This well appointed condo is in the ideal location in Cuenca. Out the front door you are in the beautiful historic district of Cuenca and out the back door, down the stairs and you are on the Rio Tomebamba walking path so start exploring! The modern condo is beautifully decorated and the rooftop provides 360 degree view of the Cajas Mountains. The landlord is extremely responsive and more than willing to please. This is our 7th year to rent here and that says it all! We highly recommend this condo as a vacation home!

Looking for a place to stay for a week or 3 months, look no more. We stayed for 3 months and we look forward to coming back!! This apartment is in the perfect location to explore the old and new of Cuenca. Steps away from some of the most delicious restaurants and historic sights. After a day out you will step away from the hustle and bustle of the city into a serene and peaceful walkway filled with light fragrances of flowers as you make your way to your apartment. The apartment has all the modern amenities with plenty of space to relax. Head up to the private rooftop terrace with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise, or perhaps an evening beverage to enjoy the sunset. Or just take in the panoramic view of the city that is yours to enjoy. Take a leisurely walk along the river or sit on the balcony and watch the Hummingbirds, Cuenca has so much to offer and during your stay, Nogal is the ideal place to call home.

This experience started before our arrival, setting the tone for our 5 star experience. The communication, house guide, and detail prior to arrival from Bruce was appreciated. Cecelia greeted us on arrival and showed us around the home, having her near provides peace of mind for our stay. The views and location are perfect, we can’t wait to enjoy this property on a return trip. The stay included unexpected cleaning service for our length, a luxury. The details of fine quality bedding, towels, robes and mattress, provided the best sleep and comfort. Arrival is well thought, including flowers, wine, and chocolate. We were in a safe environment, within a beautiful complex, walkable to all sites, restaurants, and shopping. Thank you for the wonderful stay. We love Cuenca.

This is our 5th year to spend two months in Cuenca and it is the perfect home away from home. Out the front door is the historic city and numerous wonderful restaurants. Out the back door is the well groomed riverwalk along the Rio Tomebamba and you would never know you are in a city!! The condo is modern and beautifully decorated and with the rooftop, you have a 360 degree view of the Cajas Mountains. It’s a perfect place to spend time inside reading or outside exploring this World Heritage city. The landlord is most accommodating and a worry-free visit is guaranteed.

Love the Condo, awesome outdoor space and location.

This is an excellent choice for your stay in Cuenca. The apartment is very close to the main tourist spots, while at the same time, mixed into a neighborhood where you will definitely feel like a local! Walk two blocks to the 10 de Agosto market for fresh produce, meats and fish. The local area is full of wonderful restaurants.....we stayed for a month and ate somewhere different almost every evening. There is a very secure entry into the apartment building and we felt safe at all times. Taxis are readily available and inexpensive....right out the front door. The apartment itself is bright, cheerful and clean. There is a kitchen with basic necessities if you feel like cooking, and a Super-Maxi Supermarket about 10 minutes away by foot. The apartment is well furnished and comfortable. An added bonus is the home office setup. There Is a separate office space equipped with wifi and a printer.....everything you would need if you would like to work remotely. The views from the two separate patios are exceptional! You are right above the Tomembamba River, with a nice walking path alongside it. The only caution I have is getting back up to the apartment from the river is a fairly steep walk, so if elevations are a problem for you, you would probably need to take a cab "up the hill" . (Around $1.50 cab fare.) The owner is very well organized and communicates very well from the moment you enquire about the property until you depart. He has an extremely detailed book if information regarding how everything works at the apartment. Also descriptions and recommendations of restaurants, museums, etc in Cuenca that really make things easy fir his guests. My husband and I highly recommend this apartment!

We stayed at Bruce's place for 6 weeks and it was just amazing. The apartment is impeccable, kitchen very well equipped, beds very comfortable, and the views are the best in Cuenca!! We have stayed in numerous rentals and this is one we would return to without hesitation. It is beautiful, comfortable, safe, everything you could hope for. I should mention i worked from the apartment on zoom calls to the US with no issues at all, the wifi is awesome.

Best place in Cuenca

Well before we arrived Bruce (host) was informative and attentive. It was a totally seamless check in with Cecilia (manager). We were greeted with food, flowers, wine and kindness. The apartment is tastefully furnished, complete with everything you might possibly need. The beds are comfortable, the showers are roomy and the view of Cuenca spectacular. It was quiet and restful both day and night. The location is ideal for exploring El Centro or walking along Tomebamba River. Cecilia responded to us immediately. Bruce checked in via email several times. It is truly the best short term rental we have ever enjoyed. We absolutely recommend this property.
