Acerca de este alojamiento

Casa Bella Mia. ¡Este acogedor y espacioso piso con exuberante jardín te espera!

¡Puedes disfrutar de El Centro y dormir bien en este piso! Ubicado a minutos del casco antiguo a través de un corto viaje en taxi (aproximadamente $ 2), o un viaje en autobús (25c), donde puede disfrutar de la arquitectura antigua, excelentes restaurantes y bares que se ofrecen en el centro. Después de la diversión, puedes volver a casa en un espacio seguro, tranquilo y relajante. No hay ruido de bar hasta las dos de la mañana, ¡solo una buena noche de sueño!
Su piso es la planta baja de un dúplex ecuatoriano ubicado en una pequeña Ciudadela a una cuadra de 7 kilómetros de pasarelas al lado del río Yanuncay. Hay tres habitaciones. El dormitorio principal tiene una cama ortopédica queen size con baño en suite. El segundo dormitorio tiene una cama queen size al lado del medio baño. El tercer dormitorio tiene una cama doble y está al lado del segundo baño completo (con ducha). Todas las camas tienen ropa de cama de algodón egipcio, edredones de plumas y muchas almohadas suaves para su comodidad.
Los baños tienen toallas de calidad, ducha de lluvia (baño principal) y alfombras suaves. Se proporcionan algunos elementos esenciales de baño y comodidades.
El piso da directamente a un exuberante jardín lleno de muchas variedades de flores y suculentas, sus propios aguacates y tilos. Si en temporada, eres bienvenido a la recompensa. Los pájaros cantores, los colibríes y las mariposas también hacen su hogar aquí.
La cocina no te decepcionará. ¡Es brillante y colorido! La iluminación debajo del gabinete proporciona mucha iluminación de tareas. Almacenamos lo básico y le damos los ingredientes para su primera taza de café o té para comenzar su mañana. El mercado de la esquina está a media cuadra de distancia. Ofrecemos una cafetera de acero inoxidable, café local, horno tostador, licuadora, platos artesanales, especias de calidad. Si cocinar no es lo tuyo, súbete a un taxi y llega al casco antiguo en 10 minutos ($ 2) para una variedad de opciones de desayuno.
Se puede organizar un conductor privado de habla inglesa para cualquier necesidad de transporte, y se pueden organizar servicios de limpieza para estancias más largas. A pedido, proporcionamos un teléfono celular con minutos y números preprogramados (solo paga por los minutos).

Mi esposo y yo estamos jubilados y vivimos en el piso de arriba. Su privacidad está garantizada, pero estamos disponibles según sea necesario. Cuando viajamos, nuestras expectativas de limpieza y comodidad son primordiales. Haremos todo lo posible para traducir nuestras expectativas en su estadía en Casa Bella Mia.

Para dueños de mascotas:
Como sabes, muchas unidades no permitirán mascotas. De hecho, hay razones para su política. ¡Aceptamos solo dueños responsables de mascotas y hasta dos perros entrenados! No podemos aceptar otras mascotas debido a problemas de alergia. Un patio trasero seguro y completamente cerrado está justo afuera de la puerta del patio para excursiones nocturnas y un parque, a una cuadra de distancia, para caminatas y carreras sin correa. Tenga en cuenta, al mirar otras propiedades, que Cuenca es una ciudad urbana con mucho concreto y muy poco espacio verde. ¡No permitimos que las mascotas se queden solas! Muchos perros ladrarán y subirán a los muebles cuando su dueño esté ausente. Puede hacer arreglos para que su mascota se quede con nosotros, por una pequeña tarifa; o proporcione su propia supervisión. Podemos proporcionarle una caja grande. (Se hacen excepciones para perros entrenados en jaulas que no ladran). Nuestros perros no son agresivos, pero nos aseguramos de que siempre estén supervisados cuando están en el patio u otras áreas comunes.

Cuenca es una ciudad encantadora y es un lugar divertido para explorar, ¡así que disfruta de todo lo que tiene para ofrecer!

Gem in suburban neighborhood

This is a spacious and beautiful property with a lovely, flower-filled backyard. Well stocked, with every amenity you could need. Rex and Cheryl, our hosts who live upstairs, are very friendly and helpful, from loaning us Rex’s bike for the day to taking me to the doctor’s when I had a bad fall. We also loved their dog Pip, very friendly, and well trained to not come into the house. Two things to be aware of if you choose this property. One is that it is pretty far from the action of the old town if you wanted to walk, at least 45 minutes. Taking cabs is by far the best way to go and you can get to the old town in 10 to 15 minutes for about 2 to 3 dollars each way. The closest restaurant is about a 10 minute walk away, although there are a couple of small Tiendas closer. The other thing is that if you are using all three bedrooms, the smallest front room has no storage or place to put things. If those two aspects are not an issue, I would highly recommend Rex and Cheryl’s beautiful home.

