Central located and really comfortable.
Pros: Very modern, very clean - cotton sheets, A/C and the best shower we used in Central America!
Cons: Hard to think of anything but if I were to be super picky I would mention that fact that the property sits at the back of an existing home - although the owner of existing home was super nice.

Great location, great accommodation!
Pros: An amazing appartement in the center of La Fortuna. There is a place for 1 car behind a gate and the owner is a sweet lady, but she only speaks Spanish. Her son handels the reservations and talks English. We had a great time here!

Pros: Our stay in La Fortuna would not have been the same without Maikol! Maikol and his mom are really nice and welcoming hosts who helped us with everything and set up all the tours and activities for us, which were all very good quality and very good prices aswell. If you're at this apartment, you're definitely in good hands! The apartment itself is located very centrally and in walking distance from everything in La Fortuna. It's very modern and clean and has all the amenities needed for a nice and relaxing stay. Thank you again to Maikol and his mom for everything, we really got to make the most of our trip with you and we would of course recommend staying here to everyone visiting this beautiful town!

Fantastic modern apartment in a quiet but practical location and with a very attentive host.
Pros: Door lock is via PIN, so no need to carry (and possibly forget) keys. Location is excellent - close to many restaurants and supermarkets, but far enough from the tourist path. There's a private garden area where I was able to work from several mornings to get my sun, amidst the chirping of the birds. Maikol helped me book all of the after-work activities I've done in La Fortuna. He also went above and beyond in ensuring I was satisfied with those activities even though he wasn't the tour operator.
Cons: The Internet speed varied greatly depending on the time of the day (from 10 Mbps to 200 Mbps), but this is due to the ISP, not something that can be controlled from the apartment. Prepare a Plan B (e.g. mobile data) if speed is a requirement at certain times.

Well-located, clean bungalow
Pros: This is a small cottage behind the family's house, in a central, relatively quiet part of La Fortuna (relatively as the town is super touristy and busy in the evenings). We appreciated that everything was pretty much new and very clean, the well functioning AC, the small kitchenette stocked to prepare basic meals, and access to a washing machine. There is parking in front of the house, behind a metal gate. Access to Volcan Arenal and other attractions is within a 15-30 minute drive. Restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and mini markets are all within easy walking distance.
Cons: We had to buy our own detergent for the washing machine. Kitchen equipment is pretty basic so best suited for small meals and the high-top table in the kitchen is not suitable for younger children or people with mobility limitations. It would have been nice to have a comfortable place to sit - there is only a camping-style foldable two-seater in the main living area.
