Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cinco Esquinas

This isn’t just an Airbnb—it’s an experience clearly crafted by artistic souls who care deeply about beauty, comfort, and good energy. Every corner of the home radiates creativity and warmth, like a love letter to Costa Rica itself. The vibe is unforgettable—tropical, soulful, and effortlessly cool. The space is beautifully stocked with everything we needed and more. From cozy linens to charming little details, you can feel the thoughtful touch everywhere. We felt safe, relaxed, and completely at home. And the garage? A total bonus, especially for peace of mind. Thank you for sharing this special slice of Pura Vida. We’re leaving inspired, grateful, and already dreaming of our return.

The gardens were a wonderfully peaceful respite. It was like taking a vacation while on vacation. The room was great, as described, and even had a dehumidifier available. The property is away from the city (we were able to Uber in and out of the city without too much issue - just a delay in finding a driver one night. We loved exploring and having our morning coffee in the gardens. We didn’t meet Phil, and we weren’t able to get a gate opener for our stay, but it worked out OK with two of us (one to drive the car and the other to get out and operate the gate).

Calling this home “little” is not quite accurate, because it is much more spacious than some of the other places we have stayed. The rooms are large and well laid out. The kitchen is a bit informal but it has everything you need. There are ceiling fans and a nice breeze that keep it cool. Lee is a great host who has lived in the neighborhood for many years. He is friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is colorful and full of historical buildings. There are many parks and restaurants nearby. Overall, this home provides great value, and l highly recommend it.

I had a great stay in San José. The house was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. Check-in was smooth, and the host was very responsive and quick to resolve any issues that came up during my stay. It was a perfect base for exploring the city and surrounding areas. I’d definitely stay here again.

We were seduced by this magnificent house with old charm. Interior decorated simply and tastefully. The house has everything you need. Please note that the parking space is not suitable for large cars. We recommend this beautiful place and will definitely return!

I enjoyed my stay and I look forward to coming back.

Veronica's studio is nice and comfortable, I recommend it. Veronica is friendly and very quick to respond at all times.

Our flight was delayed and Giulio met us in the dead of night and guided us to his place and then his lovely wife made us a late dinner. The view alone is worth staying here! One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had!

What a nice place, everything is beautiful. Thank you very much to Mauricio and his mother, all their generosity.

I would say if you stay for a short time it’s 5 stars a long term stay would likely be 4 stars due to noise. The good Allan was great and responsive. The first day the coffee maker was broken and Allan replaced same day when I told him. It is close to Barrio Escalante and great restaurants and La Cali for nightlife. It’s a great location between San Jose Centro and San Pedro. It’s also close to Parque National that has great location. The building is great, a good gym, small pool, coworking area, laundry room and great bilingual door staff. The not so good, it will be noisy between the train and La Cali it will be loud and need to close the window. The mattress was initially a problem as the springs went directly into my body but figured out the mattress was on the wrong side and after flipping it was a lot better. Overall if you want to be in the heart of the action this is a good place to be. If you want peace and quiet would look at another location.

I loved the place, super comfortable, it feels like home, safe and quiet place. Highly recommended.

Excellent place, I recommend it 100%, just like it was in the photos, very comfortable and I felt at home

We stay here every time we come in San Jose- always clean, comfortable and quiet for being in the middle of a big city. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Excellent place, very quiet. The area is very convenient.

Perfect place and location. Very walkable area with a ton of options for food, drinks and arts. Gabriel is a great and responsive host. His suggestions was on point. Would definitely stay again.

The apartment is very nice, very comfortable, it has everything you could need during your stay.

Simply excellent! From Miguel's response time to the time of check out.

Great complex with awesome amenities

Beautiful place and great price. Would highly recommend if staying in San Jose area. Host is super responsive and helpful. Checkin and out directions are super clear and a private parking space is available.

Perfect landing spot in the city, fantastic facilities. Wish we had more days and would have stayed longer just to explore the building and surrounding restaurants.

The apartment is beautifully decorated, well appointed, very very clean and in a vibrant and walkable neighborhood. The host is kind and responds quickly.

Just as pictured, veryyyyyy clean!!! I also really appreciated how responsive Jorge was. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this listing. The location was also really close to restaurants, I would recommend Naans & Curries….sooooo good!

Very kind and the apartment is super comfortable

Great place to stay if you’re in San José. The view from the 21st level is stunning and the building itself has an interesting concept. There’s plenty to do. Erick was always very responsive and answered all our questions with clarity and friendliness.
