World known for having the largest and best preserved Colonial section the area is currently undergoing a renovation Project sponsored by the city of Quito and FONSAL. The city itself was the second in the world to be names a world Heritage site by Fonsal in 1978. For years the area was neglected by the locals and crime was a problem. But now with a recent surge of interest from international investors, the area has been revitalized as one of Quito?s best places to visit and live. Its charming cobblestone streets and Renaissance churches and Colonial stately homes make it one of Latin America?s most culturally distinguished areas.

This apartment is on the top floor of a second floor Spanish Colonial home that has been recently renovated. There are a total of four apartments in the building. This unit has its own private rooftop terrace (the only one in the house) and is very private. The house has a typical inner courtyard. The street out front is pedestrian only and is very quiet. The house is located just on the perimeter of Colonial Quito behind the Neo-Gothic style Basilica church.
