Great city accommodation

This place was perfect for exploring the city! The location was amazing, we could walk everywhere. The apartment itself was super clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was also really friendly and helpful with recommendations. Definitely would stay here again if I'm ever back in San José! 👍😊 Highly recommend this gem!

Liked: Communication
Expectations and assumptions are the reason for my ratings. I thought I was going to have a different experience while that experience was not met. Based on my assumptions my stay there was pleasant and there were some adjustments I had to make once I realized what the accommodations provided the staff was friendly. I felt safe would I stay there again possibly if I’m traveling alone yes but with a companion, I would probably stay somewhere that is more a traditional hotel. This review is not negative. It’s just factual based on my expectations and assumptions.

First night we did not have any hot water. We mentioned it the next day and it was back on. The shower and bathroom is separated by a wall, but it didnt go all the way up to the ceiling, so you c a n hear everything going on in the bathroom.. oh and parking is like 2 blocks away. Besides that, staff was cool and id stay there again as a SOLO traveler.

This property was very close to coffee shops, restaurants, markets, and museums. Overall the property was clean and the staff was friendly and accommodating. This is more like an apartment building than a hotel. Our room had five beds for our stay. We enjoyed the studio and the area. The manager was extremely helpful.

Extremely noisy!

Pros: clean and modern Cons: Extremely noisy. The room was a corner unit at the intersection of two busy streets and the windows were Louvre slatted windows that don't close tightly. It seemed like I was sleeping on the sidewalk.

It’s a nasty disgusting place. I’ve stayed in bad spots and areas but I left within 5 minutes of checking in. I booked the Marriott across the street. My door was kicked in at one point, half fixed. The door, the handle and frame were still destroyed. Dirty linens, cockroach’s on the walls. I hope I can add pictures cause this place was a night mare. SPEND A LITTLE MORE ANS DONT STAY HERE.
