Birdsong Balcony – Walk to Reserves & Coffee - Apartments for Rent in Monte Verde, Puntarenas, Monteverde, Santa Elena, Costa Rica

Great stay. Very nice accommodation with lots of windows in a beautiful setting. We saw several animals there that we hadn't been able to see in the parks. The hostess was very responsive and helpful in her responses. A favorite from our stay in Costa Rica

Super séjour. Très joli logement très fenestré sur un environnement magnifique. On y a vu plusieurs animaux qu'on n'avait pas réussi à voir dans les parcs. L'hôtesse était très réactivé et aidant dans ses réponses. Un coup de coeur de notre séjour au Costa Rica

The appartement is located in a very peaceful area close to the cloud forest preserve. Myriam and Jorge left a trove of informations in a binder in the appartement making our stay both easier and enjoyable. We felt very safe, it was very clean and functional.

We really enjoyed our time at Myriam’s place.  Close to a lot of outdoor activities.

Thank you Jose. We are glad you enjoyed our place and the proximity to Monteverde’s activities. We hope you will visit again.

The view from the balcony and sleeping room(s) is great! The kitchen is well equipped and there are also nice restaurants in walking distance. Communication with Jorge & Myriam was good; we got quite some recommendations for activities. All in all Monteverde is a great place to stay and we‘d love to come back one day!

The place was very cozy and close to a lot of restaurants and coffee shops, only a 10 min drive to the monteverde cloud forest. It was very peaceful in the evenings, and the host was very helpful with local recs.

Thank you so much, Sammi! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the cozy apartment, the peaceful evenings, and being so close to the restaurants, coffee shops, and the cloud forest. It’s wonderful to hear our local recommendations helped you make the most of your visit. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in Monteverde! Warmly, Myriam & Jorge

Loved the location of this apartment. Surrounded by trees and birds but walkable to a few restaurants, coffee shops and several reserves. Super helpful local recommendations. Quick drive to groceries and shops. Had a lovely and relaxing stay.

Thank you very much Carlo. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and could enjoy Monteverde. We hope to see you again.

Very beautiful place to stay and responsive hosts. Would definitely stay again!

Christian, We are glad you liked our place and enjoyed visiting Monteverde.

Our family had a great stay here. The location was extremely peaceful and we could enjoy amazing sunsets on the balcony. The washer and dryer, and some toys and children books make this the perfect stay for a family. Myriam and Jorge are very friendly and helpful. Recommended!

Thank you so much, Sara! We’re really happy your family had such a peaceful stay—and that you caught those balcony sunsets (they’re our favorite too). I’m glad the washer/dryer and the kids’ books and toys were helpful for your trip. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back! Myriam and Jorge

This was the perfect Airbnb for us in Monteverde.  The location being near a couple of good places to eat and a small co-op grocery store selling local and other fresh foods was a bonus.  These were all walkable from the house.  We were also very close to the Curi Cancha reserve which I would recommend.  We were also close enough in town to have someone pick us up for a night tour.  The windows and views were amazing as well as the sunset view from the balcony.  We stayed three nights, but I wish we had stayed one more so we could do more of the things on our list in Monteverde.

I would recommend this apartment for your Monte verde adventure! It was centrally located and most tours will pick you up right down the street at a local bakery/restaurant. The place was clean and very safe and secure.

Nice  & clean flat in the middle of the nature. Jorge is a great host, very helpful in everything.  including, advice in site seeing, travels and culinary places to visit.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Wayel! We’re glad you enjoyed the clean, comfortable flat surrounded by nature. Jorge was happy to help with tips for sightseeing, travel, and great places to eat. We’d be delighted to host you again anytime you return to Monteverde! Warmly, Myriam & Jorge

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property and would book it again at any time, but would stay longer next time (we stayed there for 3 nights). In the apartment, there is everything you need (we cooked / ate there). Myriam and Jose are very friendly and accommodating and always willing to help. Everything was great all around!

Wir haben die Tage in der Unterkunft sehr genossen und würden diese jederzeit wieder buchen, aber nächstes Mal länger bleiben (wir waren 3 Nächte dort). In der Wohnung gibt es alles was man brauch (wir haben dort gekocht / gegessen). Myriam und Jose sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und jederzeit bemüht zu helfen. Rundum alles super!

Great place to stay to explore Monteverde. Perfectly located for excursions; a car is an advantage. Very nice hosts with great tips for things to do and restaurants. Thank you for a great stay with you!

