Set just 6.2 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park, F&M Guesthouse provides accommodation in San José with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as full-day security. The property has garden and quiet street views, and is 50 km from Poas National Park. The bed and breakfast also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The breakfast was absolutely amazing! Additionally, Fabien went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, got settled into Costa Rica, and literally went above and beyond in every single way to help me with whatever I needed. The home is small, but extremely clean. He was very respectful of my space and my needs and I felt completely safe and comfortable. This is a property I would highly recommend to anyone looking to spend a day or two in San Jose. His local knowledge and willingness to share that and assist me was truly exceptional. I will encourage any family and friends heading to Costa Rica to start their trip with him.
