We stayed for 21 nights in June-July. It was wonderful. Nice, newly renovated, modern apartments. Marcela and Amelia were friendly, able to communicate in English (because my Spanish was lacking), always helpful, accommodating, and responsive to our requests. Marcela even helped me with my Spanish and was a great source of information for all things Cuenca. The apartment was fully furnished to include in-unit laundry. The bed was comfy and there was no shortage of hot water in the shower. The apartment is located on Rio Tomebamba, next to Puente Roto. The sound of the river made for a nice, calming atmosphere. Great location to be able to walk anywhere in the city. The Supermaxi and Mercado 10 de Agosto are a short walk for all your grocery needs. Excellent restaurants right on the same street. We really enjoyed our stay. I look forward to seeing Marcela again too. Whenever we travel to Cuenca, Santa Lucia Suites - Barranco will be our home.
