Riverfront condo - Amazing views in Cuenca's Historic District

Brand new in 2016! This fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath apartment in the heart of Cuenca's historic center, located conveniently on Calle Larga only 4 blocks from the Parque Calderon and both new and old cathedrals. We are only 100 feet from the Rio Tomebamba.

There are wide views of the National Park el Cajas, the mountains and we overlook the river. You can lie in your master bedroom in the evening, listen to the river, look out at the lights of Cuenca and church of Turi. Look up and watch the stars through the twin skylights.

The master bedroom has a walk in / walk through closet to the beautifully custom tiled shower. The master bedroom features a private balcony with a terrace garden, beautiful views of the city and el Cajas National Park.

The two guest bedrooms share a beautiful bathroom with shower. One bedroom doubles as an office with a comfy pull-down Murphy bed with a memory foam mattress. The apartment sleeps 6 - 2 queen-sized beds and one double bed.

The kitchen features full-sized fridge, heavy duty gas cooktop, gas oven, microwave and top-rated Cuisinart toaster over and Ninja blender. All dishes, silverware, knives, bowls, plates and everything you need to cook the fresh produce bought at the 10 de Agosto Market or Tia Market, just steps down the street.

Granite counter-tops, stainless steel sink and appliances. Radio to keep you entertained while washing the dishes with a window overlooking the orchid garden.

Dining area includes a table with places for 6 designed and built by Cuenca's top furniture maker, Luriq. Built-in banquette for potlucks and Nilson Rea designed wheeled, granite topped island for prep.

Saving the best for last: balconies overlooking the Rio Tomebamba are located on each floor. The bottom floor for when it's raining and the upper for private nighttime glass of Chilean wine and Ecuadorean chocolates. The washer dryer combo is located off the MBR balcony. Both balconies include lovely stainless steel, custom made planters. The bottom floor for herbs and the top floor with 3 small trees for screening the view from the adjacent penthouse.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of the helpful staff at this condo building. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Sombrero Museum. A gym and laundry facilities are available. The condo offers a kitchen and a washer/dryer.

This is a beautiful apartment in a wonderful location in the heart of Cuenca. This is the third time we have rented this space and highly recommend it. The manager, Cecilia, is a great person and easy to get in touch with. The apartment is lovely, clean, and walking distance to so many of our favorite places.

INCREDIBLE! There's not a better place to stay in the heart of Cuenca than this location. The host is absolutely amazing and prepared the most fabulous welcome for me. There was food, coffee, treats, fresh flowers and a person to meet me when I arrived. I've never had this happen before at any of the places I've stayed. The apartment overlooks the river, the city and the mountains. It's quiet, it's beautiful, it's comfortable it's heaven. There are a ton of good restaurants, bars, shopping, bakeries and food markets - everything is so close by. If you're looking for a place to stay in the center near the historic district don't miss this opportunity. I promise you you will not be disappointed. I truly hated to leave.

Five Stars

Cannot state how much we LOVED this place! If you are considering visiting Cuenca highly recommend this townhouse. It's in a great location, in an absolutely beautiful building and has such a stunning view from both balconies. The office manager, Cecilia, was wonderful and lovely. Without too much detail, our original 13 hour plane trip ended up in a 2 day scenario due to 1 leg of our journey being delayed. Which is to say when we finally got into Cuenca we were exhausted. Cecilia loaded the townhome up with fruit, eggs, bread, beer, wine -- everything we needed to not have to go out that evening. Wonderful. The place is fully equipped, nice washer/dryer, and we loved the biodegradable products (shamppo, conditioner, body soap, laundry products, dish/hand soap). Absolutely one of the best accomodations we've had.

Great place in a great location!!

The title says it all. Up on the cliff between the lower south side which is newer, wider streets and sidewalks and the historic district. Three blocks to the Central Park, a block to an incredible fresh food market. Close to pretty much everything. This was the third time we rented this apartment and we’ve already booked it for next winter.

Roomy modern condo with a convenient location

We had a wonderful stay for a month in Cuenca. The property manager, Cecelia, was very helpful, providing beautiful flowers, delicious chocolates, some refrigerator items, and a notebook with restaurant recommendations and reviews. This condo is in a prime location, within walking distance to so many restaurants, museums, and the historic town square. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and the beds were comfortable. From the master bedroom, we had a terrific view of the city and mountains. It was great to have enough space to entertain guests who came for a short visit.

An Oasis in Cuenca!

This apartment kicks butt! Beautifully furnished, sparkling clean, killer views. The attention to detail is what sets this place apart from any others I've rented. Terry, the host, was a pleasure to deal with and the on-site manager, Cecilia, greeted us with gifts: Ecuadorian coffee, fresh-baked bread, a dozen eggs and speciality chocolates to die for. AND two dozen red roses and gladiolas, too. Plus she was always available to answer our questions and offer suggestions about the area. Cecilia, you rock! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll want for cooking and entertaining. I especially appreciated the basics being supplied to get us started: paper products, dish soap, laundry detergent, olive oil, spices, and butter. There's even a lemon tree and little herb garden on the patio where a playful green hummingbird comes around every day. (I've named him Basil) :-) The king -size bed is super comfortable, the linens good quality, and the towels plush. The showers always had plenty of hot water and good pressure. Weekly cleaning service was provided, too. Oh, did I mention the awesome views from the living room and master bedroom? Well, you'll see! Just a block away is a huge mercado where we bought our fresh veggies and fruits and the Super Maxi Market is just a short taxi ride away. Very convenient. The Parque Calderon is an easy walk from the front door with plenty of restaurants and stores in between. We always felt safe in this neighborhood both day and night. Behind the apartment are steps leading down to the paved walking path along the Rio Tomebamba. A very pleasant walk with restaurants and museums lining the way. No place is ever perfect, but this one comes pretty darn close. In fact, I can't really think of a thing to improve upon. Grab this place if you can. Cuenca is a lovely city. Enjoy your stay!
