Perfect two-week stay
Pros:

Everything was wonderful. The location was absolutely perfect for us. In the two weeks we were there, we didn't need to get a taxi anywhere, apart from back to the airport at the end. And we could have walked there without the cases. The apartment was very comfortable and we had no complaints at all. Would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Everything was great.

This is the type of place that is hard to find unless you’re familiar with Cuenca.you are familiar with Cuenca. A diamon
Pros:

Amazing overlook onto the Tomebamba River. Quieter than normal for Cuenca due to the distance from the main thoroughfare. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Some difficulty dealing with the language barrier with staff. Also, Location is hard to explain to taxi drivers due to Cuenca’s dismissal of the address practices that we are used to in the USA. ¡Our booking taxi took us to the wrong place when we arrived!
