My Amazing Black House deluxe In the cloud forest

DerikRating, 5 stars4 days ago

José and Dorita were very kind, we had a wonderful time exploring Monteverde from their location. We are avid birders and knocked a few goals off our list from the back porch. It is privately located, but we were in walking distance to a small grocery store and several great restaurants for dinner. The house itself is beautiful, with wonderful skylights and big windows for viewing the nature outside. Would recommend!

Nest Chalet Monteverde Hidden Gem

JerryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The Nest Chalet is a very private accommodation with a wonderful bird's eye view of the cloud forest and surrounding mountains. It was terrific to both see the sunset and sunrise from the loft bedroom and deck. Ever was a terrific communicator, and he provided excellent directions and helpful advice. His property also included many terrific amenities such as laundry and air conditioning. We suggest visiting Ever's soda (Tico y Rico) right in the heart of Monteverde for yummy Costa Rican cuisine and a 10% discount for his guests. We highly recommend this Airbnb!
