    The Space:

    This 700-square-foot (65 m²) loft spans two floors inside a restored building known as Casa Exterior, with one bedroom and two bathrooms sleeping up to three guests. The bedroom is dressed with a queen bed and its own ensuite bathroom, while the living area adds a sofa bed and a second bathroom — a flexible setup for a couple or a small family. The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, blender and toaster, alongside a dining table and BBQ essentials for cooking in. Step out to the private terrace for city and mountain views over Quito's rooftops, a favorite spot to take in the Historic Center below.



    Guest Access:

    You'll have full access to the entire apartment, as well as the property's shared amenities and common areas.

    The building is secured with a security door, and our host greets guests in person on arrival — we'll coordinate your arrival time with you a few days ahead of your stay.



    The Neighborhood:

    San Juan, in Quito's Historic Center, is a family-friendly, walkable neighborhood with a distinctly local, touristic feel — cafés, bakeries and family-run shops line the streets, alongside artisan crafts stalls and easy access to the area's museums and the landmark Basílica del Voto Nacional. It's a comfortable base for exploring one of South America's best-preserved colonial centers on foot.



    Getting Around:

    Quito's Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) sits outside the city in Tababela, roughly 35-45 minutes from the Historic Center by car — we recommend confirming exact timing with us closer to your trip, since this isn't a live route calculation. The neighborhood itself is highly walkable, with museums, cafés and shops all within easy reach on foot.

This apartment is close to the historic old city and the view from the bedroom and balcony is incredible. However, the apartment did not look like the photos, which is a form of fraud. The floors were peeling and the kitchen smelled like urine. The entire rental looked very old.The bedroom is above a cobblestone street that was incredibly noisy. The traffic started at six am, and, at times, it sounded like I was living near a highway. Also, the walls are thin so I could hear a lot of talking from the adjoining units.And if all of that wasn’t bad enough I was told upon my arrival that the area was not safe and that if I am mugged they will take everything but my shoes. A nice way to start a trip. I was ready to find another place after the first night but I stuck it out.I have traveled extensively over the past 50 years (including 25 years as a travel writer) and I would have to say that staying here was a lowlight. I suggest find another place to stay when visiting Quito.
