  Ester's Place is a rare find in San Jose area, enjoy!

  Liked : Lovley home and outstanding Hosts! The location couldn't be better, walking distance to an upscale mall with many shops and restaurants. Very convenient! The neighborhood felt very safe and friendly.

  Disliked : Our stay couldn't have been better! I would happily recommend Ester's Place to anyone in search of a fabulous home away from home experience!

  They should be charging more for the facilities they have.

  Liked : The people that run the place are very down to earth, very nice people indeed. The room was very large, and very nice. You can walk to just about any type of store you need within 11 to 15 minutes. Saves you quite a bit on transportation to say the least.

  Disliked : I got used to most of the places that I stay in here were high in the mountains. Being down in the city you don't have that view. If you don't plan to spend too much time in your room you probably could care less!

  Wonderful stay in Escazu.

  Liked : Ester's Place was a wonderful find! Clean, beautifully decorated, in a very safe neighborhood, and in close proximity to Hospital CIMA and a bougie shopping district with a variety of restaurants. A great value for the money! Bonus was the lovely balcony off of the front bedroom with a peek-a-boo mountain view! Highly recommended.

  Disliked : Nothing! We had a wonderful stay.

  Our New Forever Home In Escazu, the San Jose suburb.

  Liked : Ester's Place is an elegant home in the very upscale neighborhood of Escazu, just maybe 15 minutes to downtown San Jose, should you ever desire to go there! Not as nice as it used to be :( We felt very safe there. Our room was huge and the beds and linens were high quality and super comfortable. The Costa Rica coffee is superb. Ester and her family are lovely! She is open and eager and thankful for feedback and put suggestions right into action. She's always working to improve her accommodations to make them as perfect as possible. It's a 4-star residence at a 2-star price. It will now be our home any time we visit Costa Rica.

  Disliked : There were a few little details which Ester is already at working fixing up. Our only disappointment was no included breakfasts -- but Ester is so accommodating that I think she might have fed us if we had asked!

  Great location, wonderful host, superb value.

  Liked : Ester is a delightful host. She warmly welcomed us, and made it clear that we could consider her our place our home for as long as we stayed. The location is excellent, near good restaurants and shops, the room was very quiet and comfortable, and it was a superb value. thanks, Ester! We are happy to recommend you.

  Liked : I stay in San Jose lots traveling through, and this is the first time I have stayed at Ester's place. The place was a breath of fresh air from what I am used to. The staff, which is a husband and wife, and a delightful maid were extraordinary friendly and helpful during check-in/ out. The property is in a super safe and nice area of Escazu. The facility itself is very nice with a community kitchen that is well stocked with things that you can use. The room itself was huge, way larger than a hotel room, and had a nice balcony. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in San Jose for shopping or heading to or from the airport.

  Disliked : Absolutely nothing, I couldn't have better things to say about this place.
