#### Nice House
House was as described. A bit open to the elements, but overall clean. Guests do not have access to the laundry room, which was a bummer for us. Host was available. We had a few issues, such as a power outage, which was expected with the large storms we received. However when I asked how long outages typically last I was told that Costa Rica was “a 3rd World Country” and I should expect such events.

#### Beautiful little place on the outskirts of town
The property was gorgeous and well maintained. Rooms were nice and the air-condition works well. The location is too far to walk to most places in town, but plenty of room to park a rental car. Or if you prefer, Uber is quick, easy, and cheap. We had no issues getting an Uber within a few minutes in town. We also hired the private chef that works with the owner for one night. Absolutely amazing experience! You cannot stay here without trying it! Charlie and Annette were very professional, polite, and provided a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

#### Perfect retreat for couples!
Super cute, cozy, and great location! This place is even better in person. We were a group of three couples traveling together. All had our own bedroom and bathroom, each with a shower. Beds were comfortable and AC worked great in the rooms. We loved the pool, the outdoor seating with big patio table
