The apartment is on the 6th floor,which is the top floor, with two other neighbours on that floor. There are two indoor parking spaces in the underground garage, which is protected by an electronic security gate. We do not have any cars, so they are presently rented to lawyers from the court for $20 a month each.

The apartment is a split level, with the kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom and small second bedroom on the bottom floor. This is the floor with the large windows that look out over Quito. The view is not spectacular, but there is a lot of light coming in. The upper part of the apartment has a larger bedroom with a dressing nook and closet, as well as its own bathroom. Both bathrooms have showers. In addition, upstairs there is a small bodega for drying clothes or for storage, and landing/loft space which we are using as an office at the moment. This area has a desk, bookshelves, small fridge for drinks, and is set up for computers.
