La Talanguera Studios simply have it all..location, design, saftey and amenities

My husband and I stayed in unit 302 for 1 week. We really appreciated the location of the townhome as it was close enough to town to easily walk to/from but far enough away from the louder "party" scene on Sunday FunDay downtown:) The townhome was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We used the A/C for maybe 30 minutes/night as we were not sure if it was safe to leave our screen porch door open after dark? Not that we ever felt unsafe anywhere in SJDS, just wanted to play it smart. We had great communication with the owner leading up to our trip to SJDS but got a little frustrated with the VERY generic description/address/directions given to us as our taxi driver on 2 occasions had no idea what part of town we were talking about and we got very lost getting there initially. Once we became familiar with the location, obviously it got easier. I also wish the owner would better distinguish the photosposted to determine which photos go with which townhome (as they rent two different/but similar studio apartments there) as the photos we saw seemed to better match the other townhome and showed a water dispenser in the kitchen and so we assumed there was a water dispenser in our townhome and so didn't purchase water when we stopped by a quick-mart store on our way there. When we arrived, we realized the townhome did not contain a water dispenser and so we were without water until we could go to the store the next day. I would also love a better explanation/calculation/information about the electricity charges placed against our security deposit. I totally understand that electricity is way more expensive in SJDS and so we were very conscientious of our use of it but were still charged $33 afterwards. Would just appreciate knowing the information as to how that amount was determined. However, bottom line is that the townhome is very nice, in a very nice community and located in a great town. We LOVED SJDS and appreciated having this townhome to stay in while we were there. I would recommend this location to anyone looking but would suggest getting a little more information from the owner related to what was mentioned above.

Had perfect weather in Nicaragua. Used San Juan Del Sur as a base to explore nearby beaches. This complex is an interesting design around a beautiful tree. Nice quite pool to cool down. The unit was clean but pretty basic outfitting. Wifi only worked only worked 2 out of 7 days. Seemed to only be my unit. Problem was not resolved. Upon check out I was on a timeline to leave. They were 45 minutes late to meet up at the agreed time. There was no where to just leave the key or lock the door with the secured inside. Apologies were give but both of these situations created difficulties for this stay. A car or even better an SUV are pretty much a must.

Stayed for a week over Christmas 2017. Jeff and Yanaisy were very helpful getting stuff organized prior to our arrival and during our stay. The location is great, close to the city but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet as well. Walked from the condo to town during the day, and took cabs at night. Cabs during the day were 5 dollars and cabs at night ranged from 6 dollars to 10 depending on the cab driver; if you find a good cab driver with a reasonable rate keep his card!

The studio itself was stylish and clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you should need for day to day meals.

Would stay here again, Thanks Jeff!

We stayed in one of the studios for 2 weeks and really enjoyed it. The walk to town by beach is about 15 minutes but it is an easy walk. Yanaisy,, the caretaker was there to meet us when we arrived and was always available if anything was needed. Jeff and Julie were also great in responding to any questions or concerns we had. The bed in the unit is "very" comfortable and there are a nice variety of pots, pans dishes etc, which we have found to be lacking in other places we have stayed. There is construction going on, but we knew this in advance and it is not that bad at all. Great place to stay!

The studio was exactly as seen on the pictures, however there is construction on the site (right next door) so there is a lot of dust and noise. If we would have been informed before booking, we would have looked somewhere else. Allthough we have traveled and lived all over the world, for a short vacation the situation was unacceptable to us. We were charged 45$ extra for electricity for 4 days during which we never used a/c. Communication prior to arrival was also difficult, we finally got the location of the condo the night before an early international flight after having to insist a couple of times.
