Great location if you don't mind the hike
Pros:

Cesar was warm and very inviting and a pleasure to get to chat with. Blue door is very close to voto nacional and other great sites, but it does sit very high on a hill which makes exploring on foot a little tougher. Nights in quito get quite cold and it can be especially rough walking to a seperate shared bathroom, although the water pressure was great with plenty of hot water.

Great stay and great people
Pros:

Blue Door is a lovely place. I was comfortable and had what I needed for my stay. Cesar was an excellent host and checked in on me to see if I needed anything. He was very helpful and is super nice. I didn't get to meet his wife until the ride to the airport but she is very sweet and we had a wonderful conversation during the ride.

Could not have asked for more. Dont hesitate to stay here.
Pros:

Everything about my stay exceeded my expectations. The value for what you get cannot be beat. Caesar and his wife are so incredibly nice and accommodating. They truly go out of their way to make your stay the best that they can. The breakfast was fantastic, the check in was seamless. They even offer after hours pickup for a reasonable cost and takes all the worry out of what transportation to take from the airport. If my travels ever take me to Quito again, I will definitely be going back to see them again. Thank you for all you did for me, I am glad to know I have a friend in Ecuador. Blessings to you both.

Cons:

Cannot think of anything that I did not like. They truly have everything covered

Pros:

O quarto é amplo, a cama é confortável e há um frigobar disponível. Está a cerca de 20 minutos do centro, a internet funciona bem e se pode chegar de madrugada para o check in. Pontos negativos: parte de caminho até o centro é uma ladeira bem íngreme; chuveiro desregulado, ora esquentava demais, ora ficava gelado; quarto com claridade de noite e de dia; falta uma boca de fogão na cozinha. Acho que faltou expor as opções do que fazer em Quito para além da oferta de tours oferecidos pelos proprietários (apenas depois de 2 dias a dona me explicou onde eu poderia tomar um bus á metade do mundo desde o jostal. A primeira opção foi tentar me vender um tour com o marido dela).
