Ideal y linda casita en San Cristóbal-Galápagos

Carlos was a very friendly and helpful host. He picked us up at the ferry, gave us information about the island and the house, and answered our questions. We also appreciated being able to check out later on the day of departure. The house is as shown in the photos. The neighborhood is nice and the neighbors were very friendly. The kitchen also has a very good stove, which is great for longer stays if you want to cook for yourself.

The kitchen equipment needs attention. The pans are very old and greasy, several cups and dishes were chipped, some containers were broken, and some tableware was not clean. For longer stays this makes cooking less pleasant. A small investment in new pans, proper tableware, and a clean dish sponge would make a big difference. There is a system for separating waste, which is good, but the bin for organic waste did not have a lid. As there are ants and some cockroaches around, a lid would be very helpful. Due to the cleanliness and condition of the kitchen equipment, the price–quality ratio did not feel balanced.

Très bon rapport qualité / prix pour cette petite casita sur l'île de San Cristobal. Nos hôtes, Belen et Carlos nous ont très bien accueillis que ce soit en amont de notre arrivée que sur place. Nous avons reçu des conseils et beaucoup d'informations pour nous aider à profiter un maximum de notre séjour. La casita était très mignonne et bien équipée. L'espace extérieur était agréable. L'emplacement était bien, un peu à l'extérieur du centre ville mais accessible en quelques minutes. Proche des plages.

Si on devait donner quelques éléments à améliorer ce serait le système de la douche qui en soit n'est pas dérangeant dans son utilisation mais plutôt dans son bruit. Dès l'utilisation et également même pas en utilisation, le moteur de la douche était très bruyant. Egalement la casita est située à côté d'une école et d'une école de danse donc beaucoup de bruit à l'extérieur mais ceci n'est pas du ressort des hôtes.

The location so close to Playa Mann AND the malecon was wonderful. The kitchen had everything we needed and the yard had a lovely patio and some clothes lines to hang our swimsuits and towels. Across the street was a dance studio which meant we could hear local music and kids playing soccer drifting through with the island breezes, which we loved. The colors and yard feel so tropical and the neighbors were friendly, felt very safe. TV in the master bedroom allowed us to cast our Netflix which was nice, and had AC in that room. Hosts were VERY responsive and they sent a very helpful gentleman to pick us up and orient us to the house.

We loved everything about it- the only change I would make is to have more pillows (only one per person was available but that’s just our personal preference to have more and the beds were still comfortable). Also I would warn that young children or older people might have difficulty with the stairs/ladder to the loft bedroom with two twin beds and a balcony- it’s a lovely room, but the climb felt a little precarious, especially at night. Also- the place was pristine when we checked in, but I noticed if my kids dropped even a crumb, there would be ants very soon so be careful for that (they do kindly provide bug spray and cleaning supplies).

Cosy and comfortable .
