High in the midst of the Andes mountain range lies Quito, the capital of Ecuador and the highest capital city in the world. Named after the indigenous people who founded the city in ancient times, there is nothing this city prizes more than its history, be it the archaeological remnants of their ancestors or the colonial influences of their forefathers. In fact, this city is so rich in history, it is deemed one of the best-preserved historic centres of the Americas; and, along with Kraków, Poland, was one of the world’s first UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The historical mountain air beckons to you – it’s time to explore this marvellous city! If you’re planning to have a vacation here, you need to look for a place to stay. From hostels to vacation rentals, the capital city has something for every tourist. Here’s a list of Airbnbs in Ecuador, specifically in its capital, Quito.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on January 21, 2025.
