We really enjoyed our stay at the house of Marco and Marianna! The flat was very comfortable, clean, you can use all their stuff for cooking , there is everything you need! The flat is only a 5-10 minutes walk away from the terminal and in the neighbourhood you find grocery stores, bakery and restaurants. Marco and his wife Marianna are very friendly people! Marco picked us up from the terminal and we got coffee and toast as a welcome and had a nice chat. He showed us around in the neighbourhood and was very helpful! And if you don't speak spanish, their english is very good as they lived in England for many years! We would definitely recommend this accomodation!

I spent a wonderful time at Marco's appartment! The appartment was very clean, full equiped and Well located (close to the bus terminal).

Marco y su esposa fueron excelentes anfitriones, desde mi llegada me hicieron sentir como en casa, inclusive prepararon el desayuno para nosotros. El departamento es idéntico a las fotos, con todo lo necesario para una estadía cómoda. La ubicación es excelente, cerca del terminal, tiendas, etc. En fin, un lugar encantador y la familia anfitriona 10/10.

Marilyn & Marco are exceptional hosts! They have a very sweet family, and were sincerely helpful & accommodating. The place is clean, comfortable, and centrally located. They truly are ideal hosts, and we wished we could have stayed longer! Muchísimas gracias :)

Marilyn was very welcoming and unbelievable friendly. We had the chance to learn a lot about Ecuador's culture since she and her husband took the time and brought us to wonderful places. This was one of the exceptional Airbnb stories we experienced!

Roxana is an excellent person and host. She made me feel welcome and was available to answer any questions. The house has everything needed to cook and even to grill some stakes. The place is as described and safe to stay there. The place is part of a gated community. However, it is located at a underdeveloped area away from the city center; therefore, still unknown to many taxi drivers. Just make sure to get written instructions on how to get there by taxi so you can pass it to the taxi driver. I never rode a bus, so I can't comment on that.

Excelente atención, lugar muy cómodo.

First and foremost I want to thank Diego and Roxana for accepting my super last minute request. They were very lovely and informative hosts. The house is very new and modern and described only 10 minutes from downtown. My first time in Ambato I did not have a hard time getting there (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps works just fine in this area. I don't like being in the middle of the city due to it is usually a little noisier. I felt very safe and comfortable here since it is part of a gated community which was very quite as well. The house was fully furnished, clean and had everything you needed. I cooked meals there with no issues and loved that it had a gas stove apposed to the usual electric you get at hotels. I definitely enjoyed the hot tub after a day of exploring. They also have a balcony which allows you to enjoy the beautiful night or day. I will definitely be staying here again in future visits to ambato and recommend others to do the same.

Diego was a great host. I didn't had the chance to meet him but communication with him was fast and easy. Recommended!

Un excelente recibimiento por parte de Roxana, una persona muy amable y abierta a ayudarnos en nuestro viaje. La casa se encontró en perfectas condiciones tal cual se muestra en las fotos. Se encuentra ubicada un poco a las afueras de la ciudad, por lo tanto es un lugar tranquilo para descansar, además se encuentra en un condominio seguro donde no tuvimos ningún inconveniente. Muy felices con nuestra Estadía gracias :)

El Conjunto cerrado, muy seguro, los guardias exelentes personas y siempre dispuestos para lo necesario. Si tienes niños de edad escolar, ideal, porque hay varios y pasan divertidisimo en grupo. La atención de Roxana insuperable. Si quieres estar en Ambato sin estar dentro del bullicio, es un muy buen lugar muy cerca del paso lateral.

Diego is a super host! we were welcome with a great basket of local fruits and as in a five star hotel with delicious chocolates in each bed, Diego was of great help guiding us with touristic information. About the house: great deal for the price, the house is warm and really comfy, with a spa hot tub and also we had the chance to make a BBQ. Me and my family look forward to be Diego's hosts again soon! Diego es un super anfitrión! Fuimos recibidos con una linda cesta de frutas locales, y como en un hotel 5 estrellas, con deliciosos chocolates en cada cama, Diego fue de mucha ayuda para nosotros, guiándonos con información turística. Sobre la casa: muy buen trato por el precio, la casa es cálida y confortable con un jacuzzi, pudimos también hacer un asado. Mi familia y yo esperamos poder volver a ser huéspedes de Diego pronto!

Diego's place was very nice and Diego was a great host. He had us met at the bus station and provided a ride to the house. If we had any questions or concerns he responded quickly. The house is roomy and well equipped. It is in a small gated development about three miles from the center of town. It about $3 by cab or 30¢ by bus. We would be happy to stay there again if we return.

muy buen lugar. excelente ubicacion, podiamos caminar a casi todos lados y el taxi estaba barato. Ximena se porto excelente, may atenta. Definitivamente esta recomendado

Unser leider kurzer Aufenthalt in Christopers Gasthaus war sehr schön und gelungen. Das Haus ist fantastisch, verfügt über modernste Einrichtung, inkl. ein großer Fernseher wifi und und und. Es ist auf Hochglanz poliert also strahlt an Sauberkeit in jeder Ecke. Die Betten sind neu und verfügen sogar über europäische Decken, was eine super Überraschung war. Empfangen wurden wir super lieb mit Obst und sogar den Tiefgaragenstellplatz bot man uns an. Alles in allem war der Aufenthalt angenehm und sehr komforabel. Ein kleines Minus ist die Gebühr von 40$ die für die Säuberung des Hauses vor Bezug geforder wurde. Dies hatte ich in der Beschreibung überlesen und führte dann bei Schlüsselübergabe ein wenig zu Verwirrung. Wir danken dennoch zu einer super angenehmen Erfahrung in diesem Haus und empfehlen allen die auf europäischen Standart wert legen dieses tolle, so gepflegte Haus.

