Guest Reviews
- Lisa (10/5): -
- Panos D (10/5): Buena opción cerca del aeropuerto - Buena opción cerca del aeropuerto. Habitación comoda y limpia
- German (8/5): Nice place to stay for a short period - The location of this apartment is awesome. The staff is very friendly. The parking works, but it's small. Since it's in the heart of the city, there is some noise during the night.
- Ulices (10/5): Lovely stay just be mindful about coming in and out of the apartment because you have to go through the main house. - It was lovely. Having to go through the main house to get to the apartment felt a little intrusive for them more than me.
- Cindy (10/5): -
- Susan (5/5): Just good for 1 night stay, not for a week. - Good location. No specific street address to program into Google maps. No air conditioning. Beetle bugs everywhere on walls and floor. Fruit flies were all over our bed sheets so apparently we were sleeping with them all night. No towel handles in the bathroom so just the 1 night, we threw our towels on the floor. Kitchen garbage bin had a non functioning lid so we stuffed our food takeout garbage into the tiny bathroom garbage. The setting to adjust shower head pressure / temperature was too high up to adjust so ended up taking a cool shower. Finally, it was really awkward to use the key pass to open two gates to access room.

- Flavien (8/5): -
- Allison (8/5): - Nice and close to the airport for those flying in late at night and needing a place to quickly lay their heads They didn’t have air conditioning, but they also never claimed to.
- Elizabeth (7/5): buena ubicacion - ubicación excelente para ir al aeropuerto. servicios muy cercanos. faltaria aire acondiconado en la habitacion familiar 4 , muy calurosa y al estar abierta llena de mosquitos
- Arturo (8/5): -
- Steve (9/5): Clean and comfortable area with excellent amenities to reheat food or have breakfast before flying out. - Close to mall, airport and restaurants. Secure entrances. Written signs. I didn’t know if there was common spaces in the house I had to walk through.
- Maria Sofia (10/5): Perfecto para estadías en Alajuela - La ubicación y las instalaciones eñ general. La comunicación con los propietarios.
- Anita (10/5): - Sehr sehr süße Besitzerin! Sehr freundlich :)
Die Lage ist perfekt umgeben von Essen, Tankstelle, Supermarkt etc.
War echt top für diesen Preis , Flughafen ist ca 2km entfernt.
- Rodolpho Barillas (10/5): Excelente estadia - Jeannet una súper anfitriona, nos proporciona información puntual sobre los mejores puntos para hacer compras y poder salir a pasear, la ubicación es excelente, tienes a la mano todo cerca, la verdad súper satisfecho! Hay una ventana arriba del ropero que no tiene cortina y por la noche entra mucha luz, también como recomendación un cedazo en las ventas para evitar mosquitos, todo lo demás súper excelente!
- Tiziana d'Olne (9/5): Super pratique - Chambre plus grande qu'en photo. Très propre. Très calme. Vraiment bien situé non loin de restaurants et supermarché. Parfait pour arriver ou partir vers l'aéroport. L'explication pour entrer dans le garage ne nous a pas paru tres claire. Et en partant le lendemain très tôt, une voiture nous bloquait dans le garage. Mais la propriétaire a rapidement réglé le problème.
- Massimo_Romeo95 (7/5): -
- Jacques (8/5): Bien situé - Grand espace de vie.Près des commerces, restaurants marché.
Accueil parfait nous a accordé de venir plus tôt que prévu. Bien sécurisé, code portail et maison.
- Sead Jenma (9/5): 空港利用時に最適 - 空港からuberですぐに着きます。部屋に入るまでに2つのセキュリティコードがあり、簡単に入ることができます。セキュリティコードは随時変更してきちんと管理しています。ホストの安全管理能力が高いと思います。夜に到着しましたが、ホストが暖かく迎えてくれたのは嬉しかった。使いやすいキッチンがあります。
ピザ屋が近くにあります。 シャワーはやや温い
- Melissa (9/5): Excelente lugar - El apartamento muy lindo, limpieza impecable todo muy bien aunque en realidad estuvimos solo como 7 horas solo llegamos a dormir una noche. El único detalle es que llegamos después de un viaje nuestro vuelo llegó casi a media noche y lo único que queríamos era llegar bañarnos y dormir y lamentablemente NO había agua caliente 😓 nos tocó bañarnos con agua fría.
