Best areas in Ecuador:
Main Scene: Tourist zone. Best concentration of venues. Easy to walk.
Alternatives: Secondary area 15 min by taxi.
Hope this helps.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $112/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
