This is a great little home-stay style property, practically next to the airport. I had a private room with a shared bathroom, and breakfast included. My plane arrived after 11 pm and they offered airport pick up for a small fee. It was a safe and easy walk into Alajuela. The family is welcoming and courteous and you can chill in the back garden and listen to the birds.