- Suzanne (7/5): Correct pour une nuit près de l’aéroport - Proximité avec l’aéroport et coût Le stationnement difficile et l’accès à la barrière
- donna (10/5): - The most comfortable bed and pillows and room was spotless
- Magaly (10/5): -
- Lea (7/5): Für eine Nacht zum Flughafen sehr gut! - Wir waren nur eine Nacht, bevor wir abgeflogen sind in der Unterkunft. Sie war sehr groß und auch ganz gut ausgestattet. Wir hatten zwei große Betten und ein ausgestattetes Badezimmer. Wir mussten durch einen anderen Wohnbereich gehen, das war ein bisschen doof, weil wir da Menschen aufgeweckt haben. Ein Parkplatz stand uns nicht zu Verfügung, wir haben uns dann in der Nähe auf den Parkplatz einer Pizzeria gestellt, in der Hoffnung, dass das so passt.
- Dagmar (9/5): Super für die Aaflug Nacht - War alles sehr gut! Bisschen schwer zu finden, aber sonst super. Nahe des Flughafen!
- Gabriele (8/5): -
- Louis (9/5): - Les hôtes sont très aimables et l'endroit est très propre. L'emplacement est bien situé pour une arrivée tardive! L'hôte nous a dépanné lorsque nous avons décidé de rester une nuit de plus. Elle nous a sorti un matelas supplémentaire. Prix très compétitif pour l'endroit. Merci pour l'accueil! L'entrée est facile avec le code à la porte et l'accès au parking est apprécié!
- Antonin (8/5): Très bien pour une nuit après le vol - Proche aéroport et tout commerce avec parking Bruyant et douche froide
- Paul (10/5): - This was a perfect little stop over the night before our flight. The host was very communicative and helpful. Offered us shuttles to and from the airport. The room was nice and modern, the beds comfy. It was very good value for money. And only about 5 minutes from the airport which was perfect.
- koen (9/5): - Muy amable, muy buena
- suzanna (10/5): -
- Stephanie (7/5): -
- Noelia (7/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): - Very good location when arriving or leaving the country from the International Airport.
Walking distance to some good restaurants and even a little bit of shopping.
- Mayumi (8/5): - Good value. Convenient place. Just one thing is not good. Shower temperature is lukewarm not hot. It was hard for us.other thing is good. Nice kitchen and safe.
- Ditte-Marie (8/5): - Tæt på lufthavnen
- Florian (10/5): -
- Gerald (9/5): Großes Zimmer bei perfekter Gastgeberin - Gastgeberin war super freundlich und hat uns mit zahlreichen Tipps unterstützt. Die Lage ist sehr gut, in ein paar Schritten sind McDonalds, Einkaufszentrum oder Reataurants zu erreichen. Zur CityMall sind es ca 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Das sehr große Zimmer befindet sich außer des Wohngebäudes im ersten Stock Die Ein- und Ausfahrt zur Parkmöglichkeit hat mir mit einem größeren Auto etliche Nerven gekostet. Für uns nicht relevant, aber es war kein Fernseher vorhanden
- Olga (7/5): -
- Víctor Celio (10/5): -
- Konrad (9/5): Very friendly and accommodating hosts. - Close to the airport
- Berta (9/5): -
- Dafne (10/5): Exceptional - Great location near the airport. The beds were very comfortable. All spotless and while we didn't use it, the kitchen seems well equipped. The hosts are very welcoming and kind. The only down side is it's near a main road so you hear some traffic noise all night, but it didn't bother us too much. The beds and the temperature.were good enough that we had a very good night sleep.
- Sunil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leicester (6/5): Nice apartment but too noisy to sleep. - Great location. We stayed before an early flight so it was a 5min Uber to airport.
