    Judith is a great host, she showed me around town and helped me get a sim card for my phone. She also gave me some avocados and other produce from her garden. The location is very beautiful and the cabin is comfortable.

    I stayed with Judith for three weeks and I had a great experience. I felt safe and really enjoyed her lovely garden and nice dogs. Judith is very helpful and she did a lot to make my stay the best possible. I warmly recommend staying with Judith.

    We had to take a chance and book very quickly due to our own time restraints. We could not have been more lucky to have stumbled upon Judith and her adobe home! What a fantastic host with an awesome place to share with guests. If you are a dog person in any way you will fall in love with her two big guys! Judith is full of all kinds of great knowledge and very willing to share. There is a beautiful garden with many hammocks to choose from. The house is well secured and very close to a bus stop that can easily get you to Cumbayá or into Old Town Quito, via Rio Coca bus terminal.

    This location is highly recommended for rest and relaxation or as a home base to explore all that Ecuador has to offer!

    Wonderful gracious host with expansive knowledge of Cumbaya and Quito, traditional adobe house is well placed near bus stop to Cumbaya and Quito (Rio Coco terminal). Our short stay greatly exceeded our hopes and we will be back with Judith soon.
