Its location is a centric downtown that you can reach out a lot of points of inrerest with easy metro connections.
The apartment was not a 5 star hotel but it had most of everything that I needed during the stay.
And the Sohpia restaurant next to the apartment served Turkish-mediterranian foods that would remind me the past travels in Istanbul.
The staffs were kind and professional.
I will stay here again when I have a chance in the future.

Apartamento con buen gusto, 2 habitaciones ubicado arriba de Restaurante Sofía (muy rico por cierto), tiene todo lo necesario (lavadora / secadora, TV con cable, Netflix etc), todo en buen estado y excelente atención. El tren pasa a 100m, puedes escucharlo por la mañana.

This is a fully furnished property in one of the best locations in the city, especially if you are looking for great food. Not to mention, the restaurant downstairs named Sofia Restaurante Mediterraneo (someone told me that it is also owned by the same person) has 5-star food. The room has everything from shampoo to artistically hung paintings against the walls, from appliances to Roku. All essential needs are walking distance. Very clean, safe and large property; easy check in and out; promptly responding management; everything I was looking for was there. I would stay here once more when I re-visit San José. Great job!

The host was very helpful with the prompt communication. All check-in and check-out info was perfect. We found ourselves in a top floor apartment with view and it was loaded with amenities as described. The location of the flat was within walking distance of all our needs. The neighborhood is full of restaurants. But conveniently Restaurant Sofia at the building entrance was very goo and the offered us 10 % discount. We also used another convenient bakery nearby called Pandeli for delicious breakfast. We will be back.
