We live in Santa Ana, a small city located 20 km west of San José, the capital of Costa Rica. It is an area privileged by the amount of public, commercial, cultural and entertainment services.
We offer a small room furnished with a sofa bed, small wardrobe, TV, bathroom, kitchen with fridge and other appliances, laundry room with washing machine and separate entrance. The room, kitchen and bathroom are exclusively for the guest. Natural ventilation and light are available. We have a nice garden at the entrance of the house and the neighborhood is very quiet.
We are a family made up of four people: Bruce (54), Ana (53), Kenny (24) and Tony (21). Bruce is an English teacher and writer, Ana is a psychologist and writer, Kenny is an English teacher and Tony is a student and worker in a service center. We speak English and Spanish, we love spending time together, playing and listening to music, dancing, walking and, in general, having a good time.
