Beautiful Fully Furnished Apartment in Quito

Our family of four recently spent two weeks in this beautiful apartment. The apartment is super clean and well maintained. Diana and her parents (who live in the building) took very good care of us. The apt is quiet and the neighbourhood is also safe and quiet. For a longer stay in Quito this apartment has all the comforts of home.

My wife and I were met at the airport in Quito by Marco (the owner's Dad) and taken to the condo. We were spending a couple of days there before flying to Tonsupa to spend the whole month of October in the owner's condo on the beach.

The Quito condo was beautiful!! We were treated like "family" from the very first meeting with Marco, Flor , and Diana. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this condo as well as the condo in Tonsupa.

We are already making plans to go back and spend the month of Feburary in the Tonsupa condo.

This was the VERY BEST vacation we have ever had!!

My husband, our 24 yr. old daughter and I came to Quito for 4 nights and 5 days in order for our daughter to look for a teaching job. Prior to our visit, Diana was very helpful in securing her an interview at a near by school. She and her brother were also kind in picking us up late at night at the Quito airport and driving us to our apartment, which is next door to their apartment.

The apartment is quite large and roomy, as well as very clean! It is also secure with several locked gates and doors. The view of the golf course from the apartment is wonderful, especially with the sunsets! While we were there, both Diana and her father, Marco, were so kind to drive us to various places. We felt so appreciative to have this service available for a reasonable fee. We had a fabulous day in the town of Otavalo and surrounding towns with Marco! He is the best tour guide and it was the highlight of our trip!

There are a few things we were recommend for you to consider when visiting and staying at this apartment, which we wished we had known before arriving. The apartment is not supplied with any extra consumables such as toilet paper or paper towels. Also, since you will arrive late at night, you won't have time to shop for breakfast items, so we'd recommend to bring some coffee, granola bars, dried fruit and some water bottles (since the water in the tap is not safe to drink). for the morning. There are not staples in the kitchen. However, there is a small store which carries some food supplies near by, though.

We enjoyed two particular restaurants where we ate out, which Diana recommended: The Magic Bean, and the Crepes and Waffles place at the mall. Both places serve safe and yummy food!

We wish we had been able to stay longer so we could have visited Mindo, the rainforest, and other sights outside of Quito. But, we enjoyed staying at this pleasant apartment and would stay there again!

Thank you Flores family!!!

My wife suffered very badly from altitude sickness for 5 days and Diane was most helpful in driving us around in a fruitless quest to find the only drug that is successful in treating this, , Diamox.

All our inquiries at many Pharmacies were unsuccessful but not for want of trying, we finally used the Canadian Embassy for help and managed to locate the only pharmacy which had any stock left. Note: Let this be a warning, bring with you in case you encounter the same problem.

Apartment was huge, clean and had great views of the mountains, not close to Historical District, but once you get the hang of the Metrobus and Trolebus system it was easy to reach (albeit with packed interiors) cheap, Seniors 12 cents, regular 25 cents.

Grocery store nearby, airport about 15 minutes, short walk to buses.

Well furnished, garden to walk in, enjoyed our stay

Few negatives, shower could do with some maintenance (small leak, loose or missing tiles, and the frying pans could badly do with replacing.

One caveat if using the buses study Google for information, the three main routes through the city are well covered, but the feeder routes have little information.

We rented this apartment for a week as a base for some sightseeing in Quito and to wind down from a week on a boat in the Galapagos. Diana has a FL telephone number and speaks perfect English so it is easy to contact her and discuss your visit with her. She always replies to e-mails promptly.

She and her father picked us up at our hotel downtown at the appointed time and took us to the apartment pointing out a local store for groceries and telling us how to get to the big mall "down the hill" (we walked down and took a cab back). We spent eight hours with her one day visiting the Old Town and going up the teleferiQo. She also took us to one of her family's favorite restaurants where we had a very nice, relaxed meal. She arranged a cab for us to visit La Mitad del Mundo on the equator and drove us to the airport early on the morning of our departure.

The apartment was clean and very spacious for just the two of us; it would be perfect for two or three couples or families. The laundry was a plus as was the good wi-fi and tv (we watched the Super Bowl there!).
