Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cinco Esquinas

This isn’t just an Airbnb—it’s an experience clearly crafted by artistic souls who care deeply about beauty, comfort, and good energy. Every corner of the home radiates creativity and warmth, like a love letter to Costa Rica itself. The vibe is unforgettable—tropical, soulful, and effortlessly cool. The space is beautifully stocked with everything we needed and more. From cozy linens to charming little details, you can feel the thoughtful touch everywhere. We felt safe, relaxed, and completely at home. And the garage? A total bonus, especially for peace of mind. Thank you for sharing this special slice of Pura Vida. We’re leaving inspired, grateful, and already dreaming of our return.

The gardens were a wonderfully peaceful respite. It was like taking a vacation while on vacation. The room was great, as described, and even had a dehumidifier available. The property is away from the city (we were able to Uber in and out of the city without too much issue - just a delay in finding a driver one night. We loved exploring and having our morning coffee in the gardens. We didn’t meet Phil, and we weren’t able to get a gate opener for our stay, but it worked out OK with two of us (one to drive the car and the other to get out and operate the gate).

Great place. Being from the USA, it really made me feel immersed into the costa rica culture, while also feeling safe at home.

Calling this home “little” is not quite accurate, because it is much more spacious than some of the other places we have stayed. The rooms are large and well laid out. The kitchen is a bit informal but it has everything you need. There are ceiling fans and a nice breeze that keep it cool. Lee is a great host who has lived in the neighborhood for many years. He is friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is colorful and full of historical buildings. There are many parks and restaurants nearby. Overall, this home provides great value, and l highly recommend it.

I had a great stay in San José. The house was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. Check-in was smooth, and the host was very responsive and quick to resolve any issues that came up during my stay. It was a perfect base for exploring the city and surrounding areas. I’d definitely stay here again.

very beautiful home and neighborhood. Jorge was very responsive when we contacted him on things to do etc.

We really enjoyed staying at this property, it’s so peaceful with lots of space. I recommend!!

Veronica's studio is nice and comfortable, I recommend it. Veronica is friendly and very quick to respond at all times.

Well located place in a beautiful neighborhood, quiet! The space was clean and modern. I was also able to do laundry, it was great!

I would say if you stay for a short time it’s 5 stars a long term stay would likely be 4 stars due to noise. The good Allan was great and responsive. The first day the coffee maker was broken and Allan replaced same day when I told him. It is close to Barrio Escalante and great restaurants and La Cali for nightlife. It’s a great location between San Jose Centro and San Pedro. It’s also close to Parque National that has great location. The building is great, a good gym, small pool, coworking area, laundry room and great bilingual door staff. The not so good, it will be noisy between the train and La Cali it will be loud and need to close the window. The mattress was initially a problem as the springs went directly into my body but figured out the mattress was on the wrong side and after flipping it was a lot better. Overall if you want to be in the heart of the action this is a good place to be. If you want peace and quiet would look at another location.

I loved the place, super comfortable, it feels like home, safe and quiet place. Highly recommended.

Booked this last minute and excellent communication. The place is newer and has great restaurants on the street level . Awesome pool and even better 21st floor to rooftop where you can spend the morning relaxing or wind down in the evening ! Check in was a breeze. The cooking facilty was awesome. Close to city but far enough to be away from the hustle n bustle

We stay here every time we come in San Jose- always clean, comfortable and quiet for being in the middle of a big city. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Everything was perfect and went smoothly! Juan Carlos is a very helpful and responsive host! Highly recommend him!

Everything excellent!☺️

We stayed at Miguel's listing recently and were very happy! The unit itself is gorgeous with everything meeting our needs, and the host was very responsive, helpful and made the check-in and check-out process very straightforward with clear instructions. I would definitely recommend this unit and would stay here again!

Beautiful place and great price. Would highly recommend if staying in San Jose area. Host is super responsive and helpful. Checkin and out directions are super clear and a private parking space is available.

I stayed here for a month and absolutely loved it. The studio space is compact but has everything you need. It’s on the 28 floor with wonderful views over the city. The real beauty of the building though is the top floor (29) that has incredible shared amenity spaces. The coworking space is perfect. Very fast connection and lots of room to spread out, I’m an architect and had multiple monitors set up. The shared living room and other spaces were so relaxing. I felt like I was at home, but in a wonderfully luxurious space. The other residents were open and generous and quickly became friends who I will remain in contact with. I was sad to leave and will definitely be back.

The apartment is beautifully decorated, well appointed, very very clean and in a vibrant and walkable neighborhood. The host is kind and responds quickly.

I stay in this apartment frequently when traveling through San José. The amenities and neighborhood are both wonderful

Just as pictured, veryyyyyy clean!!! I also really appreciated how responsive Jorge was. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this listing. The location was also really close to restaurants, I would recommend Naans & Curries….sooooo good!

The apartment is in a new modern building with multiple elevators, great parking space, great views of the city. 24 hours security, clean all around, friendly people very quiet and an attendant super host. The condo is a spacious two bedrooms apartment with television in every room. Master bedroom with walk in closet and big bathroom. Second bedroom also very nicely decorated. I will rent this place again if I return back to Costa Rica.

Great place to stay if you’re in San José. The view from the 21st level is stunning and the building itself has an interesting concept. There’s plenty to do. Erick was always very responsive and answered all our questions with clarity and friendliness.

Everything is as shown in the photos, David is very attentive and I thought his apartment was very nice. I will definitely stay there again.
