Arrival & departure

You will receive your check-in instructions by email four to seven days before you arrive. They include the door code and your House Manager's contact details.
Yes. You let yourself in with the door code from your check-in email, so there is no front desk to reach and no fixed arrival window to hit. Your House Manager is reachable if you need anything.

From Baltra you take the short airport bus to the Itabaca Canal, cross by ferry, then continue to Puerto Ayora by bus or taxi — around 45 to 60 minutes in total. There is a step-by-step guide with current options on our blog.
In the apartment
8Every apartment has a full kitchen and its own washer and dryer. We provide laundry detergent at the start of your stay, and the kitchen is equipped for cooking rather than reheating.
Yes. Each apartment has high-speed WiFi and a dedicated workspace — a lot of our guests are remote workers or researchers staying for weeks at a time. The network name and password are in your welcome guide.
Each apartment has a dedicated work space rather than a table you have to clear first. Paired with the WiFi, it is what makes a month here workable rather than just tolerable.
Yes. Fresh towels and bed linens are provided, and the apartment is professionally cleaned before every stay.
Yes. The apartments have air conditioning and ceiling fans. The fans reverse — forward for cooling on warm days, reverse to circulate warm air on cooler evenings.
Yes. A professional cleaning costs $27 and takes about two and a half hours. Message us at least 24 hours ahead and we will schedule it for a morning. Payable by card or cash.

House rules & getting around
3All three apartments are non-smoking, and we are not currently set up to host pets.
There is a designated area on the ground floor of the building for bikes. Always lock yours, and keep the main entrance and the stairwell clear. Rentals are easy to find in town — a bike is the simplest way to reach Tortuga Bay, El Garrapatero and the highlands.
Yes. Support is available 24/7, and your House Manager's contact details come with your check-in instructions.
