Please note: the apartment faces a street with daytime activity, which may bring some urban sounds during the day — a small trade-off for being so well located and connected. Most guests find it part of the lively charm of the area.
The apartment is located in the BE CARIARI Condominium, within Plaza Real Cariari, a vibrant commercial center featuring shops, restaurants, cafés, drugstores, and more. A WeWork co-working space is also part of the complex, perfect for professionals and remote workers.
Within the Be Cariari Condominium itself, you'll find additional amenities including shops, a veterinary clinic, and a convenience mini-market—ideal for those last-minute essentials.
Additionally, EPA, a large home improvement and hardware store, is just a 3-minute drive away, right across the bridge.
Purpose of our House Rules
Our house rules are designed to ensure a safe, respectful, and comfortable experience for all guests, neighbors, and staff. By requesting to book, guests confirm that they have read, understood, and agree to fully comply with these rules.
We accept reservations from guests whose travel plans, communication style, and expectations are aligned with our house rules and hosting standards.
Clear and respectful communication is required before and during the stay. Guests must provide sufficient trip details and respond promptly to messages in order for a reservation to be confirmed.
Reservations may be declined if guests do not explicitly confirm that they have read and agree to all house rules prior to arrival.
Only registered guests listed in the reservation are allowed on the property at any time. Visitors, events, or gatherings are not permitted unless explicitly approved in writing.
Quiet hours must be respected at all times. This property is not suitable for parties or disruptive behavior.
Guests are expected to treat the property, furnishings, and amenities with care. Any damage or misuse may result in additional charges.
The property must be kept in reasonable condition throughout the stay. Excessive mess or improper use of the space is not permitted.
We reserve the right to decline or cancel a reservation if we determine, prior to check-in, that the stay may not be aligned with our house rules or hosting standards.
By submitting a booking request, guests confirm that they have read, understood, and agree to comply with all house rules and policies.
Air Conditioning Use:
Please remember to switch off the air conditioning when leaving the apartment. Electricity costs in Costa Rica are high, and the 24,000 BTU unit cools the space quickly due to its capacity.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Guests are expected to take reasonable care of the property and its contents. In the event that any items are damaged or missing, the following replacement costs may apply:
• Bath Towels: $25 each
• Bed Sheets: $65 per set
• Duvets or Duvet Covers: $65 each
• Wine / Kitchen Glasses: $7 each
For larger items (such as appliances or furniture), repair or replacement costs will be assessed based on the actual cost required.
Any applicable charges will be managed in accordance with Airbnb’s Resolution Center policies.
When you book with us, you'll enjoy full access to the building’s amenities, including the swimming pool, gym, lounge, meeting rooms, and social terrace (the last four require prior reservation).

The apartment offers vibrant city energy with its convenient location. While the area is lively during the day, our guests usually find it to be a comfortable and enjoyable space to relax after a day's activities but also love the easy access to nearby attractions.

? Seasonal Notice
From December to March, you may notice some mosquitoes after 5–6 PM. They’re harmless but love warm indoor spaces — so please keep windows and balcony doors closed after sunset to avoid unexpected dinner guests ?. Thanks for your understanding!
? Tropical Country Notice
Remember, Costa Rica has a tropical climate, which means insects are naturally more active in warm and humid environments, especially at night.
Even though we fumigate every 3 months using organic, non-toxic certified products, it’s still possible to see a few tiny sugar ants or other small visitors. Don’t worry — they’re harmless and only looking for food (not you ?). In Costa Rica, we usually just wipe them with vinegar and they’re gone!
To help minimize any unwanted visitors inside the apartment, please follow these simple recommendations:
• Clean spills immediately, especially sugary, greasy, or starchy ones.
• Store all food in sealed, airtight containers.
• Clean kitchen appliances regularly (fridge, oven, microwave, toaster), including behind and under them.
• Avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink for long periods.
• After your pet eats, remove any leftover food promptly.
• Take out the trash frequently and make sure bags are tightly closed.
• Avoid accumulating boxes, newspapers, or cardboard — insects love to hide there.
• Keep storage areas dry; moisture attracts insects.
• Report any water leaks immediately so we can address them quickly.
These small steps go a long way in keeping your space fresh, clean, and comfortable throughout your stay ?

⚡️ Lights & Electricity Use
We kindly ask for your help conserving energy:
• Turn off lights, air conditioning ( If Applied ), fans, and appliances when not in use or when leaving the apartment.
• Avoid leaving appliances running unattended.
• Keep windows and doors closed while using the A/C to maintain efficiency and comfort.
? Water Usage
Water is a precious resource in Costa Rica. Please help us save it:
• Turn off faucets tightly after use.
• Take reasonable-length showers to avoid waste.
• Report any leaks or dripping taps immediately.
? Proper Toilet Use
To prevent plumbing issues and keep the system working smoothly:
• Only toilet paper should be flushed.
• Do not flush wipes, feminine products, paper towels, or any other items (even if labeled “flushable”).
• Use a reasonable amount of toilet paper.
• Dispose of all other waste in the provided bin.
⚠️ Note: Blockages can be very costly and may require your cooperation if improper items are flushed. Thank you for your understanding.
? Appliance Use
Please treat all appliances with care:
• Read and follow the instructions for each appliance.
• Avoid overloading the washer or dryer and when loading, try to distribute the weight of the clothes evenly around the washing machine tank to prevent it from hitting only one side and possibly damaging or breaking the machine.
• Clean the microwave, oven, and toaster after use to prevent buildup.
• Never place metallic objects inside the microwave.
• Do not leave the stove, iron, or any appliance running unattended.
• Report any malfunctioning appliance as soon as possible.
? Smart Devices & Controls
Some apartments are equipped with smart locks, gateways, sensors, and smart A/C controls for your comfort and safety.
• These systems are automatically managed — please do not unplug, reset, or manipulate them.
• If you experience any issue with locks, gateways, or A/C controls, just notify us — we can handle it remotely or send assistance if needed.
• Tampering with these devices may cause loss of access, system errors, or unnecessary service calls.
? Thank You for Your Cooperation
We truly appreciate your support in keeping the apartment running efficiently and sustainably.
