Great little apartment!

Being a bit outside of the main strip gave us a whole different experience of Santa Cruz than just the tourist spots, which was really lovely. The apartment slept 7 of us comfortably and had everything we needed. We arranged airport transfer through Pilar and Joseph and it was such a huge help to have them meet us at the airport! Highly recommended.

El apartamento perfecto, el trato de la dueña conmigo fenomenal, cerca de todo. Lo único es que el internet del apartamento no funcionó, pero en todo Puerto Ayora era malo el internet
