The property is non-smoking and is situated 5 km from La Fortuna Waterfall. I absolutely loved casa macaw. The staff was super kind. They helped me to set up ALL the activities while in La fortuna, as well as transport to other places. The room was super clean and quiet. Bathroom was neatly clean. Breakfast was delicious. It is very close to the city center ( 5 min walking distance )

Situated in Río Segundo, the recently renovated Airport Green Studio features accommodation 35 km from Poas National Park and 5.9 km from Alejandro Morera Soto Stadium. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides full-day security and a housekeeping service for guests. I only stayed here for one night, but it left such a deep impression on me. I arrived early, feeling exhausted from travel and a little unwell, and the room was already ready for check in - something I was incredibly grateful for. But what truly made this stay unforgettable was the family hosting the place. Their kindness and care were absolutely extraordinary. They were there for every little question, provided me with everything I needed, and made me feel not just welcomed, but genuinely cared for. It was the kind of warmth and generosity that’s rare to find - I almost felt like I had become a part of their family. Thanks to them, I had a perfect rest and a smooth trip the next morning. I’ve never stayed anywhere quite like this before. The kindness I experienced here was truly something out of this world :)

Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica is 17 km from the homestay, while La Sabana Metropolitan Park is 18 km away. Juan Santamaría International Airport is 3 km from the property. I don't know where to start. The owner is an incredibly lovely person. As soon as she will open the door you will feel welcomed and at ease. The room is as shown on the picture and I had everything I needed to get some proper sleep before flying out of Costa Rica. It was super quiet and the bed comfortable (I like medium or soft beds). If I was to go to Costa Rica again and in need of a place in San Jose before moving on, I certainly will book it again.
