Hi. My wife and I are retired and scouting out various locations for our winters. We're spending this fall in the Canary Islands. We plan on spending Jan & Feb in Ecuador. We haven't booked anything yet and would like some advice on the best way to go about it. Is Airbnb, VRBO and Flipkey a good place to look for short term rentals there or are there local booking agencies? Any words of wisdom/advice before we pull the trigger?

We used AirBnB and Hotels.com, for our month long 6 city visit but more savvy (and comfortable) travelers will book only for the 1st night in each location and find a local hostel for a lesser price.
Hostels in Ecuador can be very nice and family friendly.
