***If you need PARKING, please ask for availability, is just ONE parking spot*** The place is a big house located in one of the best places to live in Cartago, the location is pretty convenient and everything is nearby.

This is a quiet and calm place *NO parties are allowed *Smoking is NOT allowed *NO drugs are allowed *No noice after 10pm *Kitchen and bathroom are shared areas ***Also, we have two cats that live in the property***
We welcome you to our home in Cartago! Thank you Le damos la bienvenida a nuestro hogar en Cartago! Gracias
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
