We really enjoyed the location, cleanliness and amenities. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Three retired couples from Tennessee spent two weeks exploring Cuenca and surrounding locals, made especially enjoyable by the beautifully appointed, clean, comfortable and ideally located Parque Place Penthouse. Our hostess was especially easy to contact and was very attentive to making sure our stay was the best. Which it was. We highly recommend this property.

Excellent location near everything yet quiet inside. Beautiful apartment with everything you can possibly need. Super comfortable beds and furniture. Secure with a door man during the day.

Reason for visit wasn’t pleasure but for a funeral. The stay was very peaceful and enjoyable. One problem that occurred but was out the owners control was a building leak in one of the bedrooms. Having rained all day a leak started in a bedroom and bathroom, minor leak. Totally out of owners control and was a building issue. Property owners were very apologetic and offered to move us to a 5 star hotel not far from property. Four days into the stay we opted to stay at property the remaining 2 days left of our booking. One thing that could have been better was the emergency telephone contacts, no response until early that morning of the leak. Owners addressed, apologized for and I’m sure it’s been corrected since. All in all great place and good people to book your stay with in Cuenca. You won’t be disappointed with the views and the neighborhood itself. Enjoy your stay, we did!!

Adriana, was very accommodating. My travel plans changed many times due to the current events and she was wonderful to deal with. Great location and amenities. Highly recommended.

Adriana is a wonderful host. Communication was great and she ensured that check in and check out went smoothly. The property was beautiful, well appointed and equipped, very clean and comfortable. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and have learned that it is rare to enjoy such comfortable furniture and beds. We highly recommend this property.

Our family of five (3 mostly adult “children” and their parents) enjoyed our stay here immensely. The location is perfect and the apartment itself gracious and well-appointed. The host was extremely responsive and helpful, getting back to us nearly immediately with answers to minor questions. We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect. Of particular note (in addition to the three full bathrooms and great open kitchen) is the balcony, offering a delightful vista onto the city, day and night. Beautiful apartment centrally located.

Great decor, very upscale condo in the perfect location close to everything. Dustin and his wife welcomed us when we arrived. Everything was so luxurious yet so cozy to come back to each night. Next time we come to Ecuador we will stay here longer than the 4 wonderful days he had in Cuenca! The best memories of the trip were here at this beautiful place spent overlooking the historic district of Cuenca on the balcony. Thanks for everything. We were so pleased with our stay here.

Walk out your front door and choose between more than 20 good restaurants within 2 block radius. 4 blocks to main square, for best people-watching in town. Almost everything you want is in walking distance from this location, and taxis and busses abound just a block away if you really want to go further.

Nanci, the kind owner, was a huge help with extensive answers to any questions even before we arrived! The penthouse itself is wonderful - modern, clean and comfortable, beautifully furnished and provisioned, and very conveniently located. We loved the huge, covered porch where we read and enjoyed the refreshing and constant breeze of Cuenca. An abundance of restaurants, museums, plazas, and lovely urban and river walks were right outside our door! Because we were there at Christmas, we got to enjoy the local traditional parades all over town! And don’t miss the Amaru Zoo! Or Cajas National Park, where Angel (an excellent driver recommended by Nanci) took us one day for a great hike and fantastic scenery! There is no way our stay could have been more perfect!

