Amazing Stay (as Solo Female Traveller)
Carlos went above and beyond expectations in order to ensure that I felt safe, welcome, and comfortable. He came to meet me at the airport and waited for a full hour while I obtained my luggage. He told me how to get around his neighbourhood (where I felt very safe), which meant that I explored in ways I wouldn't have otherwise. Then when I was leaving his place, he helped me get to my Uber with my luggage. As a female travelling solo for the first time, these things made a big difference in helping me feel safe and comfortable during my first day in Costa Rica.
Carlos was kind and patient. His dog Rocky (aka Macho) constantly made me smile with his friendliness. His friend, Isaac, helped with some translation when I arrived and was also very friendly.
The room and house was very clean and tidy. The bedroom even had a spot off the ground the place my luggage. The bedroom was upstairs and there was a little table and chair just outside the room which looked like a nice spot to enjoy a snack or beverage. I basically had the entire upstairs to myself, which meant that it was very quiet - even during the day when Carlos and Macho were hanging out downstairs.
I would have loved to stay longer and if I am ever back in San Jose I hope I can stay here again! Muchas gracias, Carlos and Isaac!! Con mucho gusto!
Pura vida!!
