Ecuador, Quito - Moto Guest House

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just returned from Ecuador (Sadly, I did not ride my moto- I was there to visit my girlfriend).
I stayed at Ricardo Rocco's new MOTO GUEST HOUSE, in Quito. I am happy to report that it is ready for guests. The house itself has been mostly remodeled (he was still expanding the kitchen and working on minor details). By the time you read this the garage should be finished as well. It will have a great assortment of power nad hand tools, as well as lots of room to work and is very secure.

It has a kitchen, private rooms, cable TV, fast internet connection, is just a few blocks from a really nice park, and secure space to work on your moto.
Send Ricardo an email if you are in the area

------------------
Back on the road again.

Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Ricard Rocco's Moto Guest House in Quito. It is definately a must for anybody doing an Andes trip through Ecuador. His place has everything you need for bike maintainance - including a great space for it - and Ricardo knows where to get any part or anything else for any bike. I was just planning on cruising through town, and ended up staying about a week there. There's also usually other moto travellers, so a great place to exchange informaction.

Ecuador, Quito - Moto Guest House

Does anybody have the address for Ricardo place, searched the site but can't find the address, fired an e-mail off the other day, but no reply, or maybe used the wrong e-mail from these old threads!
Any help most welcome!
