Apartment Rentals in Quito:
Is situated in a small block of eight similar flats, located near the top of the steep winding road leading down to the historic village of Guapulo. It is located on the lower ground floor, and the natural lie of the hill means that both the living room and bedroom enjoy panoramic views over Guapulo and the valley beyond. On a clear day you can just see the massive volcano Cayambe on the horizon.

The flat has a living room, bathroom, kitchen with breakfast bar, laundry and a double bedroom with shower room en suite (see the attached floor plan for layout). Outside it has a dedicated parking space, and the building enjoys a 24 hour security guard. The flat caters for 2 in the double bedroom, although it is possible to sleep another two on the sofa bed in the living room, but visitors should note there is only one shower (off the main bedroom).

The flat is well equipped -the kitchen has a modern fridge/freezer, gas cooker, electric grill, and pretty well most things you might need to create a dinner party. In the laundry there is a new top loading washing machine, drying line, iron and ironing board, and vacuum cleaner. The bedroom has cable TV, and extensive wardrobe space. In the living room there is the settee and two comfortable swivel chairs. It also has a dining area with table and chairs for up to six people.

There is a wifi internet connection for visitors who bring their own computer.

The price includes the cleaning of the flat and change of bedding once a week.

Location:
The apartment is located in the best area of town just 200 m from the the five star Hotel Quito (you can use their pool and gym facilities for around $16 a day). This is a quieter area away from the traffic and pollution of Colonial Quito.

Near the hotel in the elegant Av Gonzales Suarez are a number of shops including small supermarkets, chemist, laundry and bakery. Also just 50m down the hill you will find a delightful local store selling fresh bread, drinks and other everyday items from 7.00 in the morning. If you prefer a more cosmopolitan shopping experience then a short taxi ride will take you to Megamaxi the largest superstore in Quito and the Quicentro Shopping Centre where you can buy pretty well anything.

Just at the top of the hill, 150m from the flat, is the local bar El Mirador de Guapulo which serves typical bar snacks and cocktails and looks out over the Sanctuario de Guapulo, the oldest colonial church in Quito. On many evenings there is live music in the bar. Alternatively a taxi ride of around two dollars will take you into the popular Mariscal Area of town with its many restaurants, bars, shops and other interesting sights.
