About this apartment rental
The Home
This modern, light-filled apartment spans over 1,300 square feet across three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms — giving families and small groups plenty of room to spread out and feel at home.
Two spacious master bedrooms each feature their own private en-suite bathrooms and generous closet space. The third bedroom offers two comfortable twin beds and ample closet space. Every room is bright, airy, and well-appointed.
The fully-equipped kitchen features granite countertops with seating for four, a full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and a complete set of dishes, cookware, wine glasses, and utensils — everything you need for a morning coffee or a full home-cooked meal.
The open-concept layout flows into a generous dining area with seating for eight, and a large living room furnished with a sofa, two comfortable armchairs, a coffee table, and a Smart TV — plenty of space to gather, unwind, or simply decompress after a day out.
Additional highlights include a brand-new LG washer and dryer, 750Mbps high-speed WiFi, and a dedicated private parking space in the building's secure underground garage.
The Building
The apartment complex is one of Quito's hidden architectural gems — a former Spanish Colonial school, beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated. Our apartment is located in the newer wing, offering tall windows, high ceilings, and abundant natural light. The stunning central courtyard carries the character of the original colonial design.
The complex is staffed by 24-hour on-site security, and only residents and approved guests may enter — making it a genuinely quiet and worry-free place to return to after a day of exploring.
The Neighborhood
Our home sits on Calle Junín in San Marcos, one of Quito's most beloved and authentic neighborhoods. Families here have lived on these streets for generations, and that sense of community and history is something you'll feel the moment you step outside.
Just steps from the front entrance, next to the historic Iglesia San Marcos, you'll be greeted by a spectacular view of La Virgen del Panecillo. Pull up a chair at Bocanada, order an artisan pizza and a glass of wine, and take it all in.
Calle Junín is one of the most walkable streets in the historic center, with a steady, friendly presence of neighbors, shopkeepers, families, and visitors throughout the day and into the evening — it's a comfortable street to stroll, whether you're heading out for morning coffee or walking home after a late dinner.
Within a 2–3 minute walk, Calle Junín is lined with coffee shops, art galleries, antique stores, museums, woodworking shops, restaurants, and dessert spots — including La Purísima, a restaurant tucked inside the Casa Museo Muñoz Mariño where art and cuisine intertwine. Other nearby favorites include Angel's Town, Artifice Café, and Padmitos for an excellent vegan option. Several small bodegas, including Víveres Vanessa just across the street, stock all the everyday essentials — groceries, fresh bread, hygiene products, and more.
Within 5–10 minutes on foot, you'll find yourself among Ecuador's most iconic landmarks: Plaza Grande, Plaza San Francisco, the Presidential Palace, La Basílica, La Ronda, and centuries-old churches from the Spanish colonial era — the living heart of Quito's UNESCO World Heritage historic center.
Also at Plaza San Francisco is a station on Quito's brand new Metro — modern, clean, safe, and just $0.45 per ride ($0.22 for children and seniors). It connects the historic center to destinations across the city quickly and easily.
For those traveling with children, Parque Itchimbia is a short drive or taxi ride away — a hilltop park with sweeping city views, a playground, sports fields, walking and cycling paths, and restaurants with a view. Honestly, it's a great outing with or without kids.
And if you're looking for an unforgettable dinner, Vista Hermosa is just blocks away — a rooftop restaurant with 360-degree views of the city. It holds a special place in our hearts: it's where we got married.
Whether you're visiting for a week or settling in for an extended stay, our home in San Marcos offers the space, comfort, location, and character to make your time in Quito truly memorable.

Our group of six adults (three couples) was very pleased with this apartment in central Quito. The location and amenities were perfect for our five-day stay. The location is a 15-20 walk to the Plaza Grande. On the same street as the apartment are several small shops with groceries as well as restaurants and cafes. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Shawn is a very responsive host and had many dining recommendations. Further, he generously offered an early check-in for a member of our group who arrived early. We would gladly stay here again.

I can't rave enough about this VRBO. Perfect for our group of 5 - so spacious and comfortable. It was very pretty and had absolutely everything we needed. (The washer and dryer was a huge plus!). The owners couldn't have been nicer -- immediately responsive to our questions and provided the best recommendations. Also, the location! I loved the neighborhood

Great apartment in a super location. Very quiet and very clean. Shawn is a super helpful host. He went to great lengths to accommodate us, as we had an elderly family member requiring some special help. Great restaurant recommendations. Next time in Quito, we will definitely book Shawn's home again.