Tolle Unterkunft um Monteverde zu erkunden. Liegt perfekt für Ausflüge, Auto von Vorteil. Sehr nette Gastgeber mit tollen Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants. Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt bei euch!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Robin! We’re happy you found the apartment a great base for exploring Monteverde and that the location worked well for your excursions. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re glad our tips for activities and restaurants were helpful. You’re very welcome back anytime! Warmly, Myriam & Jorge

The apartment is great; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is idyllically located on the edge of the national park, and from the balcony, you can observe birds, armadillos, coatis, and other animals. The apartment is well equipped, and the national parks and the city are within easy reach.

die Wohnung ist toll, wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Wohnung liegt idyllisch am Rand des Nationalparks und vom Balkon aus kann man Vögel, Gürteltiere, Nasenbären und andere Tiere beobachten. Die Wohnung ist super ausgestattet und die Nationalparks sowie die Stadt sind schnell erreichbar.

This space is a little slice of heaven conveniently tucked away from the busy areas of Monteverde. Check in and check out instructions clear and easy. Upon our arrival it took us less than a minute to realize how special of a property we went to. Whether it’s spotting monkeys, birds or a wide variety of trees on the property we were in awe our entire visit. Thank you for having us!

we had a great stay. The location was perfect, quiet end of town with 2 fabulous coffee shops within walking distance. Few minor issues but they got back to us right away and solved the issue. Thanks so much h

Great hosts, great place. I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Monte Verde.

Tolle Gastgeber, tolle Unterkunft. Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen, wenn man nach Monte Verde kommt.

Amazing! Myriam’s was all that she said. It felt private and very peaceful. Perfect for a family of 4-or 2 couples. The porch looking out was a bonus. Perfect spot to sit in the evenings to listen to the birds and a cup of coffee in the mornings. We loved the location. A little ways down from downtown and right next to Stella’s very good breakfast! Highly recommend this AirBnb if you are visiting Monteverde!

The location is near several places of interest. With 2 restaurants, a coffee shop and a mini wholefood market with good selections within walking distance. The view from the apartment is very good and quiet. There are lots of birds and some wild life on the property. The patio was nice to relax in.

We loved our stay at Miriam’s place.  It was a great location with beautiful surroundings. We saw Monkeys in our first night  The  place had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. It was quiet,  peaceful and secure. Highly recommend.

Everything was great. The apartment was easy to get to, and the view was fantastic.

Alles war super. Die Wohnung war gut zu erreichen, der Ausblick traumhaft.

Myriam’s apartment was perfect for our stay.  It’s walking distance to Curi Cancha, a small market and a few places to eat.  It had everything we needed and was very peaceful.

Miriam’s place was beautiful, peaceful, and tucked right into the trees — exactly what we hoped for in Monteverde. We loved seeing monkeys moving through the trees and watching lightning bugs as we drifted off to sleep. The views were incredible. The location was perfect — just a short drive to the cloud forest reserve, and shops and restaurants were within walking distance on an actual sidewalk (a rare luxury in Costa Rica!). We also loved the coffee bushes in the yard — such a cool touch. The home was very well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d happily stay here again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Carol! I’m thrilled you found the home peaceful and tucked into the trees—those monkeys and evening lightning bugs really do make it feel magical. I’m also glad the location and walkability made exploring Monteverde easy, and that you enjoyed the coffee plants in the yard. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’d be very welcome anytime you’re back in Monteverde! Warmly, Myriam

We had a lovely stay here, Jorge was a very welcoming and had great suggestions of things to do. They booked us onto a great night walk and arranged for a brilliant guide to take us to the cloud forest. The apartment was well equipped and has beautiful views. It was great seeing the mountains monkeys in the trees right by us at certain times of the day. Thank you for a great stay.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review, Hannah! We’re so happy you had a lovely stay and that Jorge’s suggestions—and help booking the night walk and cloud forest guide—made your visit even more special. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views and the monkeys nearby, and that the apartment felt well equipped and comfortable. You were a pleasure to host, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! Warmly, Myriam

When we opened the door, it was like coming home. You immediately felt at home. Everyone rushed straight to the windows that gave you a great view. The atmosphere, the size of the rooms, the amenities and the quality convinced me so much that we made two days out of one day. The surroundings were fantastic as well as the view. On the last afternoon we even got a visit from a monkey and a coati. My children were overjoyed. If I were here again in the region, this would be my first place where I wanted to stay! Just perfect!👌

