“In La Fortuna, this is a great option, mere steps from the bus terminal and central plaza; its well-equipped kitchen and calming atmosphere really stand out. I especially appreciate its commitment to safety, with locking gates and individual room locks, perfect for solo female travelers; this place seems to balance convenience and a secure, welcoming environment quite well.”
