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!
