    Great Find!

    Loved our stay here. The property is managed and serviced by, I think, a management company. They were very responsive and the caretaker (Mayra) was extremely helpful and kind. 5-10 min walking distance from everything. Loved that they had filtered water tap (which we didn't find at other locations we stayed at), great AC and amenities. The slight downside was that living area was very small with 2 comfy chairs + a small dining table with a couple of chairs - it was not a good room to 'hang-out' in. Still, overall we loved it and we would absolutely stay here again.

    Perfect!

    The location is just a quick walk to the towns hub where you find the pier and the main grocery store. Restaurants and rentals can be found there as well. It is far enough though that you have quiet nights. It is truly a perfect location. The A/C is great and the patio is a perfect place to relax. They have a water filtration system which is very helpful. You are greeted when you get there and shown the apartment. You can tell they take great care making sure it is very clean and well organized for your stay. They have a information and activities book that is well detailed and helpful probably best one I ever came across actually. Another added bonus the washer is also a dryer which is very helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

    Excellent stay

    Super clean and comfortable. Having AC and a kitchen was a must bc I have MS and my daughter and I have celiac disease. Within walking distance to everything in town. Nicolai and his wife were amazing with giving suggestions on what activities to do. They set up our taxi service from and to the ferry and once they found out I had MS they were beyond kind to allow us a late check-out so I wouldn't have to be on the heat longer than necessary. About the place-- fully equipped kitchen with a top cooker. They have a filtration system for drinking water which saves us from having to go out and getting bottled water. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of space in both bedrooms. The place was very clean and well maintained. The balcony/ covered deck was a wonderful place to sit early in the morning. Highly recommend this property!!!

    I really loved staying here for the week and began to love the neighborhood, the house itself felt so nice and homey! Loved that I could walk everywhere. Tortuga Bay - so so amazing. I wish I would have spent every day there. Each time I walked the trail was a spiritual experience.

    This place deserves more than 5 stars! Quiet location close to Tortuga and just a 10-minute walk to Darwin Street. We were welcomed with cool towels and mint tea, and every detail was perfect. Super comfortable beds with crisp cotton sheets, fluffy towels, fresh filtered rainwater, and spotless furnishings. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, even doing our laundry (due to a malfunctioning machine) and providing a super useful island guide. The lockbox made things easy too. They truly went above and beyond, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

    This apartment was by far our favorite place to stay in the Galapagos Islands while we were doing our land based three islands (San Cristabol, Santa Cruz and Isabela) tour. The apartment was very modern and spacious and had very many amenities (such as kitchen and washing machine) that we appreciated. We enjoyed hanging out in the patio in the mornings before we started our daily-sightseeing activities.
