Host is very easy to communicate with. House seems brand new inside and outside. Very well kept grounds and garden areas. Pictures are very accurate in the listing. Nice close location to Volcan Tenorio Park Entrance. Amenities are great and just as advertised. Plenty of Hot Water. Self Check-in with key lock-box works well. Thanks to Rick and Ashley for sharing this with us.
