    If you are wanting to visit Cartago for a few days, this is a great place to stay. Solo or family Randall and Yvonne handled my booking with care and gave clear instructions on how to find their home. The bedroom I had was clean and comfortable....

    The hosts spoke great english and were super nice, they basically booked the tickets to Irazú volcano for us, told us all about the bus there, let us leave our baggage after check out with them and made us a great breakfast for a reasonable price....

The house is in front of "Asembis" clinic. The neighborhood is one of the best places to stay in Cartago downtown. From here you can conveniently go to several places in Costa Rica since we are in Central Valley, 45min from San Jose, 2 hours from Puntarenas and an hour and a half from the airport. Nearby you can find supermarkets, pharmacies, gas station, restaurants, cafeterias etc
