Casa 69 San José
A rooftop terrace and a garden patio in one house
About this stay
Two outdoor spaces in one building is the rare thing here: a garden patio at ground level, shaded and planted, and a rooftop terrace above it with the Central Valley ridges on the horizon and the roofs of the museum quarter in between. Guests tend to use one in the morning and the other at dusk. The rooms in between are relaxed rather than formal, in a house run as a bed and breakfast. Six minutes on foot reaches the National Museum of Costa Rica, four the Parada KFC bus stop and three El Buen Comer. Free Wi-Fi, parking and an airport shuttle are on the listing, the property is smoke-free and kid-friendly facilities are confirmed. The score is nine out of ten across four hundred and forty-seven reviews, which is a solid sample.

- Airport shuttle, smoke-free property
Our take
The rooftop terrace and the garden patio give this bed and breakfast two outdoor spaces most city stays lack, and a 9.0 on 447 ratings shows guests value it. The National Museum is six minutes away on foot, and El Buen Comer three. The airport is thirty-two minutes by taxi, so I would use the listed shuttle. I would book it for a calm, walkable San José base.
- ✓Take the roof terrace at dusk and the garden patio in the morning, the two spaces work at opposite ends of the day.
- ✓Walk six minutes to the National Museum rather than taking a bus, the route passes through the quieter museum streets.
- ✓Eat at El Buen Comer three minutes away, it is the neighbourhood kitchen rather than a tourist address.
