The Finch House (La Casa del Pinzón) is your best bet in Puerto Ayora if you are travelling like us with small kids and needing space and amenities for cooking. Perfectly located a couple of blocks from the port and main attractions, we enjoyed the calm and green of this place. Our hosts were particularly attentive to our (many!) needs. We had an excellent stay here and would stay again!

“I had a wonderful time, everything was clean, I slept well in the good bed and got a very nice welcome from Mercedes - m”
Mercedes is a very very nice host and very attentive. For my stay I felt a bit at home, I liked the beautiful place a lot, also because not being in the center of Puerto Ayora. The patio is great for reading outside even when raining.

“Bright comfortable 2 bedroom apartment”
Very bright, well stocked little two bedroom apartment. Very comfortable. It's a few blocks from the main tourist strip, so it's very quiet. People in the neighborhood are very friendly. The host has put attention to detail. Nice gated flowered area as you enter. The air conditioner in the living room was sufficient to cool the bedrooms for sleeping. It's very safe.
