Stop press! We are offering this place to one responsible person for a special price of just $395 (this is well below market value) and it includes all the furnishings and equipment. If you are more than one wanting to rent, and you want the utilities included, let's still talk a good deal that's fair for you and us. Just email us ASAP at: costa.rica.apartment.rentals@gmail.com
Please read on for more info, from the original advertisement (some of these conditions subject to change so let's talk about every aspect). Thanks! :-) Please note that some furnishings have been added, and some changed from the original photos that appear below. However, it's a great place, and better than last year. Just email us for more info.

Easy access location just east of Curridabat's HiperMas Hypermaket
and west of Tres Rio's TerraMall.
Free Wireless Internet has been available and should still be working fine for light use. The home also comes with connections for lowcost landline telephone and ADSL (Acelera) internet. Cable TV & CABLE Internet (Amnet, Cabletica & Cablevision) can also be installed at tenants' request.
It's a fantastic, secure, small furnished house (90M2 or 1000 sqF) in a commercial/residencial zone just a block from the main freeway heading east from Curridabat, and just 50 meters from the bus stop and a supermarket, and beside a Chinese restaurant.
This place is designed for the comfort of foreigners who want value, want to be close to public transport, stores and restaurants (Chinese next door, Italian a block away), want to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of a middle class family-oriented suburb on the east side of the gran area metropolitana (Greater San Jose). It's ideal for people working in the Curridabat/Tres Rios areas. And ideal because it's already fully furnished and has so much going for it.
Laundry area comes with large cupboards and is equipped with a compact washing machine, with special 220v connection for a possible dryer. It is completely covered with a sun roof but with good fresh air ventilation.
The dining area comes with a four seater dining table as shown.
Kitchen comes with plentiful cupboard/storage space, and is equipped with a great stove/oven and good fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, some pots, cups, plates, glasses, and silverware.
The living area comes with a two-seater sofa and two easy chairs, and TV furniture stand.
All lights and drapes throughout the home are included.
We are renting this great place even with an iron and ironing board. Really... you are almost set up on arrival with this great value rental!
The Master Bedroom comes with a good bed and orthopedic mattress. Much nicer than in this older photo.
The Master Bedroom also offers great closet space as well as the white drawer-set featured.
The Bathroom is equipped with a hot water tank and a real bathtub and shower, and offers good storage space.
Secondary Bedroom comes furnished now with two great single beds.
The secondary bedroom closet is great for extra storage.
We would like to short or long term, it can be a few weeks or months or a year, as long as it includes a defined finish date. Length of rental and advanced payment will vary rental rate.
The $495 monthly advertised for Februrary/March, is a special offer on the basis of one person renting for at least 6 months, and utilities included are basic landline telephone & ADSL internet, electric and water.
The refundable security bond for the home is equivalent to two month's rental (due to our house being furnished with valuable items and problems with past tenants) and the refundable security bond for services is $150 (due to the normal 6-week delay with some utility bills in CR). We waive the contract cost of $95 all all rentals of at least 3 years. Monthly rates including utilties are available for short term stays.
Please let us know YOUR needs! (FYI: We have excellent, responsible, tenants who moved out recently and received their entire security bond back having faithfully fulfilled their rental contract conditions)
This is great value for a fully furnished, fully equipped small home in real middle-class Costa Rica!
We are also willing to discuss the possibility of small pets, so please email us about that, too. Please keep in mind there is no garden or outside area to maintain. Thanks!
This is great value for a nice furnished place located so close to a supermarket and other stores, as well as frequent and safe public transport!
The secure garage is great for a vehicle or simply for extra space, for kids playing, storage or whatever. There is no green space to maintain, and overall, the home is very low maintenance.
The extra storage space outside is perfect for bikes, or for semi-outdoor private seating.
This is an excellent location for security in this commercial/residencial zone, and the house has been constructed to be safe, and not draw attention to itself.
The pictures of the house were taken with previous tenants resident and who had added to the basic furnishings we provide. We have tried to mention all basic furnishings and equipment that actually come with the rental by name, but if you have seen something you like, and think we haven't mentioned it in our written description, then please check with us!
Please note that this is not a QUIET out-of-the-way location, and does not have green space or a garden (although you can use potted plants all through the garage to create one). It's a very urban-feel location being so close to transport, shoppping and services. You will regularly hear people talking on the streets or parking on the street outside (this is a BIG PLUS for SECURITY/HOME SAFETY in Costa Rica), and you will often hear some activity from the Chinese restaurant next door, if you are at home a lot.
We really like this little place, and the location is fantastic for the east side, so we want great tenants who we can trust and who will really look after the place. If you are this type of tenant, then please write us soon and let us know about your needs and situation!
We can negotiate the price if you are renting long term and pay well in advance, and discuss what furnishings or even services can be included. Many of our tenants reserve our rentals before they even get to Costa Rica.
