We stayed at Airport Green Studio for our last night in Costa Rica. It was the perfect location since we could safely park the car, fill it up on the gas station right next to the Studio and return it to the nearly located rent company. The Hosting family is exceptionally nice! The breakfast is probably the best, we had on our whole journey! We would definitely come again.

The staff is extremely helpful and our trip to Costa Rica started well thanks to them. The house is great, the kitchen is well organised, the bathroom is efficient. They offer a very friendly and affordable airport transfer, we highly recommand to take advantage of it especially since taxi drivers in San José airport are not reliable and rarely offer a fair rate.

Close to the airport and a mall this nice and cozy apartment is perfect to begin the journey, either for a single traveler as me or a family. Easy to reach, in a very QUITE area, a variety of chilling areas in the huge living room, very clean, sockets every where, comfortable bed, and, last but not least, super positive vibe from the host with an excellent customer service and attention to details. What else can you wish for? Sure I'll go there again. It was a pleasure to stay. VERY RECOMMENDED

The location was superb as I was leaving the next day in the morning to the airport. The house was clean and offered everything I needed: clean shower, clean bedroom, clean towels, coffee machine, free coffee and a fridge. It has many other amenities that I would have used should I have stayed longer than 24 hours.
