“It was a pleasant stay. Thank you, Esteban!”
There are 3 rooms inside and two rooms outside the main building. I had 1 couple outside the building with own suite and 1 couple shared toilet. I had nice companies, but not so crowded. The room is small. But everything you need is there, no eg: wardrobe, many coat hangers and fan. Esteban comes to check how we are every night. When I was only one staying, we had a long chat. It was nice to know how he started this accommodation and how hard he works to improve (That's why our reviews are important!). One day after I went to waterfalls, my left leg was puffed. As I have just had an operation on the left foot, I was a bit worried about it. Esteban offered to drive me to the clinic in the town. Then on the following day, he offered to take me to the next town in order to catch the bus to Nicaragua border because he was worried about my leg, walk to the bus terminal here. I am travelling solo, I am so relieved to know someone here cares his guests and sooooo helpful/reliable. Thank you!

Location is awesome! Beds are not really comfortable, but for the price it is fine. Estaban is a great guy and when he's not around he responds very quickly on your massages

I really enjoyed seeing the vilcano every day. Esteben gave several suggestions where to visit and arranged an excellent tour to cover what I wanted to see in La Fortuna- the volcano, waterfall & tubing.

Esteban was a very nice and friendly host, always reactive when we had some questions. The place is very well located, few minutes walk from the bus terminal, from a nice spot on the river called El Salto and from lot of shops and restaurants. There is also a direct view on the Arenal volcano from the patio ! The shared kitchen was pretty well equipped for a short stay and the place was clean. It was very humid in the room but dehumidifier/AC worked well.

“Lovely stay, great location”
Great location. The owner is lovely and gave me lots of recommendations of what to do, where to go and places to eat. I had a car so was able to drive to some different national parks. Would definitely come back.

“Great value and lovely owner”
This accomodation is cheap but has everything you need! We had a great stay, mostly thanks to Esteban the owner. Esteban organised a tour of Rio Celeste for us which was a great day out. He was also very helpful providing bus times, travel info, recommendations etc. The accomodation has a kitchen that whilst there is no oven or stovetop there is electric fry pans, rice cookers, kettles and plenty to make a good meal.

“Excellent value for money”
Excellent value for money. Great location. Close to a supermarket, which was good to utilise the kitchen. Esteban was very friendly, helpful and responsive. He organised a shuttle to Monteverde for us that was cheaper than anywhere else we could find. I even got an invite to go and play Soccer with his local friends.

We had a wonderful experience in this Casa. The host was really nice. He immediately helped us with everything and told us about nice places to visit in La Fortuna. He even did some quick laundry service for us. The rooms were clean and we got everything we needed. The kitchen had the best equipment I have seen in hostel kitchens so far, including a big refrigerator for our food. The view from the veranda was beautiful because we had a perfect view on the vulcano. The location of the Casa was perfect, too. We could reach the river, the city park and mutliple restaurants within a few minutes. I can really recommend to stay at this Casa!
