Situated in Río Segundo, the recently renovated Airport Green Studio features accommodation 35 km from Poas National Park and 5.9 km from Alejandro Morera Soto Stadium. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides full-day security and a housekeeping service for guests. We booked this Studio for our last day before flying back. We really liked it here. It’s the perfect spot for the first and last night in San Jose. Is super close to the airport but also quite calm. The owners where just super nice and friendly. We even got some fresh fruits! We can just recommend it for everyone!

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay.

La Sabana Metropolitan Park is 18 km from the homestay, while Barva Volcano is 26 km from the property. Juan Santamaría International Airport is 3 km away. The accomodation is located at the perfect place if you have an early flight or you arrive on a flight late at night. The facilities are just what I expected, very clean and you have everything you need for your stay. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are big and they have a nice kitchen and living room. It was the perfect place to rest after a late night flight. One big plus is that Taco Bell, McDonald's, KFC and many other small restaurants are located at a walking distance from the accomodation. That's very convenient in case you want to get something to eat late at night or very early in the morning.

Featuring pool views, Sueño Río Celeste Boutique B&B features accommodation with balcony, around 14 km from Rio Celeste Waterfall. Each guest at the 3-star property can enjoy mountain views from the rooms, and has access to an outdoor pool and to a hot tub. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Loved the location, the "zen" vibe, the beautiful gardens, the attention to detail paid to the amenities in the individual villas, the fire that was lit for breakfast in the morning on the gorgeous outdoor covered eating space, the delicious and healthy breakfasts, the extraordinary wildlife that was so abundant and made it difficult for me to focus on eating my breakfast lol, the walking path surrounding the property, the approachability of the owners, the friendliness of their staff, their obvious love and appreciation for nature, their surroundings, their community and CR. Proximity to Bijigua and Rio Celeste is perfect.

Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica is 17 km from the homestay, while La Sabana Metropolitan Park is 18 km away. Juan Santamaría International Airport is 3 km from the property. The room and ground floor of the house were absolutely beautiful and spacious! I stayed for a night after a late flight, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect—easy to find, with a secure garage for parking your rental car worry-free. On top of that, Denia, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and so lovely. Highly recommend this place!
