Other things to note
Important Considerations for Your Stay
Noise
This apartment is located next to the busiest avenue connecting downtown San José with the eastern suburbs. Additionally, train lines run both north and south of the building, with a nearby train station just a few blocks away.
San José wakes up early, and while the apartment sits 21 floors above street level, the sounds of cars, buses, and especially trains begin in the early morning. Earplugs are highly recommended for light sleepers, and this may not be the ideal choice for guests who require complete silence.
Air Conditioning
This unit does not have air conditioning, but San José’s year-round temperatures range between 18°C and 26°C (65°F to 79°F), which is comfortable by most standards.
To promote energy conservation, we firmly believe that air conditioning is unnecessary and that there’s no such thing as an environmentally friendly unit. Instead, the apartment is equipped with fans, and keeping the shades closed in the afternoon helps maintain a cooler indoor temperature.

Quotes over Barrio Escalante:
"Known for its expansive, mid-20th-century residences, the neighborhood called Escalante is now filled with restaurants and bars as well, along with shops that sell locally designed objects. The food scene in Escalante has turned it into a bit of a destination, night and day. The neighborhood’s streets are home to the new Festival La Luz food events, featuring more than 40 stands and food trucks. The festivals, which happen at different times of the year and are announced by posters and in the paper, tend to be organized around a culinary theme—say, Costa Rican, Italian, Mexican—and so far, they’ve been a smash." - AFAR
"Formerly a residential enclave, the streets of this increasingly hip neighborhood are now lined with dozens of restaurants, cafes, bakeries and bars. The largest concentration of eateries stretches along Calle 33 and has been dubbed Paseo Gastronómico La Luz (La Luz Restaurant Promenade) in honor of a small grocery store that used to stand on the street’s corner facing Avenida Central. Crowds of foodies descend on Barrio Escalante on weekend evenings, when finding parking becomes a very tall order." - Lonely Planet
