A warm, welcoming and interesting family who helped make our stay in Cuenca so pleasant. Everything very comfortable and location was within walking distance of the beautiful city of Cuenca. We enjoyed our stay with this lovely family.
November 2014
Can't check the hearts rating because this web page is broken, but I enjoyed staying here. The family is fun and multi-lingual. The dogs are great. The location is perfect for taking the bus into the old town. The only issue I had was that the internet connection was only available a very small portion of the time (an hour or two a day, or, some days, not at all). This seems to have been an issue with the internet provider, as the house is in an area which has reported problems with internet connections. Lots of interesting restaurants within easy walking distance.
Great -- now the web site is forcing me to click on the hearts, but if I do, nothing happens.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
