Laura es una persona realmente buena. Me recogió del aeropuerto, me llevó al cine y el mercado verde, y cocinó todas las mañanas y noches. Las acomodaciones son simples, pero perfectamente adecuadas y el ambiente es muy “home-like”. Es como quedando con su abuela.

I absolutely loved my stay with Laura and her daughter. They are super sweet, helpful and welcoming. The house is ideally located, in a secure neighborhood, next to a pharmacy and supermarkets and at 1 minute from the bus station that gets you to the center of San Jose.
Laura even drove me to the airport in the middle of the night!I would totally recommend to anyone to stay with these amazing people and in this very cozy and clean house!

The homestay with Laura was amazing and I am so glad I chose her as my host. From the moment she picked me up from the airport, I felt very safe and comfortable (I was travelling alone as a woman). She is very welcoming, friendly and I slept so well in her home. I could practise my Spanish with her but communicating in English also works well. I highly recommend this homestay. Thank you Laura!

I cannot say enough great things about my stay at Laura’s! I felt right at home the entire 3 weeks of my stay. Enjoyed traditional Costa Rican food and felt a true sense of “Pura Vida”! The home was kept very clean, the backyard space is completely tranquilo where I enjoyed my coffee every morning. The hardest part was having to leave! I know when I come back to Costa Rica that this is the place I will stay again. Hopefully for longer this time!

Laura is the best host I met in home stay. She is very helpful and cheerful. The house is near everything and in a very safe neighborhood called Sabanilla. Laura took me to watch movies and introduced me to friends which allowed me to explore the city even more and feel at home. Her house in gated and very safe, I used to leave the door open because there is a bigger gate for the entire community. I really loved staying at Laura's place and recommend her place to all homestay guests. I will certainly come back again and stay with Laura.

My welcome from Diana was excellent, and I found everything I needed there. They were very helpful with local advice, and the location is very easy to take a bus to downtown San Jose.

Laura and her family made me feel very welcome.
I had only stayed for a short time but wish I had stayed longer for the sheer fact of their hospitality.
The accommodation was very clean.
I highly recommend.