Als wir die Türe öffneten, war es als kommt man nach Hause. Man fühlte sich sofort wohl. Alle stürmten direkt zu den Fenstern die einem einen tollen Ausblick schenkten. Die Atmosphäre, die Größe der Zimmer, die Ausstattung und die Qualität haben mich so sehr überzeugt, dass wir aus einem Tag, zwei Tage machten. Die Umgebung war traumhaft genauso wie der Ausblick. Am letzten Nachmittag bekamen wir sogar Besuch von einem Affen und einem Nasenbär. Meine Kinder waren außer sich vor Freude. Wäre ich nochmals hier in der Region wäre dies meine erste Stelle wo ich übernachten wollte! Einfach perfekt!👌

I would have given all 5 stars with one exception that being there was no central heat. Although there was a space heater available but power went out 2 mornings so apt was quite cool

Miriam and Jorge’s place is really the epitome of what an Airbnb should be. Local ownership with deep roots in the community. Pride and care for the community in which they live. And a genuine desire for their guests to have a great stay and a great experience. It is hard to know where to begin. Location is private, yet walkable to restaurants, trails, and the “Whole Foods” of Monte verde. The apt was amazing. We literally watched the monkeys in the trees while still in bed in the morning. The coffee that was provided was some of the best we’ve ever had. And Jorge went above and beyond to line us out on some very cool, off the beaten path exploration. The best part of his advice was how to take a short cut from Monte verde to La Fortuna. Sure you got to ford four rivers but you save a couple hours. Good times were had by all! I hope I make it back again one day.

A place to stay that didn't leave us indifferent! We loved the experience of being surrounded by nature and having our coffee in the morning with the monkeys, a truly magical moment!! The large windows of the accommodation make us feel like we are outside in every room, which makes the experience even more immersive. We were traveling with our 3 1/2 year-old child and the stay went wonderfully. The place is welcoming, safe and very pleasant with the family. Close to everything, very well located. Everything was very clean and all the necessary amenities are there. The arrival was clear and simple. The owners live nearby, are very available when needed and respond quickly. A unique and memorable experience that we would recommend without hesitation! Thanks again, much appreciated

Un logement qui ne nous a pas laissés indifférents ! Nous avons adoré l’expérience d’être entourés par la nature et de prendre notre café le matin en compagnie des singes, un vrai moment magique!! Les grandes fenêtres du logement nous donnent l’impression d’être à l’extérieur dans chaque pièce, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus immersive. Nous voyagions avec notre enfant de 3 ans 1/2 et le séjour s’est déroulé à merveille. L’endroit est accueillant, sécuritaire et très agréable en famille. Proche de tous très bien situé. Tout était très propre et toutes les commodités nécessaires y sont. L’arrivée était claire et simple. Les propriétaires demeurent tout près, sont très disponibles en cas de besoin et répondent rapidement. Une expérience unique et mémorable que nous recommandons sans hésiter! Encore un gros merci

Thank you so much for this lovely review! We’re truly happy you had such a memorable stay—and that those peaceful morning coffees with the monkeys became a highlight. That “surrounded by nature” feeling is exactly what we hope guests experience, especially with the big windows bringing the forest right into every room. We’re also really glad to hear the apartment felt welcoming, safe, and comfortable for your family (and your 3.5-year-old!), and that everything was clean and easy from arrival to checkout. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back to Monteverde. Warmly, Myriam

We loved our stay at Myriam's place in Monteverde. Amazing birdwatching right from the balcony, monkeys right in the yard, and a walkable distance from a great little grocery store, coffee shops and a ton of the trails. The appartment was perfect for our family of 4.

Great stay for our family of 4. The place was compact but had everything we needed and more. We did a short stay and didn’t take advantage of our hosts expertise but they were very available and accommodating. The view from the balcony was amazing.

Thank you so much, Laurie. We’re really glad the space worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the view from the balcony. Even on a short stay, it was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime you’re in Monteverde again.

Great place to stay in Monte verde. Clean, quiet and close to main attractions

We like the location, quiet and convenient. Most tour shuttle has the stop at Stella’s bakery which is right outside the Airbnb. We are lucky to have a ride with Myriam to the downtown on the first night got here. Thank you!

Very happy with my stay at Myriam’s apartment. Property was very peaceful, quiet yet very close to good restaurants and the reserves. Apartment was very accommodating with laundry available and a beautiful patio overlooking the yard. Would love to stay here again!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to relax in our space. We also hope to have you visit again.

