Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
Costa Rica is the most straightforward country in Central America for a long stay, with a digital nomad visa, good healthcare and stable infrastructure. San Jose is where the flights, the hospitals and the practical services are, even though most visitors rush through it to the coasts.
At 420 dollars a month for a private room, this is very cheap for Costa Rica, where beach towns can cost several times that. Basing yourself in the capital and travelling out is a legitimate strategy, and the in-house tour operation makes it easy.
San Jose is not scenic, and that is the honest trade. What it offers is affordability and a base from which the whole country is reachable in a few hours.
