Amazing house to enjoy in San Cristobal
Pros:

The property is huge, clean and with all the utilities and amenities needed. The entire apartment is for yourself. Betsy, the owner is really nice and helpful. She took care of us during our stay booking our taxis, renting the gear for snorkeling. She is amazing! Gracias Betsy.

Pros:

Très grand appartement avec 10 couchages confortables.

Cons:

Un peu loin du port et des activités : 15 minutes de marche en côte pour arriver en limite de ville. L'appartement est un peu sombre a cause des arbres qui arrêtent la lumière au rez-de-chaussée.

Sehr gut für Familien
Pros:

Unterkunft sehr geräumig mit drei Schlafzimmern, zwei Bädern, Wohnbereich und offener Küche. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und alles erscheint neuwertig. Kleiner Waldinnenhof mit Schaukeln vorhanden. Typische ecuadorianische Architektur. Insgesamt eine schöne Wohnung für eine Familienreise.

Die Lage auf der Karte am Rand des Ortes täuscht etwas, es erscheint weiter, als es ist. Zentrum in ca. 15 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen, ansonsten eines der Inseltaxis für 2-3 USD. Nachts sehr sichere Gegend (wie die ganze Insel).

Gastgeberin hilfsbereit und nett. Da private Gastgeberin, teilt man ihr am besten die ungefähre Ankunftszeit mit einigem Vorlauf über Whatsapp mit.

Spacious apartment with WiFi.
Pros:

Each of the rooms were spacious and the two double bedrooms had their own en-suite. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating utensils and we were provided with courtesy transfers. There was good communication with the owner.

Cons:

The outside space was useful for drying clothes but not suitable for sitting and relaxing. There was a lot of noise from renovation work in accompanying properties and the property was about 20 minutes walk from town, although taxis were very cheap.

A real recommandation ! Great place, amazing owner!
Pros:

The apartment has everything you need, Mauricio the owner is super helpful and you can always reach out to him for any question about the apartment but also about the Island and everything you need to know about Galapagos (tours, taxis…). We recommend also his tour agency, we did the 360 tour and it was amazing.

Cons:

Everything was perfect