Wonderful place to stay. Beautiful view. We saw nose bears, agouti, armadillos, squirrels and monkeys on the premises😍. Own car is useful if you want to eat out in the evening.  (restaurants at airbnb close at 6pm, but you can order take-out)

Heerlijke plek om te verblijven. Mooi uitzicht. We zagen neusbeertjes,  agouti, gordeldieren, eekhoorns en apen op het terrein 😍. Eigen auto is handig als je savonds uit eten wil.  (restaurants bij airbnb sluiten om 18.00, maar je kan wel take-out bestellen)

Very well located to have access to restaurants and places to visit. The place feels safe and is surrounded by forest. It has what you need to have a good stay.

Muy bien ubicado para tener acceso a restaurantes y sitios para visitar. El lugar se siente seguro y está rodeado de bosque. Cuenta con lo necesario para tener una buena estadía.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The balcony is the true highlight—perfect for watching wildlife. We spotted 54 bird species on the property, including the charismatic Three-wattled Bellbird, watched a troop of nine monkeys, and even saw a compost-diving coati—all from the comfort of the balcony. The hosts were fantastic at communicating, and the lodging was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. All the amenities and equipment worked perfectly, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals for a week. There’s also a small grocery and bakery conveniently located across the street. The location is excellent—within a 10-minute walk you’ll find Curi Cancha Reserve, Bajo del Tigre, the Monteverde Waterfall, and the Crandall Reserve, which is accessible directly from the property. There is some occasional road noise from motorcycles and milk trucks, but the incredible wildlife and comfort more than make up for it. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a front-row seat

Thank you for staying with us and enjoying our surroundings. Wishing you well

Ideal location to rest without external elements that interfere with the serenity of the place, relaxing, spacious, beautiful views. A strategic location and easy to relax and visit nearby places to venture into the mountains. Very natural space 🙏

Ubicación ideal para descansar sin elementos externos que interfieran con la serenidad del lugar, relajante, espacioso, hermosas vistas. Ubicación estratégica y facilidad para relajarse y visitar sitios cercanos para aventurarse en Montañas . Espacio muy natural 🙏

Very nice apartment, with a nice view and a lot of privacy

Muy lindo apartamento, con linda vista y mucha privacidad

This airbnb was very comfortable, beds were great. No need for A/C  as the temperatures were nice and cool in evenings. You could sleep with windows open as there were screens. It was not near the center of town but there is a bus. We walked to the center of town but if you have mobility issues, the bus would be better. It was peaceful and quiet.

Beautiful, well-kept accommodation. Quietly located in nature and yet centrally located to reach restaurants and some good reserves.

Schöne, gepflegte Unterkunft. Liegt ruhig in der Natur und trotzdem zentral, um Restaurants und einige gute Reservate zu erreichen.

Really cute place! Jorge and Miriam were really responsive. The place is super gorgeous and cozy and at a good location. Would recommend!

So glad you enjoyed your visit. We are glad we were able to help answer your questions too.

We had an amazing stay at Myriam and Jorge's place. The place is beautiful, very comfortable, well equipped and has great views from bedrooms, kitchen and terrace. The instructions for both finding the place and checking in were very clear. Myriam and Jorge were easy to communicate with. The place is in a great location to visit all the Monteverde/ Santa Elena parks and activities. Loved that the coop was just across the street and that they were composting. Would definitely book again if i travel there again.

It was great. Just be careful not to leave ur windows open. The monkeys will get in and steal ur food

Our stay in this apartment in Monteverde was excellent. From the first moment, we felt very comfortable. The location is perfect as a starting point to explore the area as it allowed us to easily access all the activities and excursions we wanted to do. The apartment was clean, intimate, well equipped and with everything you need for a pleasant stay. Jorge, our host was always attentive and willing to help, he gave us valuable recommendations on what to see, where to eat, thanks to his advice we discovered what was the best option for us.

Nuestra estancia en este apartamento en Monteverde fue excelente. Desde el primer momento, nos sentimos muy cómodos. La ubicación es perfecta como punto de partida para explorar la zona, ya que nos permitió acceder fácilmente a todas las actividades y excursiones que queríamos hacer. El apartamento estaba limpio, íntimo, bien equipado y con todo lo necesario para una estancia agradable. Jorge, nuestro anfitrión estuvo siempre atento y dispuesto a ayudar, nos brindó recomendaciones valiosas sobre qué ver, dónde comer, gracias a sus consejos descubrimos cuál era la mejor opción para nosotros.