Excelente lugar para hospedarse, completamente amoblada y elegante. Zona residencial, tranquila y cerca del único Mall de la ciudad. La señal de wifi es muy mala, tienes que estar cerca del router para poder conectarte.

El departamento bonito, limpio, seguro y cómodo. Nos sentimos muy bien estando ahí. Christopher siempre estuvo pendiente de nosotros y se lo agradecemos.

The home was nice and clean. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The beds were comfortable with lots of sheets and pillows. The home had good towels and clean bathrooms. We loved the location, easy to get to supermaxi for food shopping. Driving distance to the plaza market for produce where you have many varieties of fruits. Overall experience was positive.

Falta un poco de coordinacion y seriedad por parte del arrendador ya que no vive en el país, primero me indico que la limpieza estaba incluida y despues me cobro la limpieza cuando habiamos llegado, de ahi el lugar es muy acogedor y esta muy bien ubicado es seguro

Me gustó el orden, limpieza, seguridad y seriedad del servicio.

Chris is very responsive, the place was clean, his aunt was the host and was very kind. The location is very convenient, very close to the CC Mall de Los Andes where supermarket and many stores are available.

We had a great stay at Christopher's house in Ambato. The house is in a quiet complex that is conveniently located. The house is very clean, comfortable and the kitchen has all that you need.

Very helpful if you speak Spanish but Ana's son, Carlos is nearby and a wonderful co-host who enjoys speaking and learning more English. Entire family is very helpful.

Great location right in the middle of the commercial district surrounded by restaurants and cafes. Apartment is in a very secure building only 3 blocks from the market & 4 blocks for the artisan marketplace. Buses nearby for further jaunts. Host was wonderful and helpful in making sure we had what we needed and knew how to get around. Highly recommend!

Hôtes très sympathiques a la fois avenants et discrets qui ont pu répondre a toutes nos questions

Vanessa's apartment is absolutely beautiful. Spacious and we'll detailed. The views of the river are wonderful and it is just across the river from''old Town'. We had a little difficulty finding the place and Vanessa was kind enough to wait at the apartment and 'talk us in'. She was very kind, very supportive. If you are looking for a secure and beautiful apartment in Ambato, this is the place.

Appartement vraiment extra, avec une vraie douche, le wifi, le luxe!!!! L'immeuble est sécurisé, le gardien super sympa,le centre ville a moins de 10 minutes à pied. Vanessa est d'une extrême gentillesse, facile à joindre et dispo pour ses hôtes. Que dire de plus? Assurément le logement à choisir sur Ambato !

Fernando and Tatiana made us feel like we are part of their family, we spent much of the carnaval time together and were sad to leave. Excellent breakfasts, lovely and comfortable house, and lovely very hospitable people. Dont miss the opportunity to meet them!

This is complicated. The first night I stayed with one person and the rest of my time in Ambato I stayed where I originally thought I would be staying. Fernando explained that his aunt's place (where I stayed after the first night) had no hot water--and didn't feel right about leaving me there. Fernando and the two hosts did everything to make me feel comfortable.

Everything was good until the day of arrival, then we couldn't make contact. The host place and Tatiana were good, but she wasn't expecting us. Not sure what happened.

Tanto Tatiana como Fernando son personas encantadoras pero doña Margarita, la mamá de Fernando es realmente una persona muy especial que supera a su hijo y nuera. Estuvimos en familia, con una colaboración especial de los anfitriones para hacer mas amable nuestra estancia. Sera muy grato regresar a su casa. Todo funciona muy bien, tal lo ofrecido. Abrazos para los tres

La Señora que nos recibio era muy amable, y nos dejaba quedar en el espacio con nuestro perro sin problema. El único asunto era que la coordinación a llegar a la casa con el contacto original fue un poco complicado y confusa.

Endroit correct, bon déjeuner.

Marco and Elena are very kind hosts. They are extremely thoughtful and do everything right. They are always willing to help and made us feel extremely welcome. They even went out of their way numerous times to help out, which we really appreciate. As for the house, it is wonderful. It's beautiful and extremely cozy. It has everything you need and they even keep it stocked with rice, sugar and other kitchen necessities. The garden is unbelievable and is the best part of the house. The surrounding neighborhood has everything you need: many restaurants, street food, pharmacies, grocery stores, fruit stands, pan (bread) shops and more. All of which is less than 5 minutes away by foot. The neighborhood is very quiet and the people are friendly. We were very excited about the cottage - which exceeded our expectations - but in the end it was Marco and Elena who really made our stay exceptional. They even shared family photos, videos and more with us, which we really enjoyed. The internet works very well and the house is a great base to go anywhere, whether in Ambato or beyond. We definitely recommend to anyone.

