Seguro y acogedor
Pros:

El trato desde el primer contacto con Yorleny de recepción ( lamento haber olvidado los nombres de las otras damas y el caballero pero todos fueron muy amables). Y la habitación era justo lo que necesitaba y demasiado lindo. Además del lindo jardín en el centro del edificio. El personal de limpieza y mantenimiento también se nota que hacen un excelente trabajo.

Accesible y confortable
Pros:

Es un lugar super tranquilo, limpio, el personal muy amable y atento. A pesar de encontrarse en un lugar muy céntrico, puntos extra, no hay ruido dentro de las instalaciones, más bien hay un patio que armoniza muy bien el lugar.

Cons:

De verdad no tenemos queja.

City living with great access to everything San Jose
Pros:

I stayed in a loft apartment, and I had more than enough room. It felt like an apartment. What I loved most was the location. I was in the heart of all the attractions, and I was able to walk to see all of the sites. I was also near many restaurants to eat. It was well worth the money I spent.

Cons:

I wouldn't say I didn't like it, but I like to warn people. If you rent a loft apartment, please be aware that access to the loft is via a ladder, not stairs. So if you have a fear of heights or aren't sure-footed, then it may present a problem. After two passes, I was able to master getting up and down without fear. They do have apartments available that aren't lofts.
