Second floor — less elevator
Living on the second floor changes your daily rhythm. You walk down to grab coffee or groceries without waiting for the elevator. It's a small thing that compounds over a year.

Why this apartment
Four details that make a difference

AC where it actually counts
Air conditioning in both the living room and the main bedroom. San José swings between hot afternoons and cool nights — having real control where you spend the most time matters.
Appliances optional
Washer-dryer and refrigerator available if you want them included. If you already own appliances, that's fine too — we'll adjust the rent accordingly. No commitment to furniture you don't need.

Barrio Escalante
The walkable, food-and-coffee corner of San José
The most talked-about neighborhood in the city — gastronomy, cafés, and life on foot.
Barrio Escalante isn't a drive-through neighborhood; it's one you live on foot. Calle 33 holds a tight cluster of cooks, baristas and wine shops that moved in over the last decade and turned the block into San José's most active food strip. The mix is unusual: a quiet residential grid with real urban offerings — bakeries open early, restaurants run late, and there are parks, bookstores, a century-old church and a school in between.
The location works because it connects: 10 minutes to downtown San José, close to UCR and UNED, and with quick access to the east-side highways. Living here means most days you don't need a car.
