10/10
This is a great place, but there’s a couple of things you need to know before renting.First, if you can’t tell from the pictures, only the bedroom and bathroom are enclosed, the kitchen is completely open – no screens. That means bugs – it's Costa Rica after all. No mosquitoes, but beetles, flies, little flying things, and the occasional millipede. You can reduce the insects by not turning on the outside lights at night (finish eating before dark) and cleaning up dishes etc. immediately after using them. If insects bother you, this isn’t the place for you.Second, it’s in a neighborhood. That means you’ll hear trucks on the highway, motorcycles on the streets, dogs barking, and roosters crowing (even at night). If all you want to hear is howler monkeys, this isn’t the place for you.But, if those two things don’t bother you, this is a great place. Clean, convenient and easy to get to. Very secure, with high walls and fences, and CCTV. The pool gets very deep, 6 feet or so. Nice kitchen, comfortable bed, big bathroom. Great views of Cerro Chirripo, the El General Valley, and even the center of San Isidro itself.Owner was very responsive to texts if an issue came up. One suggestion we have is to add a ‘house book’ with the basics of how everything works. Like the wifi password, how the TVs work, how to operate the dryer works, etc.Again, its great place for a couple to explore the area as long as you don’t want the ‘ecolodge’ experience.
