Como en casa
Pros:

Te sientes como en casa !! Rosi te trata desde el minuto uno como un integrante más de la familia . Cuando llegué por la noche me regaló una sopita que era justo lo que necesitaba después de mi viaje (ella cocina increíble !)Su amabilidad y su cercanía hacen que tu estancia sea maravillosa. Me quedé allí por dos noches y me pareció una zona segura y muy cerca del aeropuerto. Perfecto para hacer una parada al llegar o al salir del país. 100% recomendable !

On balance, it was a very positive experience.
Pros:

Breakfast was really good, more or less a basic casado. Gustavo was very helpful. I appreciated his providing me a ride to the farmers market, dealing with a shoe repair fellow on my behalf, and taking me to the Alajuela market.

I had picked up some things at the Farmers market, and I appreciated Rosi and her daughter's help in processing them.

I happen to speak half way decent Spanish, and I enjoyed chatting with members of the family.

Access to the second floor balcony was also a big positive, as there is a refrigerator and sink there.

Cons:

One should know that the hostel is right in the center of the city and on a major road, so it can be rather noisy particularly on the balcony. My bedroom was not too noisy, though.

I felt very welcome!
Pros:

I didn't stay overnight but was looking for a place to rest during a long layover between a bus trip and a red-eye flight. Posada de Nana is conveniently close to the airport. Nana took great care of me! She made me feel welcome, treated me to coffee and homemade pastry, and good conversation! It was lovely.

Cons:

Finding the place was a bit of a challenge for me. I couldn't call to verify the location because I didn't have a phone plan for Costa Rica. If you can call ahead of your arrival to confirm, it should be easy.

Sweet place if you are not sensitive to noise
Pros:

This was really the absolute sweetest family. They were very generous and I could feel the love in the interactions, and the love in the cooking of the breakfast was amazing. The location is walking distance to Plaza Real where there are all sorts of restaurants, cafes and and an ATM at Banco Costa Rica (BCR) that did not charge any withdrawal fees!!

Cons:

Unfortunately, the windows do not close (just screened) and the hostel is located on the main road. I was told there were no other quieter rooms. Even with ear plugs, it is quite loud and I was not able to rest. It can be difficult to find even with a location pin— each of the other guests I met during breakfast had epic arrival stories, so make sure you know Spanish and arrive in the daytime to ask around.

Like staying with Nana
Pros:

The location is close to the airport in San José. Its definitely a great place to come to, especially after a long flight where you want to relax or shower asap. It's also a great place to spend the last few nights before you leave because of the short distance to the airport. The accommodations are ample and clean. There is a private living room with tv, sink and refrigerator for personal items. The host is knowledgeable about the country and travel locations and distances. She is very kind and hospitable and makes you feel at home. And her cooking is EXCELLENT! I was treated like I was part of the family and made good friends here. I recommend trying it out!

Cons:

There is no parking available at this location if you have your own vehicle, HOWEVER, the host can usually find parking for your vehicle nearby.
