Our New Temporary Home in Cuenca

OK, the days are counting down.  We'll be living in a studio apartment for a month, right in the center of town.  Here are a couple pics of Cuenca from the rooftop patio.

Here's the write-up from the landlord: The apartment on Calle Larga is really convenient for a couple or a single person, as it is fully furnished and has all the utilities and items needed for comfortable living, so guests only need to buy their own food. It is very well located in the center of town, two blocks from the main square, but also very near to the new town where supermarkets, cinema, etc are at. The building also has an open terrace with a wonderful view of the river below, the new town on the other side, and mountains in the surroundings. 

From here you can easily walk to all restaurants, bars and cafes, galleries, shopping areas as well as enjoy the lovely walks along the Tomebamba river’s green path just down below from the apartments. The rental price includes: water, electricity, gas, broad band internet, cable TV, cleaning service, all appliances and cooking utensils (fridge, stove, microwave, coffee machine, small oven, cutlery, dishes...), bed linen, towels and cleaning items (toilet paper, hand soap, liquid soap for dishes and others handy cleaning items). Once a week we provide full cleaning service where we change sheets, blankets and towels and we also do laundry for one load of your clothes (no ironing). Internet signal and speed are very good, cabled to the apartments and wireless in some parts of the building like at the terrace, allowing you to skype and use all internet facilities. Also cable TV has channels in Spanish and English.

The monthly price is $390 for a couple or $360 for a single person. Renting for less than a month, is possible but will depend if premises are available. If you are interested, we will like to know the exact dates of your permanence and depending on availability, normally we will give you a formal confirmation up to 2 week prior to arrival with a deposit. For a long permanence (over 3 months) we could formally confirm up to a month in advance. Payment could be done via Pay Pal and must be done prior to arrival for formal confirmation.

Well, it certainly looks comfortable and convenient to el centro.  As I've said many times before, we're excited.
