The STUDIO DELUXE is located in the famous colonial quarter of San Blas in the historical centre of Cusco. The presence in the apartment of original Inca walls (living room and bedroom) from the early period (XIII century), the quality of the design and its details put the apartment in a superior category Perfect place for couples, families (possibility of extra bed) and business travellers The historical background of the Studio is picked up on with the presence of an Inca Wall, out of which juts a large, square stone in the shape of a nostril. The original function of the stone remains unknown to date. The arch shaped architecture of the Studio shows sloping edges and rounded pillars. The wide marble worktops in the kitchen make preparing meals easy and next there is the large table. The bed is a comfortable Queen size (super-orthopaedic quality with Memory Foam pillows). In the bathroom, in the middle of the room and under a half dome, is a bathtub and there is also a separate shower. To understand the quality of the place, we recommend looking at the photos ... here we can complete a few points: HEATING: it is a very important point because in Cusco the cold can be strong. The apartment has an efficient heating system that allows to have an ideal temperature. WATER: this is another very sensitive point in Cusco because the distribution of water in the city is intermittent: the property has a water storage system (and pressure control), so always has water in the apartment and with due pressure. A water-heater is responsible for heating the water, so both in the bathroom and in the kitchen there is hot water. WI-FI: available and included in the rate CLEANING: we deliver the apartment cleaned. If you stay more days and want to have an extra cleaning of the apartment, just ask and schedule the extra cleaning with the person in charge. Extra cleaning costs US $ 15.00 and includes the change of sheets and towels. KITCHEN: the kitchen is complete with everything: 4-burner stove for cooking, refrigerator, microwave oven, blender, coffee maker, toaster and a set of pots and utensils that allow you to cook whatever you want. BED: we took seriously in consideration the quality of the sleep. The mattress is a Queen size super-orthopaedic and the pillows are Memory Foam quality. AND... sheets and towels are part of the normal equipment of the apartment. Since the apartment has already a heating system working (included in the rate), the wood for the fireplace is charged as an extra service. IMPORTANT: Our Studio Deluxe is located in a quiet pedestrian street that enjoys a special tranquillity to our place. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW that our building is not reachable by car and that is necessary to walk a flight of stairs before getting to the place. We ask to the people that can see this point as a problem to take it into consideration and contact us if they want more information about this aspect. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TRANSFERS: if you like to have a driver waiting for you at the airport to reach immediately our apartment we have trusted drivers that know our place (service not included in the rate). LAUNDRY: a laundry service with pickup and delivery in your apartment is also available (service not included in the rate) TRAVEL AGENCY: If you require any assistance in putting together a personalized itinerary please do not hesitate to contact us.

Comparative to the historical centre that borders it, San Blas is on a hill, which offers gorgeous views over the ancient Inca capital. It unfolds around a beautiful colonial church, whose renowned pulpit, made of hand-carved cedar wood, is regarded as one of Peru’s most important works of artistic carpentry, if not of the entire continent. San Blas is the craftsman and artistic quarter in which you can find exhibitions by young talent, who exist next to the big names that are locally famous. In the surrounding area you can find a large number of hotels and hostels as well as restaurants, cafés and pubs, and in such density that San Blas has been able to develop its own nightlife. The quarter preserves the warmth of the narrow, cobbled lanes, the houses roofed with typical stones from Cusco and their antique gates, Spanish atriums and pretty balconies.
