HostalVilla64 is an oasis in a fairly central part of Guayaquil. The street is quite quiet, but security is clearly an issue as you need to be let out and let back in again. Our room had 2 sets of bars on each window. Despite asking for a quiet room, ours was next to reception and we were aware of all comings and goings. Service was excellent, breakfast really good, and the wee courtyard a definite plus.
