  My two daughters and I have just spent 6 days in Cusco. The appsrtment was excellent - with every amenity. It was very helpful to have the laundry facilities as we had been travelling for a few days before arriving in Cusco. It was close to the main Avenida El Sol and the Plaza de Armas. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone. It was great to have breakfast included and we enjoyed the delicious banana pancakes.

  The owner made everything very clear and simple and had transportation waiting for us at the airport upon our arrival, as well as on our return. The housekeeper was extremely friendly and had tea waiting for us on our first night. She also made us an amazing breakfast every morning on the rooftop terrace. The beds were extremely cozy and comfortable! We had a group of four and the apartment had plenty of space. It is also very close to the main square where we ended up at some point everyday. We made friends with another guest that was staying in the apartment below us and it was cool seeing her every morning at breakfast and sharing stories of our adventures the day before. The owner also arranged our Machu Picchu tickets and private tour and our transportation to and from, I highly recommend doing this as everything went flawless!

  This property is exactly as described - very clean and convenient and breakfast was provided every morning on the rooftop. The booking process was very easy, the owner replied email quickly and even phoned before our departure to double check all the details. We booked three tours - the city tour, moray/salineras, and the sacred valley. For all tours, we were picked up at the apartment and transported to the bus. All tours had an English speaking, knowledgeable guide and were very well arranged. Our favourites were the moray/salineras and sacred valley tours! With the apartment only 15-20 mins walk to the main plaza, it was very convenient to get around without taking taxis. The weather was mostly sunny and warm so we enjoyed walking to the craft market (5-10mins) and to the plaza de armas for some food or shopping. The apartment had everything we needed including a cell phone! We were able to leave our luggage at the apartment when we went to visit Machu Picchu for two days. The housekeeper was very accommodating even though we didn't speak any Spanish - what a lovely lady! The bedrooms are very bright in the morning - so bring eye covers! Although the water for the shower was a little lukewarm, adjusting the water volume made it hotter. There's no elevator, but after a day or so, the stairs were easy to get up. there was a strong police presence at every corner so we always felt safe. All in all, the hosts were very gracious and helpful, the apartment was very convenient and comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to cusco and Machu Picchu! Thank you so much for sharing your apartment with us and making our stay wonderful!

  We are a family, of four and this was our first trip to South America. We stayed here for a week in May 2012, and it was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this place as a home away from home, while exploring the Cusco/Machu Picchu area. We would definately stay here again. There is plenty to see & do in the Cusco area for a week, and this apartment made a good base for those activities. We did three Day tours (Cusco City tour, South Valley tour, Moray tour) and an overnight Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu tour, using this apartment as our home base. It was handy to leave our luggage here & just take an overnight/small daypack to Machu Picchu. This apartment, alone, met our needs perfectly. The warm, friendly service we received from each of the people involved, was a bonus. They made us feel especially at home and welcome. The owner is very easy to communicate with by phone & email. He provides a list of helpful information & can arrange tours for you if you wish. We already had our tours booked elsewhere, otherwise, we would have booked through the owner. This place is almost like staying in a bed and breakfast. You get the privacy of your own apartment, and in addition, have warm, friendly people to help you. We were met at the airport, driven to the apartment, and given a briefing on everything, including locations of grocery stores, good restaurants etc. Also, the authentic Peruvian breakfast each morning in the breakfast room, was a nice touch (loved the banana pancakes). We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom apartments in this five floor building (no elevator as far as I know). It met all of our expectations. It is perfectly clean (even the stairwells and terrace were imacculate), the photos are accurate, the kitchen is well equipped, bottled water is provided, the tv & wifi worked fine, cell phone is provided, the laundry room was really appreciated (5 week trip), grocery shopping is a short walk away, and we felt completely safe & secure staying here. The main square is about a 15-20 minute walk (not sure, as we kept stopping at markets etc.) or inexpensive taxi ride. This apartment was so much more than a vacation rental. We were treated like family, and this left us with warm spot in our hearts for Peru.

  owner was very friendly and approachable. he even called me to discuss details! he arranged all our tours and it was an excellent experience. owner even emailed a list of helpful items to bring to peru. i highly recommend the property and the tour. location of apartment was very good. i felt safe in the area. breakfast was included and it was delicious. apartment is very clean and new. he arranged private tour guides and transportation of several surrounding ruins and macchu picchu. price of this private tour was much more reasonable compared to local tour companies. overall, i would definitely stay at this property again.

