The apartment is accessible only by stairs, and is on the 5th floor. The building is located in a bustling neigborhood with plenty of stores and markets, as well as easy access to various forms of transportation. The Centro Historica begins 4 blocks down, and it is a lively, flat 20 minute walk to the Main Square (Parque Calderon). The Historic Cemetery is across the street and provides multiple city blocks free from cars and full of trees and walkways. We offer a warm personal welcome and can help our guests move their luggage in and out. We can answer our guests' questions about their stay in Cuenca and in Ecuador and can connect them with various tourist and educational resources around the city. Our neighborhood is a bustling working community. Many residents own their own business, which they operate out of the first floor of their homes or buildings. Our neighborhood is also home to one of the most beautiful traditional markets in Cuenca, Mercado 12 de Abril, as well as numerous shops, grocery stores, and bakeries. The building overlooks the historic city cemetery, which goes on for many city blocks and is full of trees and car-free walkways. Day or night, you can buy cut flowers in the many stands that decorate our sidewalks. The neighborhood has very few foreign residents and is not tourism-oriented, so it is a perfect place to immerse yourself in Ecuadorian cultures and practice Spanish. To reach Parque Calderon (the main plaza of Cuenca): by vehicle, in less than 10 minutes; and by walking, an entertaining and lively 20 minutes through the historic center. Many bus lines (3, 5 and 50) have stops near our building, and hailing a taxi is quite easy from our doorstep. Here is a helpful link to see the bus routes. Two bicycles are available to rent for a small fee, and are conveniently stored at street level for easy use and access.
