"We recently stayed at this property and they upgraded our unit for no charge. The unit was very clean and neatly maintained. There were instructions on how to use appliances. This property has amazing Sunset view just outside the property. The property felt like staying in Italian villa in Tuscany. Nico and Joel are fantastic hosts and I highly recommend this property. "

"This place has a great location. Just outside of the heart of la Fortuna. It was safe, peaceful and we had everything we needed to make our own meals. It is a gated home/parking which was unique. It was cozy. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Good bang for your buck. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!"
