Excellent, 7 months ago

Quiet neighbourhood near the airport. I needed a night's rest before an early flight the next day. Olga's place checked all the boxes. Grocery store and restaurants nearby. Thanks, Olga!

I did not spend much time with Olga and in her I made a friend. She met me at check in and check out and messaged throughout the stay to see if I needed anything. I love the location, walked to the beach every morning past a convenience store and fruit store. I enjoyed the outdoor shower and cold showers were refreshing. loved having the set up to handwash my clothes and the rocking chairs on the front porch. The bed is super comfortable. I look forward to returning!

Gracias Su, el buen sentimiento es mutuo . Un abrazo

I had a great stay at Olga's place. The apartment is as looked in the photos and was very clean, very quiet, and safe. I do online work and the internet worked perfectly for streaming and Zoom sessions. The kitchen was well stocked with items for cooking and I really liked that there is a small area to hand wash and hang clothes. As others have said there is no air conditioner but each of the main areas have a very good ceiling fans and well as an available floor fan so the heat was not a problem. The location of the apartment is also good being only a minutes walk to small grocery stores as well as the main Jaco Strip and beach. Olga was excellent and answered within minutes to any questions I had. I highly recommend her apartment to any visitors to Jaco.

Many pros in this affordable spot. It’s a 5 minute walk from Jaco Walk the center of town, and a 2 minute walk from a sushi restaurant and produce markets, convenience stores. There’s a big kitchen with many amenities and everything was quite clean. The high powered fans make it livable in the heat of jaco and there’s a ceiling fan right above the bed. A quiet dog named Wally greeted me every time I came back with nuzzles and tail wags (he’s an outside dog). The place has a locking gate. Make sure you read the instructions because they warn you about the Rip currents in jaco and that’s no joke. I got a lucky one while surfing but I wouldn’t want to be swimming against it! Bed is soft and cozy with good pillows which I find rare abroad. Overall a massive win at the price point. Host was very proactive and communicative with clear instructions on how to get there and get in. It’s tucked away down a block and side street from the city, which is nice.

Yes Jules, there is no A/C because having it would significantly increase the price due to electricity costs, and also as you say, the fans and windows cool enough.

Olga is such a sweet and helpful person! She let me drop my surfboards a weekend in advance so that I did not have to carry them with me and she already gave me the keys for check-in after the weekend. Also she organized that a water container of 20 liters was brought in the apartment and when one time something needed to be fixed in the apartment she immediately organized it the same day. The apartment is super spacious for a solo traveller like me and it is clean and has everything you need. I especially liked the blender :) The neighbourhood is nice and peaceful while still close to Jaco downtown and the beach. I would absolutely recommend Olga's place!
