Great apartment near historic old town Quito
This apartment is great for stay near historic Quito. It is about a 10 minute walk to the main sites, and about a 5 minute walk from La Ronda. Well maintained, clean, and comfortable!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful studio
Everything was perfect. Wolfgang is a wonderful host. He kept in touch from the beginning and answered all questions we had. He arranged for his driver, Marcelo, to pick us up at the airport and had a nice breakfast for our first morning. Marcelo gave us a good orientation to the nearby places and also took us to Otavalo later in the week. The studio was perfect for my husband an I and the gardens are beautiful and peaceful. Location was excellent. 10 minutes walk to the main plaza (at a very slow pace) and centro historico. We felt very safe in the area but took taxis after dark. The appartment had everything you may need. They come and clean the appartment twice a week. They also can do laundry for a small extra charge. We stayed for 4 days and enjoyed every minute of it. Can't tecommend it enough! Beautiful views, amazing and peaceful gardens and studio.

Excellent! A very special place.
Wantara is conveniently located near the historic center of Quito, yet, it feels like a world away. It is a peaceful sanctuary that feels more like living in a botanical garden than in a large city. Each unit has a patio to relax and enjoy the greenery. The unit called Mariposa was clean, comfortable and had all the essentials, to include: Plenty of hot water in the shower, a quaint kitchen area and a seating area with lovely views of the mountains. The owners and staff were attentive and very helpful. Everything was perfect!

Lush and very clean atmosphere
We had a wonderful stay at Mariposa. We arrived late and the owner arranged for Marcello to pick us up at the airport. It was super helpful for us. There was a yummy breakfast plate awaiting us in the fridge for the morning. There was also coffee and fresh water for our use while there. Both Marcello and Wolfgang helped us with where to go while in Quito. The room was perfect and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this for your stay! We loved it!!
