I came to Costa Rica in 2012, at that time I was just a traveler, but when I arrived here on that September, I fell in love with the country right away. It was rainy season here in Costa Rica, The fresh air, all green in my eyes, the people always smiling, I know I find the right place to live ! So I went back to China, packing all my things, bringing my parents, also our three cats and a Golden Retriever, and here we are ! I love meeting people from different parts of the world so I am now hosting this place, I will do my best to make your stay as comfortable as possible! Here will be your home away from the home ! Anything that you need, just let me know. Enjoy your stay in Costa Rica ! Pura Vida !
Our neighbourhood is a very quiet community, with private guard in the corner, you will feel safe here. We also have 2 parks nearby, you will be surrounded by the fresh air and bird singing.
