This was one of the coolest places we’ve ever rented. The house was spacious and simply beautiful. They’ve clearly put so much love into this home. Also, the owner was incredibly communicative and even suggested places to eat and fun activities nearby.

This lodging is La Sabana is very wonderful. We particularly loved the sun room/covered porch on the second floor. The bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen was relatively spacious. The lodging is close to a large park and not far from downtown San Jose. We appreciated that the lodging included a covered garage for 1 car. The host is very attentive and responsive.
