"The building is brand new and really nice. The apartment is very spacious and has a nice kitchen, but there’s no stove. It would be great to have at least one burner so you can cook a simple meal. The location is perfect—just a 2-minute walk to the beach and about 5 minutes from downtown Tamarindo."
