The Space:

A cozy and practical base to explore Quito’s history. This apartment is perfect for travelers looking for an authentic stay with a great view without the price tag of a luxury hotel.



🖼️The Terrace: The best part of the house. It’s a simple, open space where you can sit and look at El Panecillo and the city. Great for fresh air and a quick photo of the Virgin.

🛏️Living Area: A functional and honest space. We have a comfortable bed, a small table for meals or work, and enough storage for your bags.

🍳Kitchen & Basics: You’ll find what you need to cook your own meals: a stove, microwave, and fridge. We also have a washer inside the apartment, which is very handy for long trips.

🌐Location: We are located on a traditional street in the Old Town. It’s a real neighborhood, so you’ll experience the local life of Quito just steps away from the main plazas and churches.



Guest Access:

Guests will be able to utilize the apartment' and communal spaces throughout their stay.



The Neighborhood:

Staying here means living in the real Quito. Our street, Galápagos, is part of the traditional Historic Center, where you’ll see local life exactly as it is.



📍 Heart of Old Town: You are in one of the most strategic spots. It’s a lively, working-class neighborhood full of local character.

Walk to Everything:

7-10 min walk: The stunning Basílica del Voto Nacional.

12-15 min walk: Plaza Grande (Main Square) and the Presidential Palace.

Nearby: Museums, old convents, and hidden colonial courtyards.

🥘 Authentic Food: No tourist traps here. You’ll find small local bakeries, "almuerzos" (cheap local lunch spots), and traditional markets nearby.

🛒 Daily Basics: There are plenty of small "tiendas" (grocery stores) just steps away where you can buy fresh fruit, water, and snacks.



A quick tip: 🚶‍♂️

Quito’s Old Town is famous for its hills! Be prepared for some steep walks—it’s the best way to get those legs in shape while enjoying the colonial architecture.



Safety & Vibes: 🛡️

The neighborhood is active and safe during the day. Like in any big city's historic center, we recommend taking an Uber or Taxi if you are returning late at night to get dropped off right at the door.



Getting Around:

The apartment is in a very central spot, making it easy to move around whether you like walking or using apps.



🚶 Walking: This is the best way to see the Old Town. Most of the main churches, plazas, and museums are between 5 to 15 minutes away on foot.

🚗 Uber & Cabify: These apps work perfectly in Quito and are very affordable. They will drop you off right at the front door. It’s the safest and easiest option at night.

🚕 Yellow Taxis: There are plenty of them passing by. Just remember to ask them to use the "taxímetro" (meter) or agree on a price before starting the ride.

🚌 Public Transport: You are close to main bus lines and the "Metrobus" station. It’s a very cheap way (35 cents) to go to the North of the city (modern area) or the main bus terminals.
