Will to be in San Jose for just 2 days in early Dec. Would like to see as much as I can of the city. Any recommendations on where to stay and "must see" while there. Will be renting a car.

We just rented a room at the Gran Hotel, directly across from the National Theater and you could walk to so much. Got a great rate. . .It's a historic old hotel http://www.grandhotelcostarica.com/

Loved Gran Hotel Costa Rica. Stayed there twice and was quite enjoyable and right in the Center of the city...
A friend and I plan a trip to CR in late Jan. Probably stay near San Jose. Need a reasonably and safe place to stay, cell phones and transportation. Ideas and suggestions welcomed!!

I'd try http://www.granhotelcostarica.com/ walk anywhere in this location. You can buy a couple basic Samsung or Nokia phone for $20 to $30 at any of the thousands of cell phone shops in CR, you buy the sim chip for the phone at the same time. Usually they ask for your passport. Depending on your budget, there are buses that go anywhere or taxis. A lot depends on what you hope to do while you are here.
