I live alone in a typical Costa Rican house in Copan in San Ramon de Alajuela. San Ramon has all the benefits of a large city but with a small town feeling: everyone knows everyone. There is plenty to do on the weekends: going for short hikes, swimming at the community pool, going out to clubs, or heading to the mall to see a movie. There is also plenty to do in the house with neighbors and family visiting quite often! I have been hosting volunteers and students from all over the world for over six years now and have enjoyed meeting people from many different cultures. The house has a lovely front patio which connects to the more private homestay room, with a private bathroom. Through the front door, you enter into a living room and dining area with another bedroom off one way and a kitchen off the other. Although I recommend taking taxis after nightfall, the neighborhood is very safe and none of my guests have ever been robbed while walking around in the area. I do not speak much English (a former homestay occupant is translating this), but have become very skilled in communicating through charades!

No drugs or excessive drinking. Keep noise to a minimum after ten. Lock the doors when leaving. Ask permission before inviting guests. Please respect my house as you would your own!
