“Casa Escalante impressed me with its surprisingly quiet location in the Escalante neighborhood, plus the well-equipped kitchen and the rare find of big, comfy beds in a hostel setting. The fact that the family who runs it lives there too creates a homestay vibe, making it an easy recommendation in San Jose.”