This lovely place in the jungle is delightful, just a minute's walk down the road to Stella's (friendly delicious breakfast/brunch place), and near great reserves where we had a fantastic birdwatching tour.  (Ask Fabricio at Stella's for Danny Vargas' information - great birdwatching tour guide).  Miriam and Jorge are incredibly gracious hosts.  Highly recommend.

Very nice location, ideal for trips to Reserva Monteverde, Curicancha, Sta Elena. Local bus passes close by several times a day. 2 restaurants nearby - I recommend the restaurant de los abuelitas. Well-equipped kitchen, bathroom and beautiful bedrooms. Myriam helped us with a small problem right away. Thank you!

Sehr schöne Lage, ideal für Ausflüge nach Reserva Monteverde, Curicancha, Sta Elena. Lokaler Bus fährt mehrmals täglich nahe vorbei. 2Restaurants in Nähe - ich empfehle das Restaurant de los abuelitas. Gut eingerichtete Küche, Bad und schöne Schlafzimmer. Myriam half uns bei einem kleinen Problem sofort. Danke!

Beautiful viewpoint, close to very interesting nature reserves to visit as well as close to restaurants and grocery stores!  Ideal also for watching monkeys. A little rustic as a place a few improvements could improve the experience! Generally enjoyable.

Beau point de vue, à proximité de réserves naturelles très intéressantes à visiter ainsi qu’à proximité de restaurants et épiceries!  Idéal aussi pour observer des singes. Un peu rustique comme logement quelques améliorations pourraient bonifier l’expérience! Généralement agréable.

Thank you Elise for your visit and for the feedback. Rest assured that we are looking at your suggestions to improve the quality of stay for future guests. Great feedback.

You can’t miss the attention to detail in the apartment! The hosts really provided everything we needed and more. The apartment is very comfortable with a great location. We saw so much wildlife from the balcony!

Beautiful place near a lot of activities. The place is no longer contactless entry as you need a key to open the gate to enter. There is no key code. The host who greeted us was very friendly.

Perfect for a family of four with two young kids. Loved the area. Myriam and Jorge were responsive and helpful.

Great place. Has everything you need. Thank you!

Tolle Unterkunft. Hat alles was man braucht. Vielen Dank!

My party had a great time at the Fig House in Monteverde. There were a few restaurants and market with 150 meters of the residence. Myriam was accurately describe the location and made check in easy. In the AirBnB, theres a binder with a ton of recommendations for the area. The balcony was a nice touch and very beautiful! The only cons for this listing was my party did encounter quite a bit of ants. I had to actually throw my toothbrush and a half a bag of chips away. Recommend not to leave any food or moist on surfaces to avoid ants. I told Myriam about them and she working on getting them resolved so may not be an issue in the future. Lastly, the listing doesn't include a television so it may just be something to think about when booking. Other than that, we had a good time as the residence is a nice private oasis.

Let me start by saying that we came at the very end of November which is the end of rainy season. The rain made the roads from La Fortuna to Monteverde a challenge we quickly found out that Ways is the best way to navigate through Costa Rica. There were many pot holes to Monteverde,steep inclines and curves but some of the most spectacular views of the country side. We found our Air BNB no problem our host gave us great directions.They also help to guide us on thing to do and see around Monteverde. The apartment/flat was in a great location and close to alot of excursions was not directly in central Monteverde but maybe 5 minutes from central Monteverde. The apartment gave us more of a rustic cabin vibes and was situated at the edge of a forest reserve. I think for us the bedding and the moisture from all the rain made this space more difficult to fully enjoy but we only had one night and we made the most of it.

Enjoyed a few very rainy days here. Easy to check in and Myriam provided detailed instructions and photos to help us navigate to the house. On our last morning we walked down to Stella’s for a very enjoyable breakfast. This place is a great location for exploring the cloud forest. Most importantly Myriam was very responsive on our check out morning when we expressed concern about navigating our way out of Monteverde with the excessive rain all of CR was having. She provided extremely helpful information on current route conditions and recommended a specific route that helped us get out of there safely and easily.

The apartment is  very located at Curi-Cancha Park and two good cafes. It has a very nice terrace. All rooms have very large windows. You can look at the nature. There were once capuchin monkeys. The decor is a little old. In particular, the bathroom is  in need of renovation. On site, you will be asked in a notice to only wash laundry once in a 3 day stay.

