It was particularly helpful having ice available, as I rolled my ankle the first day and needed to ice the swelling. The grocery stores were within walking distance, the town was nice to stroll thru and Rebecca was always available and helpful with my questions. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who would be staying in La Fortuna ##### Teri J.

It is walking distance from several restaurants, shops and a park in the middle of town. Rebecca was very accommodating and responsive before and during our stay and even gave us recommendations for events around town for New Year’s Eve. ##### Catie M. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anne C. 19 Nov 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy Arriving after a long day of travel, the instructions given were a mismatch of photos that included lockboxes that didn't even exist on the property. The codes given to get into the lockboxes that did exist didn't work. The wifi suggested didn't exist. The TV didn't work. No comforter on the bed. Took an hour to finally get into the unit, which involved the assistance of the neighbor. Once we got the code to get in, the following morning we left for coffee, only to return and learn the code once again didn't work and we were locked out. We missed our appointment for our morning tour which was expensive and incredibly frustrating. ##### Anne C. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Lou S. 11 Feb 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication #### Enjoyable, but could use improvements. Rebeca is very friendly and helpful whenever she is able. An example is that she brought ear plugs to us to help withstand the street noise. Location very good. Many restaurants nearby, park nearby, easy access to center/business area of city. The apartment itself: Situated on a very busy street which results in loud traffic noise, especially at night. Many tiny ants in eating area. Base of bed way too large for the mattress, resulting in repeated feet pain caused by bumping into the base. Overall, we enjoyed our experience in la fortuna. ##### Lou S. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANN M. 26 Mar 2018 #### Truly awesome! The owner Rebecca is a wonderful host. The apartment is beautiful, very comfortable, well equipped and spacious! And it is close to everything! ##### ANN M.

Wonderful location and property in the heart of La Fortuna - parking located just outside the property was very convenient. ##### Andrew B. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ---
