Owners condition that you turn the AC off when you leave and only have the auto fan on left the apartment hot all the time. The location has plenty of restaurant options and the view is nice, especially at night but it does get a little noisy on the riverfront.

Love Guayaquil such a great city.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
The transportation was a little confusing to understand, I had to ask a lot of strangers for help, which I can because I speak Spanish, but it would be difficult for someone who doesn’t speak the language.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Although GYE has gotten to be a big city and still growing, the lack of cleanliness is evident.