  We stayed at this property for four days during Thanksgiving break. The staff is really friendly and helpful. They tried their best to accommodate our tour schedule, especially since my wife had the altitude sickness on our day of arrival. The place is very clean and in a safe neighborhood, and the walk to the city center is about 10-15 minutes. The private tour they helped organized is very good and reasonable price-wise. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends.

  My teenage daughter and I stayed here for a week, and were 100% happy with everything. We were met at the airport, and provided transportation to the hotel. Bottled water was waiting in the apartment, and we were served coca tea (for help with altitude) after we arrived. Our host had great suggestions for restaurants and local tours, and even loaned us a mobile phone for our stay. The apartment was clean, spacious, and well appointed, and it had everything we needed. We even shopped at a local market one day and cooked our own dinner easily in the kitchen. Breakfast was included, and was wonderful --- our hosts went out of their way providing a variety of authentic Peruvian foods. Coffee was superb, and the food was fresh, filling, and delicious. We loved the pancakes! The apartment was in a quiet neighborhood. We were able to buy water, juice, snacks, etc. at small, local stores within a minute's walk from the front door. The walk to the town center was 20-30 minutes, or an inexpensive taxi ride. We felt safe the entire time, but were careful to take taxis if we were out past 10pm. The washer/dryer on the top floor was very handy. I highly recommend this property as a base camp for anyone traveling in the Cusco area. I hope to return to Peru, and would definitely stay here again.

  I would not hesitate to recommend this place! We stayed at this apartment at the start of our trip to Peru and could not be happier. From the minute we arrived at the airport to being dropped off at the bus station at the end of our stay, everything was wonderful! The apt itself has everything you need, it has plenty of room and is kept very clean. Breakfast is included and Betty's special pancakes are delicious! They even offer tours and I would recommend upgrading to the private tours, for a few dollars more, it is well worth it. Our driver (Angel) and tour guide (Efraim) were excellent (very knowledgeable about the local area) and we saw alot more Inca ruins than we would have on a regular tour. We went on the 4 day Inca trail and were able to leave our big backpacks behind, well secured, which was a big help. They also have a washer and dryer which came in handy. Thank You, Jay, Miguel, Jerson and Betty for all your help, we had a fantastic time in your country and hope to come back again someday! Karen, Raul and Genevieve

  Four of us stayed here recently and really enjoyed having such a great home base. The only thing holding us back from 5 stars was it was a little out of the way but still really easy to get to by taxi or walking from the Plaza de Armas which was no big deal to us as we appreciate the neighborhoods more then the city center. Also, there was a hot water issue in the town and no one had hot water we were told. Jay was great to deal with and really helpful so was Miguel who was the representative who helped us while we were there. Jackie and the breakfast was great! We had Jay help us arrange tours and they were great. Overall it was a great experience.

  Ok, so amazing does not even do justice to describe the time we spent in Cusco and Machu Picchu! When we landed we were welcomed by our concierge (Thank you Miguel) who treated us like family the entire length of our stay. The apartment was well appointed, sparkling clean, fresh, and had all the amenities of home, 100% better than staying at a hotel. The nights get a little cool in Cusco and the heavy blankets were a much appreciated welcome. The apartment is located just a few blocks from the local market and about a 15 minute walk to the town center, the walk to both are very enjoyable, safe, scenic and an absolute must. Mingling with Betty and Jackie during breakfast (loved the banana pancakes) made us feel at home and more like family than tourists, we cannot say enough words of thank you to both of them for their tremendous hospitality and kindness. Our tour guides Salvador and Jerson were absolutely knowledgeable about the history of Cusco and surrounding archeological sites. We were overly impressed by their passion of Peruvian heritage and culture, and so grateful that they both took the time to answer all our questions during the tours. We opted to take the City Tour which gets you in to most of the Archeological sights around Cusco- we also went to see the salt mines of Mords which was pretty cool, ha, it’s not every day that you can taste fresh salt from where it’s actually mined! Another must is the Sacred Valley tour- this is truly God’s country were beauty abounds everywhere! If you plan to go to Manchu Picchu we recommend booking and organizing through Jay and the guides. Our entire trip was seamless and hassle free- thank you so much Jay and Dana for the recommendations, the hospitality, and for the new friends we made!
