The Quito Guest House

Marco is extremely friendly and helpful, and he also speaks English. You cannot beat the value, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Located on a hillside overlooking the old city, the location isn't the best: each day involves huffing up the side of the hill at least once! Not a lot of places to eat nearby, so you need to take a bus (5-10 min walk away), a taxi, or walk. Pluses include a kitchen, terrace with view, and living area available for everyone to use. And fast WiFi, too!
