The studio apartment we stayed in was very comfortable and the views out were amazing, the host greeted us as we arrived and made us feel very welcome.
It was very windy when we were there so we did hear the wind a lot at night. The road leading up to the apartment is pretty bumpy so it would be a good idea to have a 4x4.
Overall a great way to start the holiday after a long flight.

ParaÃso de montaña
Nos alojamos en la casa principal, una propiedad ubicada sobre la montaña con una vista privilegiada desde un enorme ventanal. La casa está decorada con gusto exquisito y ofrece todas las comodidades para cocinar. Los anfitriones fueron muy amables con nuestra familia. Es un buen Punto de partida para conocer la zona del valle central. Gracias Marisol, pura vida!!

What a wonderful house. Very Spacious and great views.
We had an awesome time staying here. Guillermo was extremely nice to us and helped us plan some things to do. There were 5 adorable dogs on the property that I wish we could have taken home with us (haha). The house is amazing. The pictures on the site really don't do it justice, as it's much better in person. We made a fire in the fire place, cooked dinner that we bought from a grocery store that was just a few minutes away, played with the dogs, walked to the river in the backyard (and the dogs came with us), and just had a great time. Thanks for everything! If we are back in the Poas, we'll be sure to stay here again.
