The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The location was quite convenient to downtown and the attractions. Darrylle was a great host, serving beer and cookies upon arrival and providing a lift to the airport early in the morning.

We stayed at Casa Abierta a couple of times during our stay in San Jose in May 2012. Darrylle´s home is gorgeous: it is beautifully decorated, spacious, full of interesting art and thoroughly comfortable. The patio attached to the dining room is a little paradise. Darrylle was the perfect host. He was accommodating, full of useful information, very friendly and... More

My husband and I travel extensively, prefer B&Bs and have had many wonderful experiences. This has been the best ever. Darrylle is the consummate host: gracious, generous, interesting, helpful. His home is beautifully appointed--the bedding is scrumptious. Breakfast at Casa Abierta is memorable. Safe neighborhood for walking to nearby terrific restaurant for dinner. We recommend Casa Abierta wholeheartedly.

Stayed for one night at Casa Abierta B & B before flying out the following morning. A perfect room with shared bathroom in a very pleasant and comfortable home. Wish I could have stayed for longer. Darrylle was the perfect host serving coffee/tea and cookies(!) at arrival. He is a very warm and friendly person with many interesting experiences and... More

My husband and I spent our first night of our honeymoon at Casa Abierta. Darryle greeted us with a smile at the airport and took such great care of us from that moment on. I think with Darryle it might be impossible not to love this guy. He is so open and friendly that I literally sat and talked with... More

Casa Abierta, while not in the heart of San Jose, is in a very convenient location as a starting point to explore (by foot or by bus) San Jose or other parts of Costa Rica. The owner/operator, Darrylle, provides everything you need to start your explorations including a map of the city and its surroundings. And the B&B itself offers... More

Two thumbs up for Casa Abierta!! My host, Darrylle, made every effort to ensure my stay in San Jose was enjoyable and worry-free from arranging airport transportation to providing delicious home-cooked meals. The house is clean and cozy offering fast WIFI, a great location in a safe neighborhood and a peaceful environment. I will definitely return to Casa Abierta!

On my first trip to Costa Rica a friend and I spent several nights enjoying this wonderfully inviting B&B. The owner of Casa Abierta, Darrylle, makes you feel welcomed and special from the moment you arrive. He literally opens his home to his guests. The guest quarters are very comfortable and clean with bright, airy rooms. Darrylle provides a luscious... More

We stayed in Casa Abierta on the last night of our stay in Costa Rica. What an amazing stay! My husband and I were overwhelmed by Darrylle's hospitality, modesty and affection. He is incredibly well-traveled, very well read and is an extremely good conversationalist. He also set us up with a sort of guide, Marlon, who knows San Jose very... More
