Condominio en alquiler con plazo de arrendamiento flexible 

Overview

This 2 bedroom / 2½ bath penthouse, located right in the heart of the historic city center, offers luxury living and stunning panoramic views.   Conveniently located on Calle Larga and perched atop the bank of the beautiful Tomebamba River, the apartment features breathtaking views of the city, the mountains, and the river, from the living area and balcony, as well as the private rooftop terrace.

Perfect Location

We are right on the heartbeat street of Cuenca’s El Centro Historic District – Calle Larga – and only four blocks from Parque Calderón, Cuenca’s main square.  It is an easy stroll to the city’s finest restaurants, galleries, markets, shops, museums, and the attractions that Cuenca is famous for.   Just a block away is the famous Mercado 10 de Agosto, filled with inexpensive fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish, with lots of mouthwatering food booths upstairs.

The apartment is also only a few minutes away from the El Vergel neighborhood where you’ll find SuperMaxi, a modern supermarket, two small malls, cinema, and the newly remodeled Parque de la Madre.  The large Mall del Río is a short taxi or bus ride away.

Exquisite Furnishings

This elegant penthouse is newly constructed and is fully furnished with modern furniture, high-speed fiber optic internet, and two TVs.   Excellent security with electronic key-card access to the main entrances.  This apartment is the entire top floor of the building, and is located far enough back from the street, so it is quiet, with minimal street noise.

Throughout the penthouse are beautiful marble floors and all marble/granite counter tops.  The apartment features top-down / bottom-up window shades in all rooms, including blackout shades in the bedrooms.

Both the living room and master bedroom feature large-screen 50” LED TVs.  The master bedroom has a king-size bed, while the second bedroom has a queen-size bed.  Both bedrooms have private en suite bathrooms, in addition to the guest bathroom.  

The kitchen is fully furnished with modern appliances, dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker, cookware, and tableware.  The laundry room has a full-size washer and dryer.  The apartment has an office area with amazing views of the city. 

An abundance of storage space, with closets all along the hallway, in addition to those in the bedrooms.  

Maid Service

We provide a complimentary weekly maid service, which is included in the rent.  

Cell Phone

We provide a Samsung Galaxy J1 smart phone for your use during your stay here.  

Electronic Safe

We have an electronic safe, which allows you to choose your own combination code to unlock the safe.  

Serene Environment

The apartment occupies the top floor (139 m²/1500 sq. ft.) of the building, and includes a private rooftop terrace (25 m²/270 sq. ft.).  The condominium has entrances from both Calle Larga, and from the lovely Río Tomebamba river walk below.  The condominium is divided into seven small buildings, and is filled with beautiful trees, gardens, and courtyards, to provide a pleasant and serene atmosphere, a rare find in historic El Centro.

There is a beautiful promenade along the riverbank, just outside the lower riverside entrance to the condominium.

Convenient Transportation

There are bus stops one block away in either direction from the apartment on Calle Larga.   Bus fare is only 25 cents.  There is a constant stream of taxis right outside the door.  This is one of the easiest places in the city to grab a taxi.   Taxi fares normally run from $1.50 - $3.00 to most locations.  The airport is just 15 minutes away, and $3.00 via taxi. 

There are two secure and inexpensive parking garages within a block of the condominium. 

Television and Internet

We provide high-speed internet service, and US-based live television programming.  Our television service provides 80+ channels with live programming in English.  We also provide a wealth of movies and television programs via Netflix.  These smart TV’s also offer other internet-based television and music, including YouTube, Pandora, and other services. 

Computer Monitor and Docking Station

You can plug your laptop into our docking station to give you access to our 27" computer monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and printer/scanner.   You can also access the printer/scanner using Wi-Fi.   

Welcome Guide

Our property manager will welcome you and provide you with all the information you need for a delightful visit.   In the office area, you will find a “Welcome Guide”, which provides information and recommendations for restaurants, and places to visit, as well as other useful information.  The “Welcome Guide” also includes instructions for operating the appliances.
