Easy place to stay even as a female traveling alone with an early morning flight! Would recommend to anyone and there are a few things around to walk to. The place itself was easy and a cozy bed!

Comfortable and stylish apartment
Very nice loft style apartment with really big windows and a beautiful balcony overlooking the entire city with view of the mountains in the background as long as you look for the name of the building, you will be OK

Urban Heights Penthouse: Unmatched View
Our stay at this condo was truly unforgettable! The space is just as beautiful as the listing shows—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The view from the condo was absolutely breathtaking; we found ourselves soaking it in every morning and evening. We loved the convenience of having several great restaurants just a short walk across the street, which made dining out easy and stress-free. The area felt very safe, and getting around was simple with easy access to transportation. What really made our experience stand out was the host. They were incredibly responsive, checked in to make sure we were comfortable, and gave us wonderful suggestions that helped us make the most of our time in Costa Rica. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area—and without a doubt, we would stay here again. 🇨🇷 PURA VIDA!

Luxury Apt-25 mins from airport
The space was private, peaceful, and had an incredible view overlooking San Jose. Communication was quick and clear throughout, and both check-in and check-out were smooth and flexible. It felt like a perfect home base during my stay. I’ll absolutely be booking again next time I’m in San Jose.

Tropical & cozy apartment in historic Barrio Otoya
I had a great stay at Dominique’s AirBnB in Barrio Otoya. I was in San Jose for a week to explore some of Costa Rica’s capital and to do some day trips to tourist spots outside the city. The AirBnB was in a great location both for visiting museums and the National Theatre in downtown San Jose as well as for checking out coffee shops and restaurants in nearby Barrio Escalante. Dominique was a responsive host for check in and check out and also offered good local recommendations for activities (I arrived the weekend of the Transitarte festival which was a fab rec!) and places to eat (Cafe Otoya is a must!). The AirBnB has two stages to entry so feels very safe and secure (plus security camera!) on a quieter street, but is close to a pick up point for guided tours (across from the La Linea Bar). Overall, I would happily return here if ever back in San Jose! A note for light sleepers/late risers: heed the note re. the trains, especially in the morning (didn’t bother me though!😁)

Brand-new, luxurious, modern apt w/ scenic views!
We had a great time in San Jose and felt at home in the apartment. It was the ideal location for us. We felt very comfortable and safe because it was a secured location with security guards. Having a designated parking spot made it easier to go back and forth without worrying about finding a parking spot. Additionally, the complex is located across from a supermarket so it was easy for us to walk and get groceries. It is located within walking distance to multiple restaurants so we didn’t need to drive for dining. The view overlooking the city from the balcony was amazing. Javier was a great host and I strongly recommend their Airbnb as a preferred place.

A/C. Free parking. Coworking space. Gym. Pool.

New Modern 1BR with AC in Sabana- w/30 amenities
This type of apartment is exactly what we consider ideal for long stays. The apartment is brand new, with all new items and plenty of comfort—from the bed and shower to the living room and kitchen. The condominium offers great amenities, such as a gym, swimming pool, game room, and an excellent coworking space with fast internet. The host was always very helpful, assisting us with everything we needed and answering all our questions. The location is also excellent: there is a supermarket very close by, several restaurants right across from the building, and a park just a few minutes’ walk away. The parking garage is great, and Uber arrives quickly, making it easy to get to the city center. In short, the apartment’s structure and everything it offers stand out. I hope all my future long stays on Airbnb are as good as this one.

Apartment with good location
Everything is great, the area is super quiet and the apartment is as seen in the photos, if I return to San José I will return here for sure, thank you for everything!

Skyline Retreat Top 31st Floor Apt w/ AC &Parking
We loved this place! The view is stunning. The city lights up like diamonds! The building is creative beyond belief. It is so much fun to explore and the concept rooms on the 31st floor are magical. The VW bus on the roof is over the top! The apartment itself is small but thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed to cook each night. I loved that there is a balcony and the bedroom window opens for ventilation, which can be rare in a high rise. We loved our stay here.

Chic Bohemian Loft
We really enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect mix of city amenities and cozy accommodation. The staff at reception were very welcoming, the unit was well equipped and the restaurants nearby were convenient with a good variety. There is a full market just a couple blocks away, so we were very easily able to purchase groceries so we could eat in the unit as well. We cooked most mornings. The bed was also comfy with lots of pillows! The hosts were very quick to address any questions we had and were gracious. The location is a bit of a drive to the airport with traffic, but Uber was only a $25-$30 charge. We were feeling adventurous one day and actually walked our way into San Jose city center, so it’s a quick hop into the city by car or bus. It can be a little loud sometimes at night with the motorcycles and city traffic but it usually quieted down by 10pm. If we ever find ourselves back in the area we would definitely stay there again.