Die Wohnung liegt  sehr am Curi-Cancha-Park und zwei guten Cafés. Sie hat eine sehr schöne Terasse. Alle Zimmer haben sehr große Fenster. Man kann schön in die Natur schauen. Es waren einmal Kapuzineraffen da. Die Einrichtung ist etwas alt. Insbesondere das Bad ist  sanierungsbedürftig. Vor Ort wird man in einem Aushang gebeten, bei 3 Tagen Aufenthalt nur  mal ein mal Wäsche zu waschen.

Great place to stay! It’s so convenient if you are visiting the Monte verde nature preserve and to and from Santa Elena. The bus is meters away in front of the bakery. We also got to see black and white monkeys on a tree by the front gate. I would love to stay there again!

Muriel's place was a little slice of heaven.  The location was perfect.  It was very close to Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and other attractions such as the Bat Jungle, Monteverde Waterfall, and the Children's Eternal Rainforest.  We were able to easily walk to places to eat, peruse local art, and drink amazing coffee!  It was also convenient in that you could feel like you were away from the hustle and bustle of the city center of Monteverde, but you were really only a few minute drive away.  Would stay here again!

We spent 3 nights in Myriam and Jorge's place, in order to visit the Monteverde Biological Reserve which is a short drive away. The apartment is really charming and very pleasant to stay in. Its height position and the large windows in the bedrooms and the living room offer a beautiful view, at the height of the clouds. It's pretty striking from the bedroom with the terrace. On the other side, the windows overlook the forest and we had an animal festival just a few meters from our eyes: Capuchins, coati with white nose, toucan, hummingbird, butterflies (including the blue morpho that welcomes you as soon as you arrive). The place is really enchanting! A few shops are within walking distance 1 minute from the apartment, and the area has many activities. We are delighted with this stay, and 3 days were way too short!

Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans le logement de Myriam et Jorge, afin de visiter la réserve biologique de Monteverde qui est à quelques minutes en voiture. L’appartement est vraiment charmant et très agréable à vivre. Sa position en hauteur et les grands fenêtres dans les chambres et le séjour offrent une très belle vue, à hauteur des nuages. C’est assez saisissant depuis la chambre avec la terrasse. De l’autre côté, les fenêtres donnent sur la forêt et nous avons eu droit à un festival d’animaux à seulement quelques mètres de nos yeux : capucins, coati a nez blanc, toucan, colibri, papillons (dont le morpho bleu qui vous accueille dès votre arrivée). L’endroit est vraiment enchanteur ! Quelques commerces sont accessibles à pied à 1 minute de l’appartement, et la région comporte de nombreuses activités. Nous sommes ravis de ce séjour, et 3 jours étaient bien trop courts !

Read her instructions on how to find the rental and you will be just fine. It helped us tremendously

We were immediately welcomed by wildlife which is exactly what we'd hoped for.  We spent one morning watching capuchin monkeys, a coati, and an agouti and parrots our last morning.  Be careful not to leave food out and avoid crumbs to prevent ants. Overall we loved the place, the surroundings and the locals!! Thank you!!

We loved the location of the house. It was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the sounds of the forest and watching birds early in the morning. Being within walking distance to Stella's and the market across the street was great, as we did not have a car (also, there is a sidewalk running all through Monteverde, which is lovely and makes it a pleasant walk to all of the nearby attractions). There is also a bus that runs regularly between Santa Elena and the Cloud Forest Reserve, which stops right in front of Stella's. Beds were comfortable, it was quiet and we slept really well. Jorge and Myriam were responsive and were kind to allow us to check in early on our first day. It was really nice to have laundry, and the kitchen had most of what we needed to make simple meals.

Myriam’s place was fantastic for my friend and I. Two private bedrooms on opposite sides of the house so we each had our own space. Walking down the road (two minutes) in the morning, getting coffee and things to cook for breakfast, and eating on the deck was a lively way to start the day! Myriam was very responsive and even told us about some fun things going on in town. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing location! We saw monkeys and toucans right outside the window. Nice view over the town. The place was clean. Nice to have the option for a load of laundry. Stella’s restaurant was a short walk away. Felt very safe. The main bed seemed maybe a little smaller than a queen was very squeaky and not that comfortable. Still had a great stay.

Amazing location with lots of restaurants and a waterfall all within walking distance.

We loved this place and the tranquility of the deck and the sunset views. It helped having a car to get to the centre of town but there were great local restaurants too.

Beautiful views from every room and the balcony. Feels like a tree house! Many birds in the trees surrounding the apartment.

