"No." He smiles, a hint. "We've got a better place."
And, in fact, several hours later, they land at the base. It's not exactly impressive; the hangar is a good size, but this isn't any enduring work of design or architecture. It does, however, have resources, and that's the strongest point in its favor.
He ensures that she has a good tour of the functionality, that she's teamed up with scientists, and then - well, then it's off to the races. There are at least sixteen red-flagged incidents around the world that someone has to follow up on, and Coulson's the only one available.
So the next time he's there, it's a few days later. The order he's given to re-fill the pool in the mostly-defunct gymnasium portion of the base has been obeyed, and the chemical balance is cleared for swimming. He arrives back at the base in the evening, one night, and, since he's gotten plenty of rest on the plane, decides to stop by her laboratory, which she should've been able to customize as she wanted. There are a couple scientists around to assist and make sure they know what she's doing - usually Jemma or Skye or Fitz, but not if they're out on a mission. There are cameras, too, just like there are in every part of the base. But only one per room, and not really any other overt surveillance.
He knocks on the glass of the door, and lets himself in.
