The jalousie windows wouldn’t close, so there was always outside noise. The TV didn’t have many channels and no instructions.

The owner is lovely, and The free breakfast in the morning was great. Coffee, orange juice, fruit, and a choice of eggs or pancakes. The pancakes were excellent. Great shower. Bed comfy but slightly firmer than I like. The only negative was that the AC was a bit noisy. When I’m back in San Jose, I would definitely stay here again. ##### sharon Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krissia 3 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Krissia Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla 17 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nicest host ##### Karla Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mi habitación era pequeña, sin aire acondicionado (había un ventilador) ni refrigerador; pero las atenciones de Lucrecia y Vicente, el ambiente familiar, la limpieza y la exquisitez del desayuno me hicieron sentir como en casa.
