and a kitchenette, televisions, fans, etc. The walk to the beginning of the main stretch downtown Jaco on the southern end is about 5-7 minutes, and as I like to walk, I had no issues with the distance. You'll want to note that if you're walking back at a late hour, there can be some crazy drivers coming off of that main stretch of Jaco. Not a huge problem but just be aware. A couple of other noteworthy items: - For those of you who may be taking a bus from San Jose (or returning) is that there is a bus stop about two minutes from this property near the corner of Pastor Diaz Ave. and Avenida Amapola. Very convenient. - The property has a rule of no guests. I did not notice this until I'd already booked. For those of you who may have friends in town or may want to bring friends back to your room with you, take note. And functionally, this is for a very obvious reason once you arrive: the property is very quiet, the windows to the rooms are all open for a breeze, and the rooms are placed very close to each other. In fact, there was a gentleman on the second floor -- french, judging by his accent -- and not only could I hear his conversation very clearly but he had his conversation on speaker and I would barely make out what the person to whom he was speaking was saying. All that to say, if you were to have any sort of guest in your room, the other folks who live here would be all up in your business whether they chose to or not. The reason for the low rating is that I had a very bad experience here. Upon entry on day two of my stay, I found the door ajar and entered with key in hand. I passed by a young lady who immediately eyed me with suspicion and started questioning me as to who I was and what room I was staying in. I do not volunteer personal information of mine to random people who feel entitled enough to demand it undentified. As I passed her, the questions persisted. I turned around, approached her, and said, "Who are YOU?" She finally identified herself as the property manager, and I mentioned to her that we'd just been trading emails via this site the day before. That slowly became sufficient for her, but it was an entirely uncomfortable experience. I'd had some short conversations with two other residents as well as the...maid?...who checked me in. All pleasant people. All very pura vida was one would expect. Celine, in person, with me, was not. This is an experience that I am accustomed to experiencing from time to time in the American Southeast but not at all in Costa Rica. But, of course, Celine is not Costa Rican. The situation left me feeling uncomfortable, suspected, and unwelcome. I visit Costa Rica about 6 times a year and Jaco maybe half of those times. Would I stay at this property again? Heavens no.

Mark,  First of all let me say it's very disappointing yet not surprising to see your review as my experience with you was beyond unpleasant, and I'll give my point of view so that other people who feel that acting you do is ok don't think of even coming to our property and hopefully not even to our country.  I'm going to correct you from the start as you tried to make this sound racial from the beginning of your review so much so that you even went on and reported a discrimination case against a person who is married to a person of color from Costa Rica, and who's MAID as you disrespectfully describe the person who has helped me with my house keeping for over a decade and is also a person of color.  Of course I stopped you on the way in and it's an absolute lie I did not identify myself as I opened with , Hi i am Celine what room are you staying in!? to which you reply in the most condescending of ways by saying: what is that to you!? Since like you said we exchanged emails when I said my name I would assume that it was enough for you to know that I am the person in charge (owner) of the property.  From that moment on it was very clear what you real intentions were not only in our property but in our town SEXUAL TOURISM, and in the second you realize i was not going to allow you to bring your dirty business into our property you became probably my worst guest ever from that second on, my housekeeper agreed with me by saying you were horrible and rude to her welcome as well or my husband who ran into you and asked if you wanted for him to hold the gate to what you just reply a simple Hmm and continued to walk.  The part about your review that offended me the most was the fact that you mentioned my nationality as if you actually knew anything about me and as if being a foreign makes you less of a human or less possible for that person to be nice to you, and that on it self is the main concept of racism and you should be ashamed of yourself for saying stuff like this.  Also the fact that you did not have enough or even the slight decency to bring up any of this topics over to me in person but cowardly went behind our back with the clear intention to hurt a small humble family business for the simple reason of not allowing you to bring prostitutes into our home, and trust me this has nothing to do with windows or loud speaking neighbors.  I have run another 15+ listings in this town for over 17 years now and that's enough to know that a SOLO MALE traveler who has been in CR for more than 5 times and in JACO comes here for one thing and one thing only! THE ONE THING we will stop at all cost sex tourism!!!!! even if it takes getting a few made up reviews like yours! and i say this because i know my 800+ other positive reviews from decent none sex tourist reviews will back me up.  I will completely block you from my platform so yeah you didn't need to be clear about not coming over to us ever again, as i will make sure of that and not only that i will send your information to our sex tourism hotline that is run by tourism chamber for all other members of the board to be aware of you, as like you said, its very possible you will be back to your dirty deeds on our town only this time if wont be undercover!  So if you are reading this and you feel like this gentleman, look for another property to rent as we will tell you without any shame, NOT ON OUR HOME! NOT ON OUR TOWN! NOT ON OUR COUNTRY! As for your information, I am a proud citizen of this country.
