What you want to do is stay in the Yellow House in Mindo: Yellow House Trails & Lodge, Mindo, Ecuador.  Hacienda 'San Vicente'.  Garzon Jaramillo Family. ~ Lodge ~ Forest Trails ~ Birds ~ Tranquility ~ Quietness ~  Soft Nature Sounds 24/7 ~ Nature/Mountain views from every cabin window.

Ideally if you can afford it hire Julia as a day trip guide for the days you're there. She can also arrange transport to/from Quito for a modest price if you need that: Julia Patiño Birding Guide - Review of Mindo Bird Guide, Mindo, Ecuador - Tripadvisor

Anyone have a modestly(?) priced lodge to recommend in the cloud forest accessible from Quito? ... And/or any (other) suggested birding trips that work in few-day window from that city, other than the islands?
(The lodges I've seen so far are too expensive for me, especially on top of Galapagos trip, so this add-on trip leg has to be relatively "budget.")
