San José: Kaps Place

Lonely Planet Review

A colorful little guesthouse on a residential street in Barrio Aranjuez, Kaps has 24 small, homey rooms of various configurations spread over two buildings. Run by Karla Arias, this is decidedly a family place: expect to see kids playing in the yucca plant–filled courtyard or hopping on the trampoline. Also, the guesthouse staff can arrange babysitting upon request. Patios are strung with hammocks and the public areas are wonderfully decorated in bright mosaics. There is free internet and Spanish, English and French are spoken. The second building is around the corner on Av 11 between Calles 19 & 21.
