Great Quito Condo

Our Quito Condo hosted by Alicia was perfect. It was just like the description. It had all the things we needed and very comfortable. Alicia set us up with Senor Gomez for our airport transport. Shortly after our arrival, Alicia stopped by to review everything, answer any questions, and give us contact info. The area was perfect. Easy safe walking distance to the supermarket, restaurants, coffee shops, and more. There is lots of taxis across the street at the Swissotel. We highly recommend Alicia's condo. Thank you Alicia for a great time in Quito.

Perfect Quito Apartment

Loved this little apartment while visiting Quito for a few days. Our little family of 3 felt right at home. Everything was perfect. Easy parking, easy check in (even with a very late arrival), the owner was quick to communicate, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. Highly recommend when staying in Quito. Lots of restaurants nearby. Close to everything including a super market within walking distance. Thanks for a wonderful start to our trip to Ecuador!

Apartment has everything you need. The owner has thought of every little detail to make your stay enjoyable. Alicia is a very nice lady and will help you make plans for your stay in Quito. If not for her, my stay would not have been as excellent. In another review, she was called a gem and that reviewer was not exaggerating. Thanks Alicia!

Fantastic views. Great part of Quito!

This is a well equipped apartment in a great part of town. You have plenty of space for two people. I stayed here with my son for nearly a week. It was perfect. We were surrounded by restaurants and close to many desirable sites. And the views every day were breathtaking! You can even go up to the terrace a few floors above and see views from the rooftop! The owner is beyond helpful with information about sightseeing. She gave us a contact for a lovely taxi driver named Diana Gomez who I also recommend. This was a fantastic rental and Quito and the surrounding areas made for a wonderfully epic vacation!!

Definitely, I'm coming back! Best place to stay in Quito!

The place feels like home. It has everything you need and it's clean and beautiful! You can find everything on waking distance and it's safe! My first night on the department, I felt the earthquake early in the morning. Even thought it's on the 11th floor, the experience wasn't that scary. It's a safe building The owner of the place is a very sweet and thoughtful lady who helped me finding everything I needed. I totally recommend this place!!! Thank you Mrs. Pabón for the 5 start experience!

La Floresta Gem

Alicia's place is fantastic! We stayed for almost 2 weeks and found the apartment to be in a great location. We were very comfortable- the apartment was clean and well stocked with everything you might need in the kitchen, and has a nice view of the city to the north and to the west. Alicia was available and very helpful, suggesting we take a walking tour (that was fantastic) and helping us with all our questions.The neighborhood of La Floresta is a good spot for getting around the city to all the museums and sites. It is dynamic with wonderful variety of restaurants. There are taxi's, banks, supermarket and even a farmer's Organic market within a few blocks. We had a wonderful time in Quito staying at La Paz!.

Nice apartment, close to everything with a great host!

We spent 2 weeks at this apartment and found it to be a functional place that is convenient to get to everywhere. It is across the street from the Swiss hotel and has easy access to taxis to go anywhere in the city. There are many top notch restaurants very close by as well as the local Supermaxi which is the local supermarket. It is located in the upscale La Floresta neighborhood for which there is a very informative walking tour which I higly recommend. The only negative which did not bother us is that you hear the road noise from the street. Alicia your host was a great resource for things to do and was always volunteering to assist in any way she could. My luggage did not arrive as scheduled and she made several calls on my behalf to retrieve it as my Spanish is not very good. She also arranged taxi drivers to take us to tour pick up locations as well as back to the airport.

Excellent apartment in Quito

Very desirable location in a beautiful neighborhood filled with restaurants and shops, this fully equipped apartment offers beautiful views of Quito, in a safe environment with 24-hour security, and easy access to transportation, bus lines, or taxis. Within walking distance of a major supermarket and other conveniences like yoga studios, drugstores, beauty shops, etc, we found this location to be very secure and comfortable. During our stay, I enrolled in Spanish Classes at Simon Bolivar school which is four blocks away, and was very pleased with quality programs and skilled instructors at the school, which is linked with many cultural opportunities like day trips to nearby attractions. Alicia, the english-speaking apartment owner, was a pleasure to work with, and provided for every need during our visit, including suggestions for tourist sites and other important local information. Overall, this apartment is a great value, and is a perfect operating base from the standpoint of location, comfort, safety, and enjoyment of a Quito visit. regards, Douglas and Nena North Carolina, USA

Home away from home in Quito

This is my 3rd visit to this apartment. It truly is "home away from home" It is secure, has great views, close to restaurants, grocery, parks, and I could continue on and on. I visited specifically for the Guapulo Festival which was delightful. I walked there and returned via taxi. It was such a special local event. This apartment is a great place to stay while you get to know Quito!
