Overall, a great place to stay. Located off the busy Calle Larga, you can easily walk to the beautiful historical center with plenty of good restaurants in between. The big mercado with fresh fruit and veggies is literally steps away and the supermarket is just a short taxi ride away. We always felt safe walking in this neighborhood, both day and night. The apartment is situated on the second floor with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that offer front row seats to the daily show of spectacular sunrises and sunsets and crazy cloud formations. The skies are simply gorgeous! The apartment is bright, spacious, and tastefully furnished. The showers have good water pressure with plenty of hot water. Wifi connection was basically good. (I can’t comment on the TV experience since we never used them). Since no place is ever perfect, I will offer suggestions for improvement. The kitchen is equipped with the bare minimum. Cooking large meals and entertaining guests would be difficult at best. The host may want to invest in a new set of pots, pans, baking dishes, silverware, and linens. The master bed is comfy, although on the firm side. The second bedroom mattress is hard as a rock and the third bed only slightly better,. However, that could be some people’s preference. Cuenca was quite chilly when we were there. Unfortunately, the apartment has only one small electric heater that we had to carry from room to room to stay warm. Having a small heater for each room would be a lot more comfortable. On our last day there we washed our laundry in preparation to pack, only to discover that although the dryer ran, it did not heat up enough to dry the clothes. In all fairness, the owner may be hearing this for the first time. Since we were scrambling to find a place to dry our clothes and catch our flight, we had no time to notify him. Thankfully it all worked out! All in all we enjoyed our stay and left behind fresh unopened grocery items for the next tenants to enjoy. With just a few fundamental improvements, this place would easily earn five stars!
