Parque Viva is 11 km from the guest house, while Parque Diversiones is 12 km from the property. Juan Santamaría International Airport is 5 km away. We booked this Studio for our last day before flying back. We really liked it here. It’s the perfect spot for the first and last night in San Jose. Is super close to the airport but also quite calm. The owners where just super nice and friendly. We even got some fresh fruits! We can just recommend it for everyone!

Boasting mountain views, La Terraza Guest House B&B provides accommodation with terrace, around 18 km from Poas National Park. With garden views, this accommodation features a balcony. The bed and breakfast also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Each day started with a nice breakfast, which included fruits, coffee, juice, salchichon and other items. Mr. Owens and his staff were very attentive to our needs. They were also very friendly. We were invited to Christmas dinner, and that was a wonderful experience. The property has a beautiful garden. The place where we stayed was fully equipped, clean and very comfortable. The Terraza B & B is a wonderful place to stay, and we highly recommend you consider visiting it. My husband and I are looking forward to returning there next summer.

Featuring pool views, Sueño Río Celeste Boutique B&B features accommodation with balcony, around 14 km from Rio Celeste Waterfall. Each guest at the 3-star property can enjoy mountain views from the rooms, and has access to an outdoor pool and to a hot tub. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Loved the location, the "zen" vibe, the beautiful gardens, the attention to detail paid to the amenities in the individual villas, the fire that was lit for breakfast in the morning on the gorgeous outdoor covered eating space, the delicious and healthy breakfasts, the extraordinary wildlife that was so abundant and made it difficult for me to focus on eating my breakfast lol, the walking path surrounding the property, the approachability of the owners, the friendliness of their staff, their obvious love and appreciation for nature, their surroundings, their community and CR. Proximity to Bijigua and Rio Celeste is perfect.

Zeus Guesthouse -Free SJO Airport Shuttle & Car Rental is a recently renovated apartment in La Garita, where guests can make the most of its garden and barbecue facilities. This apartment provides free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. The apartment also offers facilities for disabled guests. It was a fantastic stay! Very well maintained place with all-in! The hosts are really super nice and the transfers worked like charm, also! I think just because of them and this place it does worth to visit Costa Rica! :) Hints: -To get good hot water for the shower, put the knob to the middle, then don't pull it to the maximum to have the biggest amount water, but until midway. At least this worked for me like this. -A supermarket visit and the breakfast was done in 20-25 mins, total. That is still a good option in case of a late arrival and early departure. Besides, - this is more a note to the hosts -: maybe a bit more amenity in terms of biscuit or similar would be good. Apart the water which was of course, also great to have!