Comfort: 5/5 - Plush, soft beds with every pillow type imaginable, crisp white towels in all bathrooms, warm fireplace when you need it, cool deck for fresh air with access from 3 different rooms. Amenities: 5/5 - FULLY stocked kitchen with every utensil and then more (very ‘lived’ in feeling) Don’t bring shower gear, every bathroom has Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash! Wood OR electric fireplace, lighted jacuzzi in master, TV’s in all rooms, Direct TV with PVR, DVD library with hundreds of titles, board games, chefs kitchen, ‘always on’ coffee maker, dimmer lights in every room, couch blankets, servings trays, luxurious duvets and soft sheets, breakfast bar or large dining room table, it just goes on and on. Pre-paid cell phone and Laptop for you to use during your stay. Location: 5/5 Within 20 steps out the front door you have multiple restaurants of every variety, shops, museums, churches, tour companies, parks, rivers and more. Within walking distance to a TIA Express for groceries (or a $1.30 cab ride to the SuperMaxi), walking distance to the New Cathedral, centro, fresh produce market, clothing markets, etc. No car needed, PERFECT walking distance for any travellers of any age. Internet: 5/5 In latin America, internet CAN be a problem, but we had no issue during our 2 week stay. Speed was good enough to stream a movie. Value: 5/5. Where else can you visit a historic posh city, stay in style right in the middle of all the action, and have every comfort of home? Probably nowhere. One of the more expensive rentals in Cuenca for a reason, the value cannot be beat. Host: 5/5. Not only was the owner very quick to respond, EXTREMELY organized and professional, but the Property Managers were as well. We were met ahead of schedule, given a complete tour of the home and shown how to use/access everything, and given a plethora of ways to contact anyone, should we need to. They checked on us mid way through the stay, and met us on time the morning of check out. The entire process was the most smooth we have ever experienced. Tips: - Leave blowdryers, shampoo, conditioner, laptop at home. - There is an elevator, but we did the stairs… WOW, they are a doozy, just an FYI. - On Fri/Sat there is a bit of ‘city’ noise (cars, people, etc) but not overwhelming, the other nights were silent. - We stayed under 2 weeks, the perfect amount of time in our opinion! Lots to see!

We stayed at this apartment for two nights on a whirlwind Ecuador trip. The finishes and furnishings are topnotch. The beds are comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was a nice plus. The location is great. There is street noise but the soundproofed windows kept it quiet inside. We would definitely stay here again...hopefully for longer, next time. I was surprised to find that the laundry facilities are on the roof, up one flight of stairs. We had to do our laundry the night before our departure, which meant multiple trips up and down in the dark. I had a small flashlight, which was helpful. The owner was very easy to deal with and returned our deposit promptly.

We have stayed twice at Parque Place Penthouse and will stay again if we get the opportunity. The owners are very responsive and they have a gem of a place in the historic heart of Cuenca. We recommend it most highly.

We live in Northern Ecuador and when our son and daughter-in-law came for a visit from the USA, we booked The Penthouse for 5 nights. It was the best decision we could have made. The location is so central you are near to everything and can watch the city from the balcony. The place is so well equipped it surprised us. Everything we needed (and then some) was there. It was both luxurious and practical with lots of space and also very quiet. The elevator wasn't working during our stay so the owner gave us a free night (we got lots of good exercise.) Nancy was so accommodating and helpful, and the temporary manager was there when we needed her. I can't recommend this place highly enough. We will definitely be back. It is truly a bargain for what is offered. Cuenca is a great city and this is the way to really enjoy it fully.

Extremely comfortable condo, very nicely decorated and fully stocked. Everyone was extremely helpful and the condo is in the perfect location. Can't wait to return!

We stayed for one week in this beautiful penthouse apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the home had everything we could need and more. Everyone we met, from the property manager to the security guard to the people who live in the city were wonderful, friendly and very helpful. The beds were comfortable and the amenities were top notch. Nancy and Jesse were great with answering any questions we had prior to our arrival and after arriving also. Even sending an email to make sure we had arrived safely and that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The on site property managers, Beverly and Michele, were super helpful and answered any questions we had quickly and also offered suggestions for restaurants and things to see and do while in Cuenca. The city itself is vibrant and clean and we felt very safe. The location is excellent for being able to walk to many of the local shops, bars, markets and restaurants. In short, should we visit Cuenca again we would be sure to choose this location. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

This condo is very well appointed and has very spacious bedrooms. The balcony is so lovely with incredible views in all directions. The hosts are very professional and well prepared with many tips and they are excellent at communicating with very quick responses to any queries. This is a wonderful location near the river, great restaurants and the old city centre. Highly recommended for a group of friends or family.

