Pros:

Very quirky, we liked the decor. It has basic cooking facilities (hob and microwave). Nice view over Cusco from the room, even better from the breakfast room. Carmen was lovely. Great location. On our last day the shower wasn't very hot, but otherwise always fine.

Cons:

There was some noise coming from the street in the evening, but it didn't bother us much. There's a hole in the floor just inside the front door which could do with filling - once we knew it was there it wasn't a problem, but at first we both almost rolled our ankles

Pros:

Absolutely loved our stay here, the apartment is well equipped and comfortable.
There is a table and chair as well as an armchair to relax in. The kitchen was well equipped. Great hot shower, too.
Carmen was absolutely lovely and breakfast (Even though we only got to enjoy it once due to early morning starts) was delicious with fresh juice and scrambled eggs.
The location was fantastic and the few stairs didn't bother us

Cons:

We were given a completely different room to the one we had booked which was frustrating when we arrived late and tired after 4-day trek and heard that the one we booked was taken.The room had no big windows with views which was the reason we had chosen the place, but instead it was quite dark, even during the day

Pros:

Carmen (the only staff we ever saw) was incredibly helpful, from suggestions on where to catch a collectivo to Pisac to helping one of our party during a “tummy trouble” day. She seems to be cook, cleaner and general MD and we became very fond of her during our 3-night stay. Great location in San Blas. The dining area is out of this world overlooking the city below and surrounding mountains. Sometimes we’d go up there after breakfast to to enjoy the view.

Pros:

Amazing little find in san blas, Cusco. We enjoyed the views across the city, the tasty breakfast and most of all the hosts. They were super friendly and accommodating. We had a small kitchenette which was easy to use and incredibly useful.

Cons:

The shower was a little tricky to use

Pas terrible sauf le service de Carmen et la localisation
Pros:

L’emplacement est top (si on est mobiles pcq la rue n’est pas accessible en voiture et au sein du logement même, il y a bcp d’escaliers). La rue est calme puisque le quartier San Blas est piétonnier.
La literie est confortable. Un radiateur électrique est présent dans la chambre et l’eau est généralement chaude avec un jet suffisant.
Le petit-déjeuner est composé de pains locaux, morceaux de bananes, d’ananas et de papaye, beurre et confiture maison + œufs + jus de fruits frais+thé /café. Pas de fromage ni de charcuterie. Si le petit-dej est assez complet, il n’est pas varié et on se lasse un peu lorsqu’on reste plusieurs nuits.

Carmen nettoie les chambres et fait les lits tous les jours. C’est appréciable. Les serviettes ne sont pas changées tous les jours. Vu l’humidité des pièces, elles restent donc humides d’un jour à l’autre. Ce qui n’est pas dramatique.

Carmen indique volontiers, en espagnol, comment se dérouiller pour des excursions.

Il est possible de laisser les bagages pendant 2-3 jours dans une pièce de stockage commune.

Cons:

Il a besoin d’un nettoyage en profondeur. Toiles d’araignée au plafond par ex, vitres et « châssis » piqués par l’humidité.
Un coup de frais serait aussi nécessaire: tout est vétuste (peinture écaillée qui s’effrite si un sac par exemple touche le mur).
Carmen, la gérante, fait de son mieux mais c’est une rénovation qui serait bienvenue pour que le logement retrouve son allure d’il y a qq années.
Comme quasi partout dans le Sud du Pérou, dans des prix similaires, l’insonorisation et l’isolation sont inexistantes. Nous avons eu 3 chambres différentes durant notre séjour. Elles étaient fort sombres toutes les 3. Le bâtiment étant en pierre, les ouvertures sont petites et les lampes assez économiques.
Évitez la chambre du rez-de-chaussée (Piscis) car elle est très humide et se réchauffe difficilement.
On a voyagé 3 semaines au Pérou en choisissant des logements cotés entre 8 et 9/10 sur Booking. Celui-ci nous a semblé bien en-dessous du 8/10 même si la localisation est très bonne.

Pros:

Lovely breakfast with fresh juice, fruit and eggs. Very accommodating and friendly host!

Cons:

Location was difficult to find, could have better sign writing, if you’re travellers like us and have big suitcases be prepared to carry them up many stairs. Shower was a bit difficult to use, a good to know also is that you must pay with cash, there is an ATM nearby.

Rustic apartment in an old building
Pros:

Close to the square. Bedding are clean .

Cons:

No sign of the House, we walk up and down stairs with our luggages to find the place . Facilities are old , too rustic need to repair . No boiled water for shower during our stay . Towels are old . No 24 hours front desk , no one will help if you got any emergency.
