La perla de la montaña
Perla de la Montaña sits in San Juan, a calm residential neighborhood on the hillside just above Quito’s historic center. From the balcony the city rolls out below you: church domes, tiled roofs, and on clear days the snow cone of Cotopaxi on the horizon.
The apartment is newly built and thought through for real stays: two proper bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with induction stove, fiber internet fast enough for video calls, and a free private parking spot, which is rare in this part of town.
Morning coffee in the sun on the balcony, ten minutes downhill to the Basílica, and in the evening the city lights switch on beneath you. This is the Quito that locals live in. Guests tell us that is exactly why they loved it.
A full apartment that works like home.
City panorama, Andes skyline and morning sun.
Stable fiber connection and a dedicated workspace for remote work.
Induction stove, oven, microwave, fridge and everything to cook properly.
A secure spot on the property, rare in this neighborhood.
Free to use, handy for long trips and trekking laundry.
Hot showers for everyone.
Two real bedrooms with quality mattresses and fresh linen.
Private entrance in a quiet, safe residential complex.
Acclimatize at 2,850 m before Cotopaxi or Quilotoa. TelefériQo and the Pichincha trailheads are a short ride away, and your trekking laundry dries at home.
The UNESCO historic center starts ten minutes downhill: Basílica del Voto Nacional, Plaza Grande, La Ronda. Walk down, taxi back for a couple of dollars.
Fiber internet, a real desk, a kitchen for proper meals and free parking. Quiet at night and central by day.
The photos show the apartment exactly as it is.

“Luis met us when we checked in and took us around the neighborhood to point out the best shops and restaurants. He was very kind and helpful.”
The people behind the pearl
The apartment carries Esther’s name for a reason: she and her husband Luis own it, live nearby and look after everything personally. Luis will welcome you, carry your bags up, explain the water heater and, if you let him, walk you through the neighborhood to his favorite shops.
Luis and Esther speak Spanish. For everything else, their son-in-law Sven answers messages in English, German or Spanish, usually within the hour.
San Juan · above the historic center
A quiet local neighborhood on the hillside, with the Old Town at your feet.
Honest note from our guests: the walk back up is steep. Taxis are safe, everywhere and cost a couple of dollars, or hop on the bus that stops in front of the building.
