Our house! - How we found it.

Here is a photo of the inside of our house. We have a 3 BR, 2 Bath house in a residential neighborhood of San Jose (the capital city). Its pretty comfy, but the kitchen & 3rd bedroom are small. One of the things we like the most about the house is how close it is to the school and many of our friends/fellow students. There's a great community of fellow christians/missionaries within 5-10 blocks of our house!


When we applied to the language school, there was an option to be assigned to a big brother, whose primary job was to find us a house. The big brother also answers the hundreds of questions you have when you are moving to another country! We of course, signed up for this option, and our big brother and sister recommended their house, since they would be finished with their year at language school before we arrived. They sent us photos and we said we liked it, but would like to see other possibilities. Well it turned out that there were not a lot of houses available since we were the largest class of new students that ILE has had in a long time (I think 90+ adults). So, in the end we didn't try to find any other options and we selected their house. As it turned out, we were very happy that our house came with neighbors who were also language school students. They were incredibly helpful when we arrived, which was great because our big siblings were no longer in Costa Rica.
