Spacious, comfortable accommodation for long stays, super private area. Whenever I visit CR, it's my first choice.

I’m a frequent traveler to Costa Rica, and I choose Novatriana very often, is affordable and centric, however lately they hired an older gentleman, to be the Gate Keeper, he is a very unprofessional individual, who acts sarcastically and makes unnecessary requests from the customers, he asks for PassPort Drivers licenses and takes his time allowing you to enter, confirmation code or name alone is not enough he will have you under the rain and smile while doing it, every entry or re entry will be uncomfortable and not reasonable, he was very rude to my Wife, who attempted to go back to the apartment to look for something lost, and he wouldn’t let her back in because we had just left the office 3 hours before checkout. Novatriana is a good place and Aaron is a great host but this older gentleman gatekeeper, other gatekeepers have been helpful and considerate but he, completely ruined our experience and we will have to think twice before visiting here again.

Aaron's apartment is located in a very quiet and safe place, next to the City Mall and a 5-minute drive from the airport. The pool and gym are a plus. Clean, comfortable apartment and kitchen equipped with everything you need for cooking. Aaron was very communicative, even allowing us to check in early, to make it compatible with our schedules. He was a great resource. I would stay again before or after a flight. Totally recommended

I stayed at Aaron’s place with my partner for 9 days and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The unit was super clean, felt completely safe, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect, just a few minutes from City Mall and really close to the airport, which made getting around so easy. Despite being near everything, it was nice and quiet. Aaron was a great host, friendly, responsive, and helpful. Check-in was smooth, and he made sure I had everything I needed without ever being intrusive. If you’re visiting the area, I’d highly recommend staying here. I’d definitely book again next time I’m in Costa Rica.

Aaron was very responsive in communicating. Each request was answered immediately. The unit was clean and well organized. The security was A1 and we felt extremely safe. We liked the location and access to the stores were great. The fact that it is 5 minutes from the airport makes this a prime location. The price was perfect. He offered assistance to and from the airport and even if I needed help while being in the country. This type of hospitality should be acknowledged and rewarded. I would love to visit his home again anytime I am in Costa Rica. I highly recommend this Airbnb.

Everything clean and tidy.

Aaron’s place is in my favorite apartment complex in Alajuela. Security guard 24/7, swimming pool and elevator are perks normally seen in more expensive locations. Taxi ride is quick and cheap. The mall for last minute items is a short walk and a pandadaria is right around the corner. The apartment is a study of minimalism. No clutter, art on the walls or carpets but that’s okay. The bed was super comfortable and I wanted to steel the pillows. A few minor problems with forgotten surfaces like the vent grate but it was only noticeable as everything else was so clean. Slight musty smell because of the rains but a few minutes with the AC and the smell dissipated. I’ll be back.

Highly recommended when visiting Costa Rica, safe and private area, close to shopping malls and restaurants.

Disappointing experience. The smoke detectors were taped with plastic bags, there were old women's underwear in the dressing area and there were no sheets. When we told Aaron twice that there are no sheets (also with photos), he responded quickly, but still we did not get any sheets. This is unhygienic and too warm with the ceiling. The first day the wifi didn't work because we got the wrong code. The kitchen equipment was satisfactory. We were missing a towel to dry off here. Overall, the place didn't look very well kept. The apartment complex with pool, playground and gym is nice and we liked the location with the mall and supermarkets close to the airport. Next time we would go to another apartment there.

Clean, modern, and secure. Super minimalist decor (white and gray with no art on the walls). The knives and pots and pans were better quality than average. I would have appreciated towels in the kitchen to dry dishes. There was only a small, nearly empty container of salt. No pepper or oil. There was no extra toilet paper in the bathrooms. Only one roll that was close to used up in each. It’s perfect for air travelers. It’s also close enough walk to the City Mall.

It is always a pleasure to stay in the apartment every time I visit Costa Rica.

Nice location, swimming pool and gym on site and the security staff are very nice. We feel safe.

Very recommended accommodation!! I was with my mom for 2 months in Costa Rica traveling around the country, and Aaron's place was our final destination for the next day to take our flight and it was really great to finish our tour in this great apartment, we felt right at home, it is spacious, comfortable, it has everything you need, the beds are super comfortable, it has a pool and the whole is quite nice, the best, that we stay close to Payless where we rent our car (5min) and the airport (10min). Thank you so much, I will definitely keep that in mind when I come back. Thank you so much

Very close to the airport

i have had the opportunity to stay in 5 apartments in the Novatriana, through AIRBNB and unfortunately this has been my least satisfactory experience. unlike the other aptos, this one did not have A/C in the apt room, and the description said APARTMENT WITH AIR, there was only in the room. once I commented this with the host, this one was challenging, rather than hearing the opinion of one of its guests. on the other hand, at the level of comforts, although it is not obligatory, the other apartments offer good products for personal care and toiletries, soap, shampoo, etc, here was very insufficient. the quality of the bedding was not good. in short, for the price that was paid, compared to my previous experiences in the residence complex and that they all handle similar prices, this has been the only negative. i hope that these comments will serve for the improvement of the guest experience in this place.

Host Response

Hola Andres, las disculpas del caso con las deficiencias que mencionas, con respecto a la comunicación lo único que se te mencionó fue que en la descripción del departamento se menciona que el cuarto principal es el que cuenta con aire y se te informó que en los baños había lo necesario para ducharse, y con la ropa de cama fue un tema que estábamos probando una nueva marca en pro de mejorar la comodidad pero ya esta marca queda descartada de acuerdo con tus comentarios. Espero que si decides volver a visitarnos la experiencia sea mejor!

Great place to stay near the airport! Safe location, lovely complex! Aaron was always responsive and helpful! Great price, would definitely stay again!

Location is great, place seems quite new, safe, high-end. Guard at gates entrance at all times. Be aware the second bedroom’s two single beds is a trundle in a very small room. This was doable but a little uncomfortable for my young adult sons but quite suitable for smaller children. Also, the place will be much easier to access once the significant construction on the road near the mall that leads to the airport is complete. At this time, the construction adds maybe a couple minutes to drive time but it’s not bad at all.

Aaron’s place is great value for the rate we paid. It’s $10 cheaper per night for a similar unit in the same condominium. The place is huge for just me and my husband. The furnitures, appliances and utensils are modern and good quality. The place is clean and tidy. Aaron has great communication and very responsive. Great location, near City Mall and airport. We felt very safe since it is gated and we have a free parking spot for our rental car. The only minor issue we had is that the bathroom floor always becomes wet when you shower. However, there is a mop to dry the floor so it wasn’t a big deal for us. We highly recommend Aaron’s place.

Aaron’s place was as pictured. Modern condo in downtown Alajuela close to the airport. Walking distance to the mall and nice amenities such as pool and gym. Aaron was very responsive and great host. Thanks. Would stay again for sure.
