If you want excellent accommodation (very nice rooms in a lovely garden setting) and hosptitality (a friendly, lively, and unendingly helpful host in Ginette) then Casa Laurin is the place for you. I was in San Jose on business and stayed for a week. Glad i did! In this B&B you can be as private as you like when you need to work (given the great bedrooms & multiple lounge areas) and also meet the very interesting mix of guests that the house attracts (myself excluded, being an accountant). For example, I met a reiki master from the US who fixed my neck, a postgraduate student from UK who taught me lots about indigenous tribes, a yoga/pilates instructor who later posted me her exercise book ( possibly a hint in that for me) and Canadian professors who know a thing or 2 about central American rum. Cosa Rica appears to be a country of huge diversity, interest, colour, liveliness and friendliness - and Casa Laurin reflects all of these things.
