Where to Purchase Household Goods

[BARRY KELLY]

I have a condo on the northern coast that needs to be outfitted for short-term rental. It has furniture and all major appliances, but I need to purchase things like pots/pans, linens, bedding, kitchen utensils, wall art, patio furniture, TV and small appliances. Need recommendations on where to buy in Quito, Manta or Bahia. Nothing fancy, need to keep the cost reasonable.

Kpica in Bahia has a lot of kitchen goods. Tia would also have small appliances and possibly patio furniture. Manta has a couple of big malls where you could easily find anything else you’re looking for. If you just walk the streets of the smaller towns you’ll often find little stores selling these kinds of items so you might try doing that if you can’t get to a bigger city soon.

Depending where on the coast you live, I know a lot of people also shop in Portoviejo.