Restaurants and shops are walking distance. Nice to have a kitchenette. It was very noisy so we didn’t sleep much. Lots of street noise from motorbikes.
No AC but there is a fan.
- Angéla (10/5): Don't look further, this is it! - Welcoming, helpful and super nice hosts. The apartment upstairs was super clean, spacious and comfortable. Location is great. Thank you for your kind hospitality!
- Hilary (9/5): Great place to stay near the airport - Great location near the airport. It was really cheap and easy to get an Uber even at 5am on a public holiday. The apartment was a really good size, well equipped and very clean. We received a very warm welcome - the owner was really friendly and gave us lots of useful information. Great value for money.
- Karen (8/5): Great value close to airport - Good value for money, spacious, beds comfortable. Very close to airport with food options near by. Overall great flat but did struggle to sleep due to Motorbike noise.
Also no instructions on how to get in with car, gate was locked and parking entrance very tight. Once in main building no instructions on how to find apartment (had to go back outside) - easy once you know, just need to explain both before arrival.
- Rosemary (10/5): Great stay - A lovely, comfortable apartment with a kitchen. Very spacious. The hosts are very welcoming and allowed us an early check in, and to leave our bags after check out until we went to the airport.
Will definitely stay again.
- Grant (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wendy (9/5): A comfortable little oasis, not too far from the airport with access to business and food nearby. Nothing fancy but grea - After a late night arrival, we were happy to have a clean and comfortable room. The hosts were very helpful and pleasant, even though we had to disturb them to get in. I hadn’t looked for the email sent for how to access the property and didn’t have a SIM card to access the internet. Long story short, it was my fault that I didn’t have the access code but did have a phone number. The host had to get out of her bed to let us in and see that we settled into out suite. She was very pleasant considering our mistake. We very much appreciate her good nature. The small sign that identified the property is easy to miss, especially by travel weary guests. The property is behind a large commercial building through a gate so we had a hard time finding it until we asked some nice local guys at the bar across the street. They walked us over, pointed at the sign and the lock to use the passcode to get in.
- Michelle (9/5): It was an excellent choice for convenience. Walking distance to great restaurants and supermarket. Security gates made i - It was clean, spacious for a studio and walking distance to everything you need. Great restaurants and supermarket. It got a little noisy with traffic but nothing earplugs couldn’t fix.
- Szilagyi (9/5): Superb -
- Radoslav (10/5): Near of center and airport - Spacious room wit good kitchen equipment. Comfort beds. Nice staff.
- Eszter (9/5): Very tranquil, safe place close to the airport. - It was spacious, basic but nice with a kitchen, and safe parking. The host was very kind, allowed us to check in early and even gave us some mandarins from the small garden. The apartment is close to the airport, it was the perfect spot for us before an early flight out.
- Daniel (10/5): Excellent - Really close to the center and malls. Nice pet
- Vasilisa (10/5): Exceptional - The lady was super nice and helpful and went above and beyond to assist us even though she didn’t speak any English.
- Rysal (9/5): This worked out great for me as i needed a place close to the airport for my early mornig flight - Location and size Unfortunately I did not have enough time to enjoy it more
- Perreault (7/5): Value for money with great service. Thank you Mario! - The host, Mario, is amazing. The house is beautiful (the room is part of an hacienda). Well garded, super secure. Basic room as we expected, but kitchen was super well equiped with all basics. Clean. I really thought there was an AC in there, just a fan. Towels for 2 when we booked for 4. Other than that value for money with great service.
- Elana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brent (7/5): Value stay for a airport departure - Very clean and organized as described Kind of noisy location near busy street
- Piotr (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gregory (9/5): Wonderful family, flexible and welcoming, nice space in their house. - no breakfast was provided On our booking it stays the total price, but they wanted to charge us that price plus the "commission", which is not visible to me as the guest. I assume this if for booking.com. They did not charge the VAT though, so I just paid what was asked for to avoid a complicated arguement with language difficulties.
