Dates and cancellation
Booking Pizote Apartment is a direct conversation, not a marketplace checkout: you send your dates, we check the calendar for those exact nights and confirm your stay at the rate shown above.
- Stays that cross a season change are priced night by night, so you only pay the high-season rate for the high-season nights.
- Any minimum-night requirement or cancellation term for your dates is stated in writing in our reply, before you pay anything.
- Requests are accepted up to 24 hours before check-in: same-day bookings cannot be processed.
- Free cancellation up to 48 hours (2 days) before check-in. After that window the stay is no longer refundable.
- Check-in is at 2:00 p.m. and check-out at 10:00 a.m.
- Nothing is charged when you submit the form: it is an availability request, and your dates are only held once you confirm the quote.
- Staying here with a tour? Tell us in the same message and we coordinate pick-up times with your stay.
Why travellers choose to stay with us
“Oscar is a great host and amazing tour guide, he knows and understands the flora and fauna of CR. THE VALUE AND LOCATION ARE EXCELLENT. THE ROOMS ARE GREAT”
“We stayed in Oscar's AirBnb for two nights. Good stay with a hummingbird on the porch every day. The best thing was that Oscar helped us when we got a flat tire with our rental car. Recommended!”
“Such a great place - peaceful, comfortable, super clean, and the best equipped kitchen we've had through our entire trip. Would highly recommend this place. The balcony is such a lovely bonus too, even on rainy days”
“Our apartment was beautiful and very comfortable. We had everything we needed, and the host was extremely helpful at getting us information. The bed was very comfortable! All within walking distance of town. Highly recommend!”
