Our family stayed here during our July trip to visit family in the area. With 5 bedrooms this beautiful home had more than enough room to accommodate us all. Like another reviewer said, the pictures online (as awesome as they looked) did not do justice to this amazing home! The house is located in a private gated community. Some of the things located in the community included convenience stores, a pharmacy, restaurants (N Burger was one of our favorite places), a bakery, & a park. All of these places were within a 5 minute walk from the house. The home itself is spacious with a large kitchen, dining area, family & living room. There are plenty of comfortable couches, chairs, stools, & hammocks everywhere so there’s always a place to sit or lounge in. The bedrooms (and everywhere in the house) are beautifully decorated. Ecuador is very hot & humid so the air conditioner units in each bedroom were great to have. They cooled the rooms down quickly & provided a nice reprieve from the heat! One of the best parts of this house is the AMAZING pool in the backyard! It was so nice to be able to come back to our home base in Ecuador & take a dip in the relaxing pool. Since it was so hot there the pool water was always perfect, no matter what time of day. Finally, the owner, Amada, was wonderful to work with. She is one of the nicest & most genuine people you will ever meet. She called us daily to check in on us to see if we needed anything – whether it be help with arranging for taxis to go somewhere, amenities needed for the house, or if we wanted Sonja (her cook/housekeeper extraordinaire) to prepare any meals for us. You can tell that a lot of thought & care went into every aspect of the house & making sure it was perfect for us. Amada loved her home & wanted to make sure we loved it as well. As a matter of fact, if you ask Amada about anything in the home (whether it be the history behind the house or where she got her salt & pepper shakers that were in the form of cute little chickens!) she will tell you about it – it almost always has a personal story behind it. That’s what made our stay even more special, the personal touch behind everything. I could go on and on about the wonderful things about Amada & this amazing home but you really just need to book a stay and find out for yourself! I would HIGHLY recommend it! Thanks Amada for EVERYTHING! Hopefully we'll be able to come back soon & when we do we know where we're staying! =)
