Very beautiful property, centrally located in Alajuela, only a few minutes drive from the airport. Our bathroom was shared but it is kept immaculately clean. It is a shame that we only had one night here before catching our early morning flight. Next time, I will plan to stay longer to enjoy the accommodation more.
