Spacious and bright studio with great view.

Spacious, modern room with lots of daylight and a very nice balcony with a great view. Large and comfortable bed and two sinks in the bathroom. Although some other studios are close by it felt very private and we weren't overlooked. Easy enough self-check in with good instructions.

This truly spacious accommodation offers all the amenities you need for a longer stay. A huge living room with a well-equipped kitchen, a view of the mountains, a large bedroom, a large bathroom and a veranda. And the dog is friendly and loves to be stroked.

Good value for the price and driving through the country.

Well located, very quite and totally in the nature. The house was cute. Not far from Poas volcano and some coffee farms. Check-in was very easy and good described by the owners.

Nice place in a nice location, albeit a bit hard to find.

Quality appliances in the kitchenette, king size bed. Spacious place. Liked it so much, I extended my stay to two nights. Beautifully landscaped.

I liked this studio in the mountains. A good location if you are going to Poas. The view is fabulous. This is a nice little studio for one or two people with a very comfortable bed, patio and small kitchen. The owners are easy to communicate with. Everything was very good.

This was absolutely the best place we stayed at for our whole trip. We only stayed one night based on our travel plans but wished we would have been able to stay longer. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The views were unbeatable and offered a very relaxing atmosphere.

The views were beautiful, and the bathroom was very nice. However, it was more of an AirBnB than a lodge, which was not what we expected. The gate only intermittently worked, the key to the room was in a Masterbox, and there was no shampoo for the shower.

The place was nice and clean. They even left some wood for the night and let the gate door open as we arrived late. The cute dogs in front of the Windows in the morning is a plus for me :)
