We had a wonderful 2 1/2-month stay at Tamayo. Cathy has beautiful taste and the apartment is charming, filled with sunlight, and quiet in a lovely residential neighborhood within a short walk of public transportation, restaurants, and Supermaxi for groceries. Tamayo is right next to La Casa de la Cultura and is only a 10-minute walk from Plaza Foch. It's less than 3 minutes from the Mercado with alpaca ponchos, blankets, scarves, as well as "Panama" hats, leather goods, and every folk art treasure you could find at Otavalo. Cathy was a dream host. I will definitely stay at Tamayo when I return to Quito.
