ID: 3 · Type: Homestay · Location: Barrio El Dorado, Quito
This host family has two rooms to offer. They are on the third floor of the house that is located on a hill very close to the center with a breathtaking view over Quito’s center and the northern part of the town. Both rooms have a queen-sized bed with a nightstand. On the same floor is a small bathroom with a shower that has to be shared if both rooms are occupied. Also, there is a small common room for the students to do their homework, listen to music and just hang out. On the top floor there is a roof terrace which provides an amazing view over the city at daytime as well as at nighttime.
The parents of the family are called Patricia and Manuel. They run their own small restaurant in the historic center. Their two sons are called Andres and Javier. Andres works at IBM and Javier has his own small marketing company. Part of the family is their very sweet and well-behaved dog called Negro which usually stays outside. The family is cooking very diverse and tries to have meat about three times a week, but if vegetarian meals are preferred, this is also possible. Smoking is allowed outside.
The house is located on a hill very close to the historic center. Right next to the house is the “Parque Itchimbia” which offers great possibilities to walk around, do sports or relax, and often, there are also concerts and other interesting events taking place in the park. The distance to school is about a 10 minutes’ walk downhill, while back from school it takes you about 20 minutes to walk up the hill.
