Apartments and Homestays in Quito

Staying with a local family is a great way to practice your Spanish and connect with the culture. It is also often a good budget option for a long-term accommodation, at the same time providing a much needed income source for many host families. Homestays should not cost more than $10 - $13 per day including meals.
