Outstanding. My wife, my two daughters (5&2) and I stayed for a month at this wonderful home in San Pablo this winter. After a tiring flight to Ecuador and a crowded taxi ride, I can't express the relief we felt when Thomas gave us the welcoming tour of the home. My wife looked at me and said "this is much nicer than the pictures on the web!" She was right. It is hard to get an accurate picture of what this place looks like until you are actually there, but you will not be disappointed. Just lovely. We felt completely safe the entire time there. Inside the walls of the property, our children freely played in the gardens and walkways. They loved riding bikes and playing with Thomas and Christina's three sons. San Pablo is just a short, safe walk away, where there is a vegetable market and numerous small stores that carried almost everything we needed for food for our trip. We did not have a car, and we relied solely on buses and taxis to travel the surrounding area. The bus goes directly by the gate of the property, making for a convenient ride to Otavalo and beyond. Thomas, Christina and their family were kind and hospitable, making us feel at home. We peppered them with questions, and they were always patient and helpful. They were laid back and relaxed, and made it easy for us as parents to relax also. Our 2 year old, Adalee, in the course of her many adventures, broke no less than 3 of their dishes, and peeled a wall decal off the wall during nap time. Thomas and Christina responded with a shrug of the shoulder. If you are traveling with children, look no further than this property. We can't wait to visit the Ring family, Antonio and Yolanda (the gardeners), James, Phophie and Bonnie (los perros) and their beautiful hacienda again.
