Keep on doing what they are doing. Before going I did visit La Sanfrancisco but was not satisfied at all. They were so unorganized. I could tell La Cato really cared about me.

Personal comments
I loved going to cafe sutra and el Acustica (night club). Anyone who visits Quito has to go there. Banos is also a hotspot for turists and I strongly recommend going to Arash. It is worth it because you feel like you are in paradice. The beaches are unforgettable and a nice place to relax and party at the same time. The Beer House is a good place to go with a group of friends.
