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.

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.

Perfect home away in Cuenca
We loved staying here for the few weeks we were in Cuenca. It felt like home away from home. Perfect location to historic district but also a quick walk to the other side of the river with other supermarkets and restaurants. We can’t say enough good things about this place!

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.

Amazing place, location, & hospitality in the heart of Cuenca
This apartment is fantastic. The caretaker, Cecilia, was wonderful on our arrival, and she set us up with everything we needed. The place is spotless, modern, comfortable, well-equipped, and quiet! The location can't be beat--overlooking the River, but also with immediate access to the historic downtown.

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.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Cuenca is a great city with lots of things to do. We were warmly welcomed by the property manager when we arrived.

This is our 3rd stay at this wonderful condo. It is a great location, four blocks from main square plus it looks out over the river. It is a spot of tranquility with a very bustling city right outside the complex's entry door. It's comfortable, everything works. The building manager is very responsive to questions. Good info package. We've already booked for next year.

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!

Tied for first place based on 10 different homes in 10 countries
My wife and I spend two to three months each winter in a different city in a different country. We are retired in our early 70's and focus on one city per trip. We have learned by hard experience what is important in a multi-month stay. The first major element is the commitment of the landlord and support staff. Terry, Cecilia and Angelita are outstanding. Terry was always prompt in replying to our emails, Cecilia was always available to respond to our questions and help with problems, and Angelita could be counted upon to leave the space immaculate. The accommodations were first rate. We especially appreciated the kitchen as it was stocked with all the necessary tools which is not that common in our experience. The bedrooms upstairs had queen beds that were comfortable, both bathrooms had walk in showers, the master bedroom had a floor to ceiling window that looked out over the city and the Tomebamba River. There is a washer and dryer off the upstairs terrace. A washer/dryer are critical for a long term stay. Downstairs the living room furniture was some of the most conformable we have experienced with good lighting for reading. There is a floor to ceiling window that overlooks the city and the river. There is a very nice four place patio set on the downstairs terrace over looking the very well-groomed grounds. The apartment is very conveniently located. The Tia market is just up the street across from the very large covered local vendors market. The central plaza, Calderon Park is an easy 10 minute walk. Along the way you pass plaza San Francisco, the newly rejuvenated plaza, and the Plaza de las Flores, the flower market. Along Calle Larga and sides streets are numerous restaurants and cafes. All very convenient. The very large Supermaxi supermarket is an easy 15 walk, along the river and through the Parque de la Madre. If you decide to take a taxi to the most distant city venue, we never paid more than a $3 taxi fee. Other considerations: One enters on the street level, walks back past two interior gardens to the 16 steps up to the front door and main level of the apartment. It is another 16 steps up to the bedroom floor. There is a rear gate down at the river walk that is accessed by a set to steps and terraces. Although there is some city noise, it is not that big a deal. The jasmine vines around the grounds are very fragrant. Conclusion: Tied for first place based on 10 different homes in 10 cities around the world
