Stayed Jan 18, 2022I felt insulted from my first interaction with the owner. For example, he required me to buy insurance in addition to the required security deposit - the insurance was more than the cost of a night’s rental. When I called from the airport on check-in day to get entry instructions, Wil accused me of not having paid. I had to provide proof of payment with a screenshot of the receipt. When we arrived at the apartment, we were met by a friendly caretaker but had to spend the next half hour going through an exhaustive inventory list which included the numbers of each kind of dishes, fake plants, light fixtures, pictures on the wall and on and on ad nauseam. There was no dish soap and only 1/3 roll of toilet paper in one bathroom and none in the other! No coffee filters either; not to mention no welcoming starter package of coffee. Nothing about this has been welcoming. I rented through VRBO as an owner for 12 years and this is Not Okay! The apartment was neat and clean, conveniently located, with good security. The caretaker is friendly and helpful, but guests should know that she doesn’t speak English, although the owner, Wil, is fluent in both Spanish and English and was available by phone.

Stayed Jul 24, 2018Overall the apartment was well furnished and tastefully decorated. All the appliances were of high quality and everything worked. The Wifi was trouble-free and had good speed. I stayed there for a month and only had one period of about 3 hours when the provider interrupted service. The owner is very helpful and responds within a reasonable timeframe. It is not a very quiet environment, though. It is located on a busy street and the neighbors like to play their stereo loud enough that the bass-heavy notes penetrate into the living room, and sometimes they do that early in the morning, around 8 to 8:30. The street noise subsides during the night and did not interfere with my sleep. I mentioned the neighbor's music to the owner and he contacted the building manager but they still kept doing it periodically. The neighborhood is safe and there are grocery stores and wine shops within easy walking distance.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969We stayed here for over a week while visiting our daughter who was studying in Quito. The apartment was excellent and the location was the best part. Accessibility to shopping, and the Park, and other speciality shops was wonderful and all within walking distance of the condominium. We only have two comments: the mattress on the bed was too hard and having the TV in one bedroom is not convenient for other guests in the apartment, it really needs to be in the living room. The apartment was home for us!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969My husband and I and another couple spent 10 days in February in this lovely apartment. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner's representative who had set the table and provided roses and a bottle of wine. She showed us around the apartment and the building. While she did not speak English and my Spanish is limited, we communicated just fine! We found the apartment to be well located for taking the bus to our Spanish school (Equinox, highly recommended), as well as for walking to grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls and the lovely Parque La Carolina. The apartment kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc. Being on the 12th floor minimized any traffic noise. I agree with other reviewers that the owner is highly organized and very prompt, professional and easy to communicate with, and that the inventory is amazingly detailed. I also agree with the suggestion to have a TV in the living area, but this is very minor. We truly loved our stay and would highly recommend this apartment.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Four of us stayed in this apartment for 12 days and we found it to be highly appropriate for our needs. We found the apartment to be clean, comfortable, convenient and safe. The location is really handy and it was great to be across the road from Parque La Carolina. The kitchen was well-equipped; bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were great too. The rooftop terrace has amazing views and it was wonderful to have access to it. One minor suggestion for improvement: the inventory at the start was perhaps a little intimidating and too comprehensive! The owner was prompt, professional and approachable in his communications. This was a great apartment and we would definitely return and recommend it to others.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969This accommodation exceeded our expectations. We rented the apartment for 10 days. It was perfect for two couples with separate bathrooms, plenty of towels, great showers, ample closet space and fantastic laundry facilities. Plenty of taxis were available. It is not far from the main bus routes to get downtown. Grocery markets were a 15 - 20 min. walk away. The roof-top terrace was stunning with magnificent views all around. We felt very comfortable and safe staying here. Because the owner specifically asked for suggestions for improvement, here are some recommends. Have some oil and vinegar available to make a quick salad dressing. We donated some. The large TV (which came with Netflix, Wifi and movie capability) is located in the master bedroom. For us, as two couples, relocating it to the living room would be great. We were careful to remove our outdoor footwear at the front door as requested. Perhaps a mat here and the ottoman located here, to sit on, would be helpful. Corner protectors would help keep the wall corners pristine. The 2nd bedroom could benefit from adding a narrow night table with a small lamp. On our arrival, having to check through and sign off on the extremely, extensive inventory checklist ( which went so far as to list pencils, paper clips and lightbulbs) was odious. The extra insurance requirement/deposit seems excessive and was impossible for us to procure being as it is only available to US citizens. We have not encountered this problem in other apartment rentals in Europe and elsewhere. Our suggestions are minor in detail. Overall we loved this place and would not hesitate to return ourselves or recommend it to others.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Unfortunately we had to cancel our booking. Wil was very helpful and thorough in the entire process. We received our refund promptly. We will definitely book here when we return to Quito.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969My wife and I stayed for 21 days from Feb 7 through Feb 28, 2015. We are in our late 60's. While there I walked three blocks to a Spanish school each day. I've been trying to think of something useful to say that hasn't already been said by other reviewers - but it has mostly been said. I'd recommend this apartment to my closest friends or family members. If I were to return I wouldn't even look for another location to stay. I'd try to reserve this unit again. All of the good things that have been mentioned before are absolutely accurate. The building is very new and very secure. The guards are friendly and recognize you as you come and go. The Picasso is located in a newer modern safe part of the city. Taxis are incredibly plentiful and inexpensive. You can take the bus for 25 cents but they can be very crowded. However, for $2 or $3 you can go most places in comfort in one of the taxis that seem to come along about every fifteen seconds. I couldn't believe how completely equipped the kitchen was. The rental price seems exactly right. My wife and I both felt fortunate that we'd selected this property and dealing with the owner was a pleasure.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Great home away from home. Central location across from Carolina Park with many restaurants in the area to choose from. Very secure building with 24 hour security at front desk. Would consider staying here again.
