Gorgeous Quito Penthouse, Best Location,Terrace, Wifi, Views!
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Quito
Although we love to travel to different parts of the world, Quito has always been one of our favorite spots to visit as we consider it to be extremely unique, relaxing and beautiful. We also like to go there often to visit family which was another reason for us to buy a vacation home. Quito's year-round mild weather, rich colonial history and dramatic mountain setting makes it a desirable place for us to visit. Our penthouse rental is cozy, safe and has breathtaking views of the Pichincha volcano and the city. In addition to this, its location is central to everything a tourist might want or need.

Perfect Penthouse and the owner Sergio is wonderful!

Review Submitted: 01/04/12
My wife, three daughters (8,10, and 12), and I stayed at Sergio's penthouse for three nights during the week of Thanksgiving. The Penthouse was perfect! It has a great view of Quito and the mountains - especially from the large terrace. It is very convenient to almost everything and cabs are easy to catch and very inexpensive to most areas of the city - we never paid more than $6.00. Carmen, Sergio's caretaker for the Penthouse is wonderful and took great care of us while we were there. Our flight did not arrive until midnight, and she was waiting for us when we got to the Condo building at 1:00AM to let us in and answer any questions. The best part of staying here was Sergio's incredible willingness to help us prior to arriving. After speaking with him about our travel plans while in Ecuador, he suggested that we hire a driver that he knew to drive us around the country as opposed to renting a car. I have rented cars in many central and south american countries on other vacations, but I decided to take his advice. Not only was it a great experience, but was far easier and actually less expensive than renting a car. I would HIGHLY recommend having Sergio help arrange this for you if you decide to stay at his place. No matter what questions I had or information I needed, Sergio always got back to me very quickly with the information. I should mention that we only planned on staying in his Penthouse for three nights and he still went out of his way to help us. When traveling in a foreign country, especially with children, I have found that a condo or house is comforting to everyone as opposed to a hotel. The extra space, kitchen, laundry, etc. makes all of us feel grounded and like we are at home. Sergio's place was perfect for us and I would recommend it to anyone - especially families.
Owner response:Thank you Benning for your kind words. It was my pleasure having you and your family as my guests. It is wonderful to know you had a great time in Ecuador and enjoyed your stay in my penthouse. Please come back any time, your home away from home will be waiting for you.

The apartment was spacious, pleasant, and exuded a nice feeling. It suited the 4 of us (a married couple with their 2 adult children) perfectly. There was a tv set in each individual room (although we did not come to Quito to primarily watch tv), and bathrooms plenty to ensure everybody was individually catered for. We had stunning views of the city and mountains from the living room (view to the south - Old town and El Panecillo hill in the distance), dining room (view to the west - Modern Quito and Teleferico in the distance), kitchen (with views same as dining room), laundry room (with views same as dining room plus more of northern Quito), and huge balcony (with views of south, west, and partial views of east and north). The big kitchen where we spent a good amount of time as a family was stunning, and was one of our favorite areas. We were agreeably surprised to find that the owner paid attention to little details discussed via email to further make us enjoy our visit to Quito, things like providing umbrellas and hats to protect us against the quite particular weather of Quito, bottled water in case we did not want to drink from the tap, and maps and reading material to start us on our discovery of Quito.
Owner response:Dear Herve and Lily, It was my pleasure having you and your daughters Karen and Natasha as my guests, and I'm very pleased you enjoyed the comfort and amenities of this spacious home. Thank you for your review, it encourages me to keep up the good work and to provide my guests with the best kind of accommodation there is. Nothing better than a home away from home. Please come back anytime.

This was an absolutely great penthouse. couldn't ask for a better place. Place was super clean and super cool. Everything was pretty much there for us. Loved the deco, the view from the balcony. super comfy! There were even books for us to read about Ecuador and there's even a tour company right next to the building. Plaza forge is 5 minutes away on a cab, while Burger King, Crepes and Waffles and other restaurants are just walk away. Overall great great stay, will be back!

This penthouse is the perfect place to stay in Quito. It is spacious, fully equipped, and has beautiful mountain and city views day/night. We received a very warm and gracious welcome from Carmen and her daughter, Maria, upon our arrival at midnight! The property is well maintained and the customer service is first rate. We even were able to have birthday dinner prepared in our kitchen for my husband by our wonderful greeters. The restaurant across the street is lively and the food and service very good. A live in experience in the penthouse is very enjoyable and rewarding. Dick, Anne, David Olson

A group of us couldn't ask for a better place than this. It was simply amazing! The place was kept so clean and everything we wanted was in the penthouse. At one point, we didn't even felt like going on the tour. Just wanted to lay back and do nothing! the view was great. there were books on tours, and there's even a tour agency right next to the penthouse. Very close to JW Marriott, Burger King, Crepes and Waffles (highly recommend). 2 dollars taxi to Plaza forge which was great for partying or even drinks. In short, great great penthouse. would definitely come back rather than a hotel. :)

This penthouse was a pleasure to stay in, very well looked after and very nice furniture. The views over the city are interesting and it is in a great position for getting around Quito. Carmen is fantastic, she was there to meet us although it was late when we arrived. She and her daughter Maria came every morning to make us breakfast and believe me this is something you should not miss. The only reason we will not return to this penthouse is that my wife struggled with the altitude, other wise we would book again for next year. We recommend this penthouse without reservation and Sergio is a very helpful gentalman. Kind regards, J H Bragg
