Would YOU use AIRBNB or a HOTEL?
$40 OFF your first Airbnb stay:
We are in San Jose, Costa Rica and decided to take a break from our traditional routine of staying in hotels and booked an AIrbnb for the first time. This condo offered a beautiful view of the city and mountains, a full kitchen, and a beautiful bedroom and bathroom. A hotel is typically about $120/night in the La Sabana area and this condo listed on Airbnb was only $40/night which we found to be a great value for the price. We will be using Airbnb again sometime in the future after this great experience! Make sure to subscribe so you won't miss our next adventure.

Caravan tour, Costa Rica, and Hotel Aranjuez, San Jose
This is a slideshow of the Caravan tour from January 2013 which lasted 10 days. The Hotel Aranjuez is NOT part of that tour. I stayed there an extra 3 days. I did not have a zoom on my tablet camera, so taking pictures of wildlife was impossible. Not that there was much to see anyway.
The following slideshow has some added pictures I wasn't able to capture:
The following links have some moving pictures from another trip:
Here's another video from 2008 which shows some different locations. This video has sound:

These people were incredibly lucky. When I was there, most animals were playing dead.

The Feria Verde, or Green Farmers’ Market, is held every Saturday in the Aranjuez neighborhood of San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital.

Casa Alfi Hotel San Jose Costa Rica
Casa Alfi is a boutique hotel (some say B & B) in the center of San Jose, Costa Rica conveniently located 200 meters south, on the new pedestrian boulevard from the National Theatre, Grand Hotel and Plaza de la Cultura- talk about location, location, location.
D'Angelo and myself got a chance to stay at Casa Alfi for a couple nights to check the place out. And I gotta say we were happy we did. At first, with the low rates, one wouldn't expect too much, maybe a step-up or two from an overpriced hostel, but that is not the case with Casa Alfi. Casa Alfi has its own eclectic charm as the place has somewhat of a Hemingway feel about it, with its various antiques, artwork and wood fixtures about. Even the birdcage is no ordinary birdcage. Alfi, the owner (duh!), is an artist, poet and a great chef, hell, he may be Hemingway reincarnated, who's to say. But Alfi has done quite a bit of traveling himself (again, a Hemingway reference) so he makes for some great conversation over a cocktail or two.
We would say Casa Alfi Hotel is best suited for business men, backpackers who need a nice place for a few days after traveling in the 'hostel' world, those traveling on a budget, couple's, or people who want to be centrally located around shopping, restaurants, museums and other points of interest in San Jose or ANYONE who want's a nice place to stay without paying through the nose to stay there.
If you're interested in a central location and budget prices you might want to CHECK OUT this video to see if the Casa Alfi Hotel is worth a visit.
