Incredible stay

We stayed at Bruce's place for 6 weeks and it was just amazing. The apartment is impeccable, kitchen very well equipped, beds very comfortable, and the views are the best in Cuenca!! We have stayed in numerous rentals and this is one we would return to without hesitation. It is beautiful, comfortable, safe, everything you could hope for. I should mention i worked from the apartment on zoom calls to the US with no issues at all, the wifi is awesome.

Perfect Location and Accommodation

This is our fourth year to stay in this beautiful, modern penthouse overlooking Rio Tombebamba and entrance to the spectacular historic city of Cuenca. Within walking distance to numerous restaurants, markets, museums, art galleries and Spanish-style Squares. From both levels of the condo, you have a panoramic view of the Cajas Mountains surrounding Cuenca. This is truly the best “home-away-from-home” we have found in Cuenca. The owners are most accommodating and a delight to deal with.

Most beautiful home in Cuenca!

We loved our 3 week stay here! All of the amenities and touches went above what I would ever expect. From the vita-mix, to roku TV in each room, robes and slippers, wine and beer upon our arrival, and an extremely clean and tastefully decorated home we couldn't have asked for more. The view was gorgeous! I highly recommend this penthouse to anyone who wants luxury while visiting Cuenca. Great location along the river and convenient to everything you need in walking distance. If we're ever back, we will definitely try to stay here again!

Perfect Condo in Historic District of Cuenca

This is our 5th year to spend two months in Cuenca and it is the perfect home away from home. Out the front door is the historic city and numerous wonderful restaurants. Out the back door is the well groomed riverwalk along the Rio Tomebamba and you would never know you are in a city!! The condo is modern and beautifully decorated and with the rooftop, you have a 360 degree view of the Cajas Mountains. It’s a perfect place to spend time inside reading or outside exploring this World Heritage city. The landlord is most accommodating and a worry-free visit is guaranteed.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We have enjoyed having you as repeat customers for 7 years in a row. As you know, every year we try to make improvements to the condominium so that our guests have a better experience each time they return. This year we installed network cables inside the wall throughout the apartment, and upgraded the internet speed to 500 GBPS, the fastest speed they offer. We also replaced the toilets with remote-controlled smart bidet toilets, which feature rear wash, feminine front wash, oscillating massage wash, blow dry, heated seats, and automatic flush. We replaced all the ceiling lighting throughout the apartment for a nicer quality of light. Furthermore, we upgraded the showers. Have a safe trip home, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

This Penthouse is perfect in every way! It is in an ideal location with the historic city at your front door and the Rio Tomebamba walkway at your back door. This is a beautifully decorated modern apartment with panoramic mountain views from the living room and even better ones from the rooftop terrace! The best part is the accommodating landlord - receptive to all suggestions and honestly wants to ensure you enjoy your visit to Cuenca.

Amazing property right in town

This apartment is just amazing, great views, great space, every amenity included, fantastic location (literally in downtown), quiet yet in the midst of town, full of light on every room, very safe complex, all appliances in working condition, very clean, extra supplies for bedding and kitchen, close to a variety of shops and restaurants, right across a market, plenty of taxis to move around, the TV channel set up is great should you need to watch any. Cuenca is a walkers paradise, with miles of safe, well maintained trails/walkways and this complex follows this trend, there is no elevators but the stairs are nice, wide and safe. Again, the views from this place are breathtaking!!

Best vrbo we've ever rented!

From the well appointed kitchen (and spice cabinet!), to the comfy beds, to the great internet, to the unbelievable welcome packet, this is by far the best experience we have had with a vacation rental thus far. The owner clearly wants his renters to enjoy their home and really makes it feel like such. This is not one of those vrbo rentals that feels sparse and cold. It is well appointed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You couldn't ask for a better location either - easy walking access to everything. To top it off, the property manager, Cecilia, is a delight. She was attentive and helped us with everything we could imagine - from local doctors, favorite restaurants and things to do with kids. Would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in Cuenca.

Beautiful Gem

I recently stayed at this apartment during my trip to Cuenca, Ecuador, and it was absolutely perfect in every way. The location was ideal—just a short walk to the historic center, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quiet. The apartment was spotless, modern, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and a cozy living area.What really made the experience special was the host’s attention to detail and warm hospitality. They provided excellent local recommendations, were always available for questions, and made check-in a breeze. Waking up to the view of Cuenca’s rooftops and surrounding mountains was a daily highlight.I highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Cuenca—whether you’re there for a few days or a few weeks. It felt like a home away from home and added so much to my experience in this beautiful city.

EXCELLENT STAY!!! EXCELLENT PROPERTY!!!

The place is beautiful!! Close to restaurants, transportation and museums. Had breakfast several times on the balcony overlooking the river. We met the property manager, Cecilia, when we arrived. She gave us a tour of the property and how everything worked. The owner, Bruce, kept us informed of area events via email. Bruce provided a guest guide in the condo - it provide EVERYTHING. Instructions on how every item in the condo worked and what restaurants were open on Sunday/Monday. This made vacation planning so much easier. I can't say enough good things about this place. There was a care package of coffee, wine and snacks when we arrived. The whole place was spotless. I'm already planning my next trip and am hoping that Bruce's place is available.!!!!

Incredible Experience in Every Way

We received outstanding service and support from the moment we reserved the perfect property in Cuenca. The property is a true luxury in the oasis and in a perfect location near the river and within walking distance to all the major sites of Cuenca. Bruce is a hands on manager and owner who provided a modern, luxurious beautiful home for us to stay. We felt very lucky to be here because of the beautiful views and the modern conveniences that is supplied in the penthouse. Everything about the condo and his support greatly exceeded our expectations. We learned more about the city and the best restaurants to go because of his well-organized book and frequent emails or things to explore in Cuenca. I highly recommend booking this penthouse if you enjoy 5-Star luxury services and an immaculate place to enjoy your life. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.

The views over the Tomebamba River are outstanding, both from the living room and then from the upper deck. In fact, the upper patio gives you 360 degrees of the city of Cuenca. The apartment is right downtown, in the middle of everything, but very quiet. This is the perfect home away from home. All the comforts of home and then some. The apartment and the host are outstanding.A generous welcome basket greets you on arrival. The kitchen and the house in general have all the amenities you will need. Every detail has been thought of and attended to There is an extensive guide of museums, places of interest, restaurants. There are tram and bus tickets, a computer, a printer, TVs with so many channels. Talk about a generous and fair host. We unfortunately had a medical emergency and had to go home early. The host immediately offered a refund of all unused days. The host dealt with VRBO to get a refund for us. It took some persistence and several calls on his part to get it done, but he never quit until he had the whole matter resolved and we had the refund! I cannot imagine another host being as fair, beyond fair, and generous, with his refund policy and with his time. The host is attentive and 100 percent responsive. We’ll be back for sure.

Perfect place in Cuenca!

Looking for a place to stay for a week or 3 months, look no more. We stayed for 3 months and we look forward to coming back!! This apartment is in the perfect location to explore the old and new of Cuenca. Steps away from some of the most delicious restaurants and historic sights. After a day out you will step away from the hustle and bustle of the city into a serene and peaceful walkway filled with light fragrances of flowers as you make your way to your apartment. The apartment has all the modern amenities with plenty of space to relax. Head up to the private rooftop terrace with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise, or perhaps an evening beverage to enjoy the sunset. Or just take in the panoramic view of the city that is yours to enjoy. Take a leisurely walk along the river or sit on the balcony and watch the Hummingbirds, Cuenca has so much to offer and during your stay, Nogal is the ideal place to call home.
