“This apartotel strikes me as a solid choice, particularly for longer stays near the airport given the well-equipped kitchens in each apartment. I was impressed by the generous room sizes and the availability of secure, off-street parking, a definite plus in San Jose. Its location in Escazu, with proximity to both shopping and the mountains, hits a sweet spot for convenience and local flavor.”
