The room is well laid out which gives an impression of space, the view with the large window bay was a nice surprise. The bed was comfortable and the toiletries of high quality. Check-in was easy with no key and no need to talk to anybody. Service was fast and reliable, all through WhatsApp. The wifi was stable and high speed. They provided me additional towels upon request. The neighbourhood is super lively and the room was quiet at the same time. Room has everything you need (coffee machine, iron, ironing board, kettle, AC...) The price was very reasonable for the quality of the service / room and there were always ubers available quickly in the vicinity. The building is moder and the features of high standard. Highly recommend. Perfect if you don't want to pay a hotel or for a business stay (I checked out of the hotel to come here, and am very happy I did).

Fabulous amenities in a good location (the airport side of SJ) near supermarkets and eateries, a 15-min Uber ride to the central zone. Quiet, good AC, comfy bed, laundry facilities and kitchen all great. Super, safe parking garage.

Very well equipped and impressively furnished apartment. Great facilities including pool and gym. Ideal for a short stay in San Jose! Hosts really had thought of everything, leaving supplies of lots of things you might need in the kitchen for the duration of your stay and information about the local area. Highly recommend!

The personnel at the main desk was very friendly and helpful! The apartment is really nice with a kitchen and living room with a beautiful view with some restaurants in the neighborhood. The city center is a long distance walk but still doable. The Sabana park is around the corner! Lastly, the jacuzzi on the rooftop is warm and nice with a good view on the city as their are only few big buildings in the neighborhood!