Me quedé en la casita con mi mamá y mi hermana. El sitio es muy cómodo y limpio. Marco y Elena nos recibieron muy bien y fueron muy atentos con nosotras durante la estadía, hasta nos llevaron a conocer Ambato y alrededores. Realmente me gustó quedarme allí y lo recomiendo.

Elena and her daughters met us at the little beach house with open arms. Very hospitable and enthusiastic about our comfort. Elena made herself available by phone and helped us find our way into the city for Carnival festivities. Her daughter brought us bread for the morning, and we ate ripe passion fruit and figs from the garden. Elena was also amenable when we had to leave early for business in a nearby town. All in all a nice respite from the bustle of central Ambato.

The little garden house was wonderful! It was very neat, organized and also clean. Though it is not a large, spacious, etc. house it was exactly what we needed for our stay; we could have not asked for more. If I would have to do it all over again I would rent it again. They have a washer on premises and can hang your clothes outside to dry. The garden is beautifully green and adds to the feel of the home. Hot water for a shower is via a shower-head unit and you have to play with the knob to get the degree of hot water that you want. Once you find out where to set it it's no problem. If you don't need real hot water it's not an issue; it comes out sufficiently warm. Don't let playing with it and getting adjusted to the shower-head system discourage you. Kitchen had all that we needed, pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc. We can't complain about a thing. The neighborhood was quiet and nice, it was secure and all was well. It was close to one of the main roads so transportation was not an issue at all. It was a beautiful, cozy, and home-like place. The hosts are nice and also friendly. They invited us to eat a small treat at their home. They make you feel welcome. They checked in on us, but were not at all overbearing. Our experience was a 10 out of 10. I do recommend the small garden house!

We really enjoyed our time at the little cottage in Ambato. Elena and Marco are wonderful, kind people. They made us feel like family. The cottage is in a good location and the secure parking is great if you have a car. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for cooking including basics like salt, pepper,oil etc. If you are over 6' tall, be aware there are some low doorways. The shower takes some getting used to, but we eventually were able to get water that was warm enough. All in all, we were very comfortable there for three weeks. Thank you, Marco and Elena for your kind hospitality!

Elena was incredibly nice and welcoming. She met us at the house when we arrived to show us around and introduce us to the city. Her english was much better than our spanish, so that helped us quite a bit :-) She had recently installed wifi in the house and it worked great. The house itself was beautiful and cozy. There was fruit in the garden we could eat, a kitchen, and two nice bedrooms. The neighborhood was quiet and an easy 15-minute cab ride ($3) to the city center. Overall, we had a great experience!

Tres bon accueil par nos hôtes avec toujours le souci de nous aider si besoin. La maison correspond à la description avec un tres agreable jardin entretenu par marco. Très bien située proche des bus taxis et petites epiceries. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir si on en a l occasion....hôtes très prévenants

Marco and Elena were absolutely wonderful! Their little casita is perfectly located in a nice little neighborhood on the south side of Ambato. Elena speaks very good English, so if your Spanish isn't that great, have no fear. She can understand you well enough and be understood enough to have a great time. The house was clean, with towels and all of the basic amenities as well as an amazing view. It's on a little parcel of land where Marco grows corn as well as a couple of fruits that you can pick and eat when they are in season! The house is close to a bus stop to take you into El Centro and on the way you can stop at the mall for some free Wifi if you need it. There are also several little street stalls and panaderias on the main street closest to the house. There's also a mini-mercado and an Internet cafe with a pay phone right around the corner from the casita. Marco and Elena themselves were everything you could ask for in a host. My husband got horribly sick the 2nd day we were there, and they stepped up to take care of everything. They checked on us periodically, they brought us medicine, they even brought us soup from their own home! After recovering, Marco and Elena took us around the area and showed us much of the local Ambato. We visited Quisapincha, Cevallo, Achota as well as just driving around the surrounding areas to get a feel for the Tungurahua province. They took us to get colada morass, a traditional drink, as well as introducing us to the local cuisine of cuy - guinea pig ;) Overall, it was a wonderful, quiet stay at the house and we greatly enjoyed our time with Marco and Elena. They are some of the nicest people we've met anywhere and we look forward to staying with them again when we return to Ecuador next year!

Ximena y su esposo son gente acogedora y amable. El sitio está muy bien ubicado, limpio y confortable, con todas las comodidades necesarias para tener una agradable estadía. Recomendado.

I really enjoyed staying with Ximena and her family. They welcomed me warmly and did everything to make me feel comfortable! We also shared some great conversations and hot chocolate :) I will definitively stay with them again!

Gracias a Ximena y su padre por la hospitalidad con la que nos atendieron. Seguro regresamos por acá.
