Fodor's Expert Review Nü House

You can't miss the modern wood exterior, a style never seen in Quito. The furnishings are every bit as modern inside, too. The owner calls it "minimalist," but we call it "comfortable," with added touches such as flat-screen TVs and whirlpool tubs and huge windows in each room. Elevators stop between floors, necessitating your walking up or down four steps to get to your floor.
