Pros:

The house is located close to Parque Nacional Volcan Tenorio. You can wlak there in maybe 8 minutes. It is quiet and peaceful. The room had all it needed for a night and I found the bed comfortable. The owners were very nice and helpful. There is a good, but somehwat expensive restauarant nearby so you can walk there.

Cons:

It is not easy to reach the place without a car. There are no buses, no sidewalks and some taxis can charge you more than they should, so you need to plan how to get there and away, but the owners can help you.

We liked the little cabins near Tenorio Park and would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The owner was very friendly. We needed to use a translator app because each of us only spoke “un poco” of each other’s native language but we worked through it. The cute cabins are very close to Tenorio Park and to restaurants. We loved the cows in the field nearby.

Cons:

Nothing!
