Julie

Thanks so much for a beautiful stay on your school bus! To set realistic expectations, this is a former hippie community, nestled in a jungle garden setting and everything is open to the elements to some degree, so things are a bit “rustic”- go prepared to get back to nature! It’s also advisable to have transport as it’s fairly remote, though there is a small local pizza bar within walking distance. That said, Julie was the most amazing host and a beautiful person. She happily gave me a cheap ride to where I wanted to go and came to pick me up when I was done. The more set back location makes it a lovely peaceful place to slow down. I was the only guest at the time but its origins mean it is set up to be the ideal place for socialising during busier times. Whiskers the kitten was perfect company! There were 2 fans on the bus and the shade of the trees in the garden meant the place was comfortable even in the Ometepe heat. Also highly recommend trying Julie’s delicious kombucha!

The stay at Julie's place was wonderful. The area is quiet, the place is clean, and the buses make for a unique experience. A great place for anyone who wants to relax and get closer to nature. However, a scooter or motorcycle is recommended, as the routes are otherwise quite challenging by bike. All in all, I can highly recommend the property!