We arrived at the third-floor apartment right at Sunset, which was the perfect time - absolutely stunning from the outdoor patio and windows throughout the apartment. The apartment was well furnished, and had everything we needed from extra towels and blankets to the cozy couch and even a few toys which entertained our 6 year old! Instructions for finding the apartment and checking in were great and included photos sent the day before check in. The first night there was a lot of strong wind that kept us awake a bit but the second night was calm and peaceful. We also loved the location as it is walkable to a delicious bakery, coffee shop, grocery, and restaurant. Thanks for a great stay!

This location was great to walk to Stella’s, Monteverde Coffee shop, Bat Jungle, Cafe Cabure etc.   We enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching the birds.    We saw toucans, motmots, toucanets and more from the deck.   The pictures are accurate and we found the beds very comfortable.   We prepared simple breakfasts in the kitchen and ate lunch and supper at various restaurants in the area.     We would stay here again.

Beautiful place in beautiful surroundings! And the hosts were great.

Amazing view from the balcony! Kolibiri visiting, monkeys over the cottage through the tree and many other birds in the afternoon. Extremely nice place with lovely view. The apartment is somewhat dated but clean. Cons: The shower is not easy to regulate in terms of temperature and is constantly changing. The beds and pillows are not very comfortable, but that may also be personal dependent.

Prachtig uitzicht vanaf het balkon! Kolibiri op bezoek, apen in de namiddag over het huisje via de boom en vele andere vogels. Ontzettend leuke plek met mooi uitzicht. Het appartement is wat gedateerd, maar schoon. Verbeterpunten: de douche is niet goed te reguleren qua temperatuur en verandert continu. De bedden en kussens zijn niet erg comfortabel, maar dat is wellicht ook persoonsafhankelijk.

Myriam’s place was an absolute gem. We saw monkeys in the trees surrounding the place, it was near amazing coffee/cafes, and only 10 minutes driving distance from the cloud forest. In addition, Myriam and Jorge were very quick to respond to our questions and even sent us information about local live music!

The place was well located a little away from the center of Santa Elena, which brought tranquility. The apartment was clean, good size for our family. The hosts provided us with a crib, which was very helpful. We had recommendations from Myriam and Jorge, thank you! It is a perfect place to settle in for a few days and enjoy the city in the tranquility of nature. We would return without hesitation.

L'endroit était bien situé un peu à l'écart du centre de Santa Elena, ce qui emmenait une tranquillité. L'appartement était propre, de bonne dimension pour notre famille. Les hôtes nous on mis à notre disposition un lit pour bébé, ce qui nous a été très utile. Nous avons eu des recommandations de Myriam et Jorge, merci! C'est un endroit parfait pour s'y déposer quelques jours et profiter de la ville dans la tranquillité de la nature. Nous y retournerions sans hésiter.

Myriam and Jorge’s place is absolutely lovely! The location is fantastic - right around the corner/very walkable to few great eateries; short walks bring you to the Children’s Eternal Rainforest (~500m) and Curi Cancha reserve (~400m). A short drive up the hill takes you to Santa Elena. The apartment itself is well-stocked. Myriam & Jorge were proactively and consistently communicative. 10/10 - would definitely visit again (and hope to!).

Beautiful location, private, and just up the road from several coffee shops, restaurants, art galleries, and grocery stores. There are hiking trails nearby as well. There were extra blankets and towels available which was nice. We were able to cool a few meals in the kitchen, although there were no baking sheets/pans to cook something in the oven. Overall, a really unique place to stay that exceeded expectations!

Everything was great. Very friendly landlords, great location

Alles war super. Sehr freundliche Vermieter, tolle Lage

The Fig Tree was a great location for active people!  It is a nice walk to central Santa Elena and Montverde.  We had a rental car to get us to all the activities we planned.  The beds were comfortable and the sunset amazing from canopy level.  We could have used some more and newer pans/potsfor cooking.

A beautiful, cozy apartment with great views. The communication with Jorge and Myriam worked great, as did the self check-in and check-out, this helps to be flexible. The location is great! The national park is very nearby, various restaurants are within walking distance. And yet you are a little outside the hustle and bustle of Santa Elena. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. We felt the stay was very pleasant.

Ein wunderschönes, gemütliches Appartement mit einer tollen Aussicht. Die Kommunikation mit Jorge und Myriam hat super funktioniert, genauso der selbstständige CheckIn und CheckOut, dies hilft, flexibel zu sein. Die Lage ist top! Der Nationalpark ist sehr nah, diverse Restaurantes sind fussläufig zu erreichen. Und doch ist man etwas ausserhalb des Trubels von Santa Elena. Die Küche ist mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Wir haben den Aufenthalt als sehr angenehm empfunden.

