  • James Ramirez & Linda Brown’s Costa Rica Getaway — San José Trip Report

    We’re James Ramirez & Linda Brown—59 and 61—and we carved out a week for San José, Costa Rica. We stayed at a Modern Airbnb Apartment in San José close to cafés, parks, and plazas—quiet when we needed it and central when we wanted to explore. Stepping outside felt like changing rhythms—soft, bright mornings; warm, breezy afternoons; and evenings where the city lights stitched together a friendly skyline.

    My first stop was the Central Market, a perfect entry into the city’s heartbeat—neighbors greeting each other, fresh coffee in the air, and bright fruit stands. I set aside time for the Museo del Jade in San Jose, which layered history and context onto the streets I was walking. By sunset I reached Pre-Columbian Gold Museum in San Jose, where the energy was relaxed but lively, and the food scene rewarded wandering.

    Afternoons were my favorite. I wandered Avenida Central and the plazas around it, watched a street performer, and ducked into a café when quick showers rolled through. Escazú and Santa Ana gave the day a different rhythm—sleek malls, leafy streets, and restaurants perfect for unhurried dinners. Getting around was easy: taxis and Ubers were simple to hail, buses were straightforward, and the whole city felt sensible to navigate. I kept small notes so I wouldn’t forget the details—golden light on historic façades, cinnamon warmth in café con leche, and quiet parks waking up in the morning.

    When the sun went down, San José sprang to life. I tried a downtown dance club, laughed through a few low‑stakes casino games, and felt the city’s friendliness everywhere—bartenders, taxi drivers, and people in late‑night lines. The nightlife felt welcoming instead of intimidating, and I kept noticing how safe the city felt as I moved between venues—well‑lit streets, helpful drivers, and clear routes back. Everyone I met was kind, the sort of warmth that makes you feel invited.

    By the end of the week, I was walking slower, looking up more, and collecting moments I didn’t want to lose. San José offered exactly the balance I needed: culture without complication, social without overwhelm, and grounded in everyday kindness. I’m already planning a return to explore more corners of Costa Rica’s capital and the nearby neighborhoods of Escazú and Santa Ana.
