We loved the house - it was very fun with a lot of character including a patio to look at the stars, as well as grass to sit and enjoy the meals we made. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Very cosy room, loved that it's not in the center of the hustle but still walking distance to many beautiful spits, and the host is wonderful. It is a great place for backpackers.

The owners were really welcoming and friendly, and gave me a lot of recommendations as in what to do in the area. The location is great, there are a couple of national parks within walking distance, and there is also a place for night tours in the forest. It's very close to a nice spot to see the sunset, and about 20-30mins walk to the town centre. The common areas were really nice with a big living room and kitchen. The room itself was very comfortable, and I would stay again!

Helpful hosts and a quirky and comfortable property in a great location

This is a small casa on the edge of Santa Elena and it was in a brilliant location. We could easily walk to Curi Cancha reserve and the bus to the Monteverde cloud forest (700 colones single) departed from the main road at the end of the drive at 6.20am - important to catch the early bus if you don’t have pre booked tickets. There are coffee shops and restaurants within a 5-10 min walk. There’s also a small organic food shop just up the road. The owners were really friendly and helpful. They spent a lot of time with us on arrival answering questions and suggesting places to go in the area. The bus station is a 30 minute walk / 5 min taxi ride away. Large communal space downstairs with a basic kitchen and plentiful seating. There’s also a sunny terrace upstairs with outdoor seats provided.

Great stay with kitchen in Monteverde

The owners are very nice, helpful and flexible. They live on the property, and you can communicate with them on whatsapp in writing. When asked, the owner gave me a carton of milk so I can make tea. I stayed in 2 different rooms (one had queen size bed and attached bathroom, one had twin size bed and separate bathroom, both rooms on upper level - the bathroom is at a lower level). Both rooms had a "slat" in the window so you can open it and have the fresh air in the room, if you wanted to. The place is clean. The kitchen has fridge, microwave, stove etc though the stove is quite dated. It is located next to Bat's Jungle. There is a great place to watch sunset, not far from the airbnb.

The hosts were friendly, helpful, and responsive. The location is close to various tours and attractions, as well as grocery stores and gas station. Although, in terms of wildlife, the area isn't as diverse as Arenal and the Pacific Coast. The night walk tour will likely be a huge hit-and-miss. Overall, you'll likely see a few dark-coloured frogs (there are no colorful frogs in this part of CR), a few scorpions (seeing those light up with dark light was cool), and several sleepy birds disturbed by the flash lights.

It was lovely, had all the amenities. It was close to a wonderful restaurant(Stella's), the bat jungle. All within walking distance. It was about 25 minutes or more to get to downtown walking. Bus was easy to catch to the Cloud Forest. AND there was a wonderful waterfall right across the street. A bit of a hike down to it, but beautiful. Also walked to the Children's Eternal Forest.

A definite 10 !

A beautiful place to stay. The hosts are artists and very knowleadgable about the area so their advice on things like where to go/bus times etc was really useful. As a solo female traveller this place was ideal and I felt very safe and comfortable here.

Beautiful forest location and homey feeling!

The location is absolutely stunning. You wake up literally inside nature in the level that you might see wildlife in front of your window. The feeling is very homey and the hosts are the sweetest people, ready to help with whatever you need.
