This apartment is adorable. Nice, very clean kitchen, adequately supplied with the essentials. Clean bathroom with shower stall and sink, plenty of hot water! Living room adorable, with cable tv. Bedroom is wonderful, with a skylight and a view of Cusco that is breathtaking! Small room outside the bathroom and living room with a wardrobe and additional linen and mattress. This small room also has an incredible view of Cusco! The street is typically quiet and residential.
The best part of this rental property, aside from everything I just mentioned, is the owner, Oda Seedhouse and her partner Armando. They are incredible hosts that go out of their way to accommodate even the smallest requests. They emulate hospitality in everything that they do. Oda responds to texts or messages within minutes and never leaves anything to the imagination. Always working to understand my needs, as one of her clients, is one of Oda's greatest qualities. In addition, Oda offers incredible value to her clients, in guided tours in and around Cusco, Machu Picchu, and all around Peru. She also does other international tours.
Oda is a professional through and through, but she also possesses the unique quality of compassion and empathy, that is one of the components of hospitality that I most appreciate.
In closing, I am grateful that I met and toured with Oda, during my stay in Cusco! She is very well connected in and around Cusco, Puno, Lake Titicaca, and well just about every part of Peru. If she doesn't know something, she knows someone who will know something about it! This can only come from decades of hard work in the field of tourism and hospitality, connecting with other professionals and creating a network of informed and caring professionals.
I will definitely meet Oda and Armando again.
Thank you both for an exceptional experience in Cusco!
