The residence is not as spacious as depicted in photos. Anymore than 2 people are going to be uncomfortable because the upstairs ceiling is just over 4 ft high and the fold out couch needs to be rotated to make it possible to open, after which it fills the entire living room area. The place is listed on airbnb to support 6 guests and we came in a group of 6, the number of our party was discussed with the proprietor months prior to arrival. Upon arrival Silvio told me that he if would have known there were 6 individuals he would have told me to find another residence. You can imagine my hesitancy at this point, seeing that Silvio is lying to my face.

When we addressed these issues with Silvio, who previously was very kind and accommodating, he became irate. After a period of yelling he took the keys and left us and our bags on the street. Thankfully, the airbnb staff we were extraordinarily helpful in resolving the matter. We found a beautiful place to spend the rest of our vacation and this 5 hr long nightmare became just another good story.

In regards to the rest of the apartment, let me just say that it's one of those places you would tolerate but never return to. Don't lower your standards and stay here because you are in another country. As to the location, it's in a seedy area within Monteverde and you must take a bus to get anywhere of interest.