Beautiful place overlooking the trees of Monteverde. Lots of birds and monkeys right by the house.

Wunderschöner Ort mit Blick über die Bäume von Monteverde. Sehr viele Vögel und Affen direkt am Haus.

We had a great time in the apartment.  The location is excellent and a short distance from many great destinations.  We had monkeys visit us multiple times, and Stella’s is a short walk away.

Enjoyed the location, in the heart of Monteverde, but away from the bustle of Santa Elena.  Local shop and great local restaurants for breakfast/lunch.  Easy walking distance to Curi concha and Crandell reserves

We really enjoyed our stay and it was the perfect little place to start our vacation. Waking up in the ‘treetops’ was the best part. The views are on two sides from the main bedroom and so calming. Being on the third floor was the best spot in the ‘apartment complex’. The wind in the area was very intense and loud, so bring ear plugs as it rattles the whole place. The location was great. The bird and monkey sightings at Stella’s bakery right near the house was a good way to start the morning. The foam pillows and bedding were amazing. The kids were comfortable and liked the kid bin of toys provided. The traditional style drip coffee was delicious. Parking was confusing as there are three separate units/renters in the house, but totally workable. We checked ourselves in and came and went no problem. The area has so many options for activities and eating.

Amazing location to visit the sights in Monteverde!

Worth every penny! The view is absolutely stunning. Spending time on the deck was so nice, having coffee and watching/listening to the birds. It was close to everything! Easy to find and although there is an unpaved, slightly graded entry road, it was easy to get to. Safe for a solo, female traveler! Spotless, comfortable, gorgeous. I would absolutely stay here again (and plan to!)

it was fun to be in the canopy with monkies for neighbors.  The view from the balcony was fabulous. Easy access to Stellas Bakery and a small grocery were very helpful too.

Location is lovely and peaceful. Airbnb has all amenities needed for a stay. Difficult to get to if don't have a car, especially as there is a gravel hill to walk up which wasn't mentioned on the listing- not great as we had large suitcases to carry up. Can walk into main town of Santa Elena in under 30minutes which is handy. Monteverde Cloud Forest is closeby.

Nice, quite place close to Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Beautiful view from the balcony. Monkeys jumping around in the morning. Fresh air with open windows at night. Dirt road up the hill leading to the house, have a sturdy car. Nice touch of a welcome... zucchini bread left by the host.

What a wonderful place to stay. Perfect for our family of 4. Close to the Monteverde cloud forest biological preserve, a few steps from a couple great restaurants/shops, and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Santa Elena. White faced capuchin monkeys visit the property. Jorge and Myriam are wonderful, friendly and responsive hosts. On our last night our unit lost electricity and they responded immediately and moved us to another unit. We would stay here again without hesitation.

We had a lovely stay at this apartment that matches the photos. He is very pleasant to live. The owner, very kind, came to meet us to give us lots of advice. It is 2.5 km from the Curi Cancha Reserve. Apartment to recommend.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet appartement qui correspond aux photos. Il est très agréable à vivre. Le propriétaire, très gentil, est venu nous rencontrer afin de nous donner plein de conseils. Il se trouve à 2.5 kms de la réserve Curi Cancha. Appartement à conseiller.

Nice stay, good reception from Jorge , very good explanations of the area and the activities to do . Nice view from the master bedroom and the balcony .

Estancia agradable , buena acogida de Jorge , muy buenas explicaciones de la zona y de las actividades para hacer . Bonitas vistas desde la habitación principal y desde el balcón .

This place was great! Spider monkeys practically greeting us the first day! And visited again. It’s very close to restaurants and the children’s eternal forest but remote. The last part of the road to get there is unpaved, steep and treacherous. Some more gravel might help. I don’t know if a sedan could make it the last leg, fortunately I had a 4x4. I highly recommend just bring ear plugs bc you hear birds, roosters, and monkeys at first light.

We had a great stay at Myriam's.  Our daughter loved how we were greeted by monkeys above the awning of the front door and we all enjoyed every morning to waking up to a rainbow.  Weather was on the cooler side, but we were still able to enjoy some time on the balcony with the beautiful views.  Our first night it was quite chilly, but Myriam did let us know where we could fine extra blankets.  We also appreciated Myriam dropping by with a banana bread from a local bakery and how responsive both Myriam and Jorge were both before and during our stay.  We definitely recommend to others a stay here when in the Monteverde area.
