Perfect place !

The place is super cute and confortable. Larry is amazing and you will have everything you need, a bike, snorkel equipment and amazing advices from Larry. It is not very central but you can absolutely walk to the city center or use the bike. Loved it there.

Every little things that make your stay amazing. Wifi worked great Larry is very sweet. Speaks great English but was patient enough to speak slowly in Spanish for me to practice. He took time to explain what to say around here and Isabela.

Amazing stay

Had an amazing stay. Larry is the most helpful host imaginable - he helped us book tours, ferry’s, taxis and gave us lots of recommendations. The room is also great, really comfortable bed and nice hot shower. The free water in the room is a great addition. We were also able to check in early after an early ferry and check out a bit late which was great. 10/10 recommend

Really comfortable bed, quiet area and still walkable (or a $2 dollar taxi) to everything you need, cosy hammock to watch TV, free access to Amazon prime, kitchen is really well set up. The apartment has everything you need: free snorkels, extra towels, filtered water, Aircon. The host Larry made our stay, he helped organise several tours and a cruise for us. We shopped around to try to get the best price, and without even negotiating prices he gave us the best offer by a decent margin. I can't say enough good things about our stay.

Awesome! Highly recommended!

The place has everything you need. It has a bathroom with hot water and a small but fully equipped kitchen. It even has a water dispenser and full size fridge. It's close to the attractions and clean. Staff was friendly. The host Larry was incredibly helpful and kind. He helped us a lot with our Galapagos itinerary and was always attentive to our needs. Highly recommended!!!

I'm happy that I chose this place. Comfortable apartments with their own kitchen. It is very convenient, you can cook sometimes. There is a good market, panderia, on the street nearby. The tourist center is 20 min. walk or 3 min. by taxi. But the most important thing is the incredibly hospitable host - Larry. He helped with absolutely all questions! Special thanks for organizing excursions. Not only on Santa Cruz Island, but also on other islands (Isabela&S.Cristobal). Everything went perfectly and at a very good price. Larry, thank you very much! You helped fulfill my dream - to see the Galapagos!

We loved our stay here! It was one of the cleanest places weve stayed and it has everything you need. Larry was literally the most helpful host we have ever had in our travels. We couldn’t be more grateful for all his tips and support. And if you need tours he can help as well. We most definitely would stay here again.

Fantastic place in Puerto Agora Galápagos

We are a couple who stayed 6 nights at El Encanto de Mimi, and enjoyed every moment!! The room was clean, comfortable, had air conditioning, WiFi, small kitchen to cook, clean towels, Margarita did our laundry quickly and for a reasonable price, and they even gave us a big 20 liter gallon of drinking water. Naturally, we spent most of the time on tours, outside, but this place was a fantastic place to come back to at night. We would highly recommend this place to a couple or a single person coming to Galapagos. Hopefully we can be back one day :)

This cute studio is very well equipped and very clean. You have all the cooking utensils that you would wish for and we found the interior to be decorated in a very tasteful but practical manner. Out host (Larry) was very friendly and spoke perfect English. He helped us with everything, including tips on where to snorkel/eat/etc. There was snorkel set in the room to use and some fruit which we loved. Also there is drinking water. The room was cleaned and the towels were changed regularly (I loved the fluffy towels that smelled good). The location is 10-15 min walking from the center but with taxis at 1,5$ in town this is no problem, even if you are not good on foot. We highly recommend this place!
