The Internet was good. Location also. Jennifer was quick to respond to questions. Spacious. Good air circulation. A fan or two would have been helpful along with reading lamps, but we were quite content.
We loved our stay at the Artist Condo in Barrio Dent. The condo was perfect with great space, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, kitchen, sitting room and laundry! Great view of the mountains from our windows. It is in a nice neighborhood that is walking distance to everything we wanted to see. We would definitely stay there again!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at The Artist Condo and appreciated the spacious layout — the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms definitely make it comfortable for families or groups.
It’s great to know the location worked well for you too — being next to Automercado and within walking distance to San Pedro Mall and UCR makes exploring the area so convenient.
We truly enjoyed hosting you and would love to welcome you back anytime!

Away from the hubbub of the inner city but still easy access.
We liked the convenience of a nearby well stocked supermarket and proximity to major street with bus service. Bring your earplugs though as the sounds of the street/cars are quite loud at night.
All in all we had lots of room for us and the apartments’ kitchen was better outfitted than expected. Despite a snag in our checkin we would come back and stay here

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at The Artist Condo. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the spacious layout and the better-than-expected kitchen setup — we love hearing that our guests feel at home.
While the lively street sounds can be part of city life, we understand it may be a bit much at night — thank you for the suggestion, and we’ll look into ways to help guests sleep more soundly. We also appreciate your patience with the check-in process and are working to improve it.
We're glad you found the location convenient, with easy access to transport and stores. Many of our guests also enjoy the natural light throughout the apartment — something we’ve taken care to preserve for a bright and welcoming feel.
We’d be delighted to host you again anytime!

Wonderful place to stay in every aspect -- recommend 200%!
Excellent communication with property owner from the very beginning. She went above and beyond, even offering airport transportation option. Apartment is literally next to a great grocery store, and is within easy walking distance of so many restaurants, several museums, the iconic Mercado Central, train station, very unique Starbucks, a mall, numerous parks, and more. So convenient. Very secure/safe property with remote-operated main entrance to building and solid lock on apartment door. Property is so well equipped -- super kitchen that lacked nothing for us. Many basic cooking consumables available (soaps, spices, cooking oil, coffee, filter, coffee maker, cleaning supplies). Very clean all around, spacious, and comfortable. Good closet space. Great wi-fi and TV channel options. We were thrilled to have a washing machine with plenty of detergent and fabric softener available. Laundry room has unique overhead clothes drying rack, vice clothes drying machine, but with a little planning, we easily had fresh, clean, and dry clothes just 24 hours after washing. Plenty of hot water for our group of six. Huge sliding glass door opens for such nice outside airflow. Very nice view to the mountains north of San Jose. Cannot say enough positive things about the property and its owner. The artwork is very unique and such a great touch. We feel so lucky to have found this gem, which got our 12-day trip off to a perfect first five days. We would immediately stay here again and will always look for that opportunity. We love, love, love this apartment.
