#### Excellent Home
Great home accommodation everything was clean inside and out grounds are spectacular with the creek being part of the backyard and an excellent plus to cool down and enjoy. Diego is an awesome person quick to respond and helpful if you need anything he will respond promptly. I highly recommend staying here secluded and just a short drive to La Fortuna nice safe area. Hope i can return soon thank you Diego!

#### Great little place and owner who cares
We had a great time at this place. It is brand new! We saw multiple wildlife right from the back deck. We saw multiple iguanas, birds and Howler monkeys almost every morning.We stayed when the cicadas were out and they are really loud, almost eerie. They were flying all around and really clumsy. They made siting outside in the evening unbearable. This was not the owners fault but just know there are a lot of bugs all around. We ended up putting a towel in front of the door because there was a gap where the bugs could come through.Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The owner is really easy to get ahold of. He went above and beyond when the water heater went out.to mKe sure we had hot water. AC worked great in the bedrooms (there is no AC in the main area).Thanks Diego for everything!
