Description from owner

Description

You'll want for nothing in our luxurious penthouse in the heart of centro historico! This fully remodeled three bedroom, three bathroom apartment features the best in location, luxury and livability. You'll be on top of the world in this 5th floor penthouse which features unobstructed city and mountain views from the huge terrace as well as direct elevator access. Be in the heart of the action, without the noise, thanks to our commercial-grade acoustic-control windows! The dual master bedrooms include the highest quality king beds with fine linens, 32" LED televisions, a jacuzzi tub for 2. The third bedroom features 2 luxuriously appointed twin pillow tops and a desk. The living area has a 42" plasma TV with Direct TV, Blu-Ray and large DVD library. The apartment includes every convenience such as paper towels, a toaster, filtered water and shampoo, as well as luxuries like blowdryers, robes, a dishwasher.

Location. There is no better location in Cuenca! We are on Luis Cordero, the same street as the main central plaza Parque Calderon, just 2 blocks from the plaza between it and the Tomebamba river. Watch parades or fireworks right from the huge terrace! We are surrounded by the best restaurants in town, open air markets, churches, plazas, bars, cafes and theaters. You can walk from this central location to pretty much anywhere you may want to go, without climbing stairs. If you want to leave the historic center or river area, taxis are readily available on our street and bus stops are nearby.

Luxury. Enjoy all the comforts of home and more in our finely appointed home. One master suite has views and terrace access, with a modern bathroom plus a jacuzzi tub for 2 in a rock walled alcove and a large flat-screen TV. The other master suite has charming colonial decor with a huge rock and granite wood-burning fireplace and bathroom with dual sinks. Both master suites feature king sized beds of the highest quality and comfort available, featuring a full 4 inches of memory foam pillowtop on a supportive orthopedic core. They also include private bathrooms with showers, bathrobes, bowl sinks and granite. The third bedroom is rustic with two comfortable twin beds, views and terrace access. All beds feature a choice between 500 thread count cotton or warmer microfleece linens, as well as fluffy down or down alternative comforters with duvets and blankets. All three bedrooms and the living room feature vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams. The social bathroom has a glass block shower, toilet, sink with granite and even a urinal. The gourmet kitchen features granite, a dishwasher, 6 burner stove and oven, microwave and large fridge with filtered water and ice in the door. The Living room has a soft comfortable sectional and a 42" LG plasma TV with a huge video library and direct TV. The entire apartment includes a terrace with unobstructed 5th floor views over centro, including a breakfast bar overlooking the new cathedral.

Livability. Our home is cleaned to a strict standard between each set of visitors, and cleaned and stocked according to a checklist, so that you can rest assured that you'll have a wonderful stay free of the common pitfalls of stays in a foreign country. The kitchen is equipped with all of the dinnerware, cookware, silverware and barware you will need, plus small and large appliances. We provide paper towels, sugar, salt, pepper, coffee and tea. The towels are plush and plentiful and we provide thick toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap and blow dryers in each of the three bathrooms. We provide 2 huge flat-screen televisions, one smaller flat-screen TV, all with direct TV, a huge video library, and high-speed wireless internet. The building has an elevator straight to our door that only services 3 apartments, so you won't have to climb any stairs like in most centro homes, or even wait for a busy elevator like in a high rise. The building is very secure with a friendly guard from morning to night. When the guard isn't there, you are behind 3 locked metal doors. The apartment is quiet as it is 5 stories up, with dual-paned glass throughout and no walls are shared with any neighbors. There are just 2 other residences, and the rest of the building is occupied by offices, mostly law offices. If you have a rental car, there is a parking lot next door. For your comfort, all rooms have black-out curtains, there are portable heaters, an electric fireplace, a double electric blanket, and extra pillows and blankets, and unlimited hot water. There is a full-sized washer with hot water and gas dryer for your use. We use only hypo-allergenic fragrance-free detergents.
