Had a great stay at Dpto Independiente in Puerto Ayora. The host is very friendly, responsive and helpful with check-in instructions and great local recommendations. Apartment was perfect! It was clean, came with a well equipped kitchen and located in a quieter, more rural part of town. About a 10min walk from the Main Street, but the walk is easy and safe. The apartment came with two AC units (one in the main room and another in the bedroom) and also a laundry machine which was a huge plus. Highly recommend staying here

Nothing

Quiet residential area. Feels safe. There's a convenience store just around the corner. Host was friendly, responsive and reliable. Keyless entry system was great as I didn't have to fumble around for keys. Comfortable flat, spacious and minimal/neutral decor. Feels like a home away from home. Garden access from flat (I smoke). Bed and pillows were firm. Living room Aircon was brilliant and cools quickly. Clothes rack available to dry swimming stuff. Walking distance to main areas and attractions. Option of various lighting choices and much more. This is a place I would recommend and will certainly look out for if I am in Santa Cruz again.

Water leak from plumbing but it was resolved quickly. Also had problem with washing machine not draining. These were minor hiccups which didn't affect my overall stay.

Todo el departamento nos gustó, su ubicación, la tranquilidad, privacidad, seguridad, limpieza, cuenta con todos los artículos para cocinar, planchar, su secadora de cabello, lo máximo su lavadora y secadora. Muchas gracias al anfitrión Jhonn excelente con su hospitalidad y recomendaciones.

Todo me gustó

Good location - short walk from town. Responsive host and good kitchen. Comfortable bed. Strong WiFi.

Although the property appeared very new - it felt old and not as clean as photos would suggest. There was quite a strong unpleasant smell in the bathroom and on the towels provided. Would have also liked laundry detergent for the washing machine.