This is a beautiful place in a great location and the terrace adds a whole other amazing element. The mattresses and linens are high end. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is stocked with anything you need to cook or just hang out at. The Bunn coffee maker (with coffee included) started our day each morning. The fireplace is warm and inviting. We felt safe the whole time we were there. You are a few steps away from one of the main streets that offers restaurants and stores and markets AND the steps to go walk along the river (I cannot spell its name). In the other direction...you are only a few blocks from the main square where lots of action takes plus..plus, more restaurants and shops and churches, etc. We don't know how it could have been nicer.

This penthouse apartment is in perfect location in historic part of Cuenca. You can walk to everything - Caldron Square, restaurants, churches, museums and art galleries. Wonderful 300 degree views of Cuenca mountains, churches and rooftops from balcony - the perfect place for your morning coffee, afternoon drink and star gazing. Very modern apartment and very well decorated. A wonderful home away from home.

This was my first international travel experience. It was important for me to find lodging that was comfortable, safe, and convenient in Cuenca. This condo met and exceeded every expectation. First, it's beautiful. It looks exactly like the photos or better. The apartment provides 3 levels of security doors, and has live security during the day. Not that we ever felt endangered in any way while in Cuenca, but there was peace of mind knowing that when you were home, it couldn't get much more secure. There is an elevator that opens beside your door....which you will appreciate! The home is very well maintained, and don't underestimate the value of the sound proofing. Cuenca is a bustling city, but close all the doors to this unit and it amazingly quiet. I loved the high, long deck that can be accessed by the living room and 2 bedrooms. You won't believe the details here. Everything you could need from umbrellas, internet with great wifi and office with computer. Robes, movies, board games (that we actually played and enjoyed)...just everything you need to feel like you are in a home, not a hotel. The property manager is extremely accessible and helpful. The owner and property manager helped me plan everything from great drivers for longer trips, to detailed recommendations for restaurants and city activities. My security deposit was returned within a few days of check out, which was greatly appreciated. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Great location in town & plenty of space for a family or a friendly group. Owner has paid attention to all the details & local manager was great, shipping us items we had left behind. Only negative was parking for our car, but really only a minor inconvenience. Everything else was great & I recommend staying here. Cuenca's a great town to visit too!

Wow - everything was 5-star quality! An extremely well-equipped penthouse with everything that a visitor could want: - internet and wifi, and even a laptop to use - Direct TV with several English programs to watch - DVD library with many English movies and series - fully stocked kitchen - extremely comfortable beds and furnishings - washer and dryer access We also felt very safe in the condo complex, and in Cuenca. Safety in the complex should not be an issue to anyone visiting. This was somewhat of a concern based on articles that we read about Cuenca and El Centro. We walked everywhere, day and night, and as long as you keep to major streets like Calle Larga (which is only a few steps away), you're fine. Calle Larga has a small grocery store called Tia (5 minute walk) that was handy to pick up basic supplies. Right across the street from Tia is '10 de Agosto' which is a large local market. Even walking to SuperMaxi (down the steps near TodoSantos Restaurant and across the river) only took us 20 minutes. We walked everywhere. Cuenca is a gem, and so is this penthouse! Thanks, Joe and Pat

The penthouse was beautiful. Close to the center of the old part of town….the interesting part of Cuenca. Owners gone so property mgr. helped us. Would be good to initially show us how to use the cell phone they provide and how to watch movies in English. Through email and calls to the property mgr. we got it straightened out. Sometimes noisy at night from street gatherings. Bring ear plugs. The double pane windows help a lot. Overall a great experience.

Great location and the views are wonderful. The property is well maintained and the property manager was helpful and responsive. The decor is somewhat heavy and dark and has a dated feel to it. A little pricey compared to other apartments for rent. However, it did provide a base for a very enjoyable visit to Cuenca.
