This property is well maintained and enjoyable. We loved the vibe of the upstairs of the loft... very cozy. Great decoration and lots of thought were pit into the last renovation. The only downsides are the neighborhood (a bit rough), and we couldn't get the downstairs warm (downstairs heater didn't work well).

Thank you for your kind comments. It was a pleasure hosting you and your fiancee in our house. I'm sorry that the downstairs area was not warm enough.
In order to keep that part nice and warm, this unit has an efficient fireplace that apparently you didn't use. I wish you could've talked to Esteban, your Host in Quito requesting another electric heater, very certain that he could've fixed that problem.
In regard with the neighborhood "a bit rough", "Casa LunaLoma" is located in Quito’s Historic Core, on the quiet and residential neighborhood called “La Loma Grande” which is minutes away from all the famous landmarks and also where local residents live. La Loma Grande is not the gentrified part of Quito, which is what gives its unique character. Regardless, it's a neighbor that is constantly patrolled by police cars.
We always recommend, in the afternoon after 6pm, to use a taxi cab to return home, the price for the rides are very convenient.
My husband and I had a wonderful 2-week stay in this adequately appointed apartment. We love staying where the locals live when we travel, so this was perfect. We visited lots of the little restaurants, shops, and bakeries in the blocks near Casa LunaLoma--all great experiences.
Maria and Esteban were gracious and helpful with our questions. On our first day, Esteban even rode in our taxi with us to help us find our tour location as we were running late. Service with a smile! :D
We felt safe in the area, but didn't travel after dark unless we were in a taxi/Uber. (Side Note: We much preferred our experiences with the Uber drivers while in Quito as compared with the city taxis. However, we LOVED Patricio, the cabby associated with Casa LunaLoma! We hired him to transport us to and from the airport.)
The heater provided was just enough heat while downstairs, and the down comforter was nice and cozy while sleeping in the loft. If you get cold feet, bring some slippers or thick socks as the tile floors downstairs never warm up--well, not enough for us. :)
Having a washer/dryer combo was definitely a plus. Don't wait until the last minute to do laundry though as it takes several hours for a load to wash and dry. I brought a travel elastic laundry line with built in clothes pins, and I hung it between two chair in the living room to dry some of my delicates.
It's a city of 3+ million people, so don't expect peace and quiet! There are dogs barking, horns blaring, loud chatter from neighbors, and announcements via bullhorns on passing vehicles at all hours, but you're in a major metropolitan area in South America. If you're a light sleeper, utilize the ear plugs they provide or download a sleep/noise app before you arrive--we did!
Our overall experience in this apartment and capital city was wonderful, and we're thinking of returning with our children and grandchildren next summer.
Thanks for a great experience!

It was a pleasure hosting you and your husband in our place. So happy you had a great experience. Thank you for your kind comments. We would love to receive you again in our house. Siempre Bienvenidos!!
Alojamiento amplio, cocina bien equipada, hay sal, azúcar, café...la lavadora secadora una maravilla, nos llevamos la ropa limpia a nuestro próximo destino. La ubicación es perfecta, en el centro histórico, en ningún momento sentimos inseguridad, solo si volvíamos tarde regresábamos en Uber. La cama nos resultó blanda, pero eso ya es cuestión de gustos.

Fue un placer hospedarles en Casa LunaLoma. Gracias por sus amables comentarios y por elegir nuestra casa para su visita a Quito. Estamos muy contentos de que haya disfrutado de su estadia con nosotros.
Siempre Bienvenidos!!
Beautiful apartment and great host, rough neighborhood
The apartment is gorgeous, full of character, and exactly as pictured. Maria and Esteban arranged for a car service to pick us up from the airport and Esteban met us upon arrival at the apartment.
Unfortunately we ended up leaving after one night and checking into a hotel, because we were unable to walk around the neighborhood after the sun set (around 6pm). It is only safe to leave the apartment in a car after dark, which I wish we would've known beforehand. While the apartment itself is very secure, we didn't feel safe in the neighborhood.

Amy, I'm so glad you liked the loft in our house.
I'm so sorry to hear you didn't feel safe in the neighborhood. It is true that after 6pm the atmosphere changes from the day time when you can walk easily. Please note that is a general concern throughout all of Quito, which is why Esteban, our host in Quito, always recommends taking a taxicab for going or returning home. Regardless, among the hundreds of international guests "Casa LunaLoma" has received, nobody has reported of any occasion where they felt threatened with security if they followed the advice.
La Loma Grande neighborhood is not the gentrified part of Quito, which is what gives its unique character. Regardless, it's a neighborhood that is patrolled by police cars, especially being so close to a tourist area to preserve the safety of residents and visitors.
Thank you for your feedback and suggestion. We will add a more detailed description.

This is a lovely place to stay in Quito. The central historical district is in easy walking distance, and there is parking available inside the building (just a few steps from the apartment). Esteban was very helpful in orienting us to the city.
The property was centrally located in historical district. Easy to walk to and from many locations. Very comfortable bed and living space. Highly recommend this property.