Casa Bella Mia

We had a great month stay at Rex and Cheryl's place. From the moment we walked inside, we felt at home! Their flat is clean, spacious, well furnished, and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the short walk to the river for picnics and afternoon walks. Easy access to the Tranvia for rides into town was convenient and fun! Rex, Cheryl, and their dog Pip were gracious and helpful hosts. We will be telling our family and friends about Casa Bella Mia.

Wonderful

Not only was the property itself roomy, clean, and very well-supplied, but the owners were exceedingly attentive and helpful in every way. They personally made my experience in Ecuador very special and very easy. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who doesn't want to be in the hub-bub of downtown.

This is a wonderful property, very well-equipped and clean. It is really an advantage to have the property owners upstairs. They helped me with endless things during my stay, showed me how to get around, introduced me to other people, and helped me with my Spanish. They also became my new friends.

Two Months In Cuenca, Ecuador

You cannot fly into Cuenca, Ecuador non-stop from another country. With that in mind, imagine you have spent many hours reaching Cuenca, plus a long taxi ride from the airport. At this point you may wonder if this will be worth the effort. For us, it was far more than merely worth the effort. My wife and I have lived in several apartments in at least four different countries during the past 10 years, and this is the best we have found. The host met us at the door and showed us a spotlessly clean apartment, fully furnished with all we needed for the next two months. They provided a book with maps and suggestions of places to go and things to do. The hosts (Rex and Cheryl) made themselves always available to us. The beds were very comfortable, exceeding our expectations, and we always slept well. Outside the kitchen door was a covered patio where we often had breakfast or dinner. The patio opened on a beautiful back yard with flowering plants on the walls, many different flowers, and a tree with a hummingbird feeder and filled with avocados. (Janet rates the avocados as “absolutely delicious.”) A block away is a walking trail along a beautiful river. The water is almost always perfectly clear and produces a soothing sound as it flows over the rocks. (There are three rivers in Cuenca and they join into one and flow to the Amazon). Park land was created on both sides of the river, and the park and trails extend for several miles. Eucalyptus trees (100 to 150 feet high) line the banks of the river and provide shade. Almost every day, we walked along the river. Several times, as we neared the end of our walk, we would stop and eat breakfast or lunch at La Yunta, a restaurant across the river from the apartment. The hosts were happy to provide information regarding the city including things to do, places to see, and wonderful restaurants. There is one more resident that must be mentioned. Her name is Pip. She is one of the most intelligent canines I have ever known. If you don’t like animals she will almost certainly leave you alone. But if you like dogs, as we do, she is absolutely delightful. She even seemed to learn our schedule. We usually sat on the patio with a glass of wine at 4 o’clock. Once when we were delayed, we found her at the back door looking very concerned that something might have happened to us. Lee and Janet

The best rental and the best hosts we've ever had! The property was amazing and just as described. Great location just a block away from a river to take a morning walk. The hosts were the nicest, most communicative hosts. They provided us with a 40+ page information packet, answered all our questions, and were always available when we needed them. Highly recommend!

Comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood

Almost wanted to call this place our own! The living space was very spacious and perfect for our needs. The yard was comforting and relaxing. Close to a Tranvia stop that'll take you to/from the airport and the downtown area. Rex was helpful and went over a few things with us when we arrived. Other than that, he gave us our privacy. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this home.

Impeccable experience in every way!

OMG did we love our stay! Beautiful, spacious, well-equipped and quiet (for Ecuador) apartment. The location was perfect for us, steps away from gorgeous, eucalyptus-scented river walks. Two blocks from scores of buses to everywhere (get the Moovit app!) and the fabulous new Tranvia Tram to downtown (or a cheap cab ride.). Rex and Cheryl are eager to assist with advice, fix-its and anything you require (like finding a bike rental place for us.) The outdoor space is gorgeous, Cheryl is an expert gardener and periodically surprised us with flower arrangements. We also made good use of the BBQ and worked remotely outside watching the hummingbirds. And of course we adored Pip, the rascally border collie mix, because she unequivocally adored us! This is basically the best place ever and we were sad to leave even after 3 months.

Casa Bella Mia

Casa Bella Mia was perfect for our stay, two couples, in Cuenca. Rex was incredibly easy to work with from the very beginning. He offered to help us find a driver. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. The washing machine and dryer are great. Lighting is excellent. The bed linens are the nicest we’ve had in a VRBO! And, the hair dryer is fabulous. The backyard is lovely and very peaceful. We even enjoyed avocados from their tree. The location is very convenient ; a short, inexpensive taxi ride to the center of town. Rex even provides little cards to help taxis find their way and he is also very willing to order a taxi for you. We were able to relax and watch a couple of movies on Netflix! What a treat after being out in the Galapagos. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Bella Mia and highly recommend it.

Cuenca in Comfort

Great property... very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the backyard for morning coffee and evening glass of wine. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed for cooking full meals. We also used the backyard grill a couple times. The house is located about 150 feet from a river in a safe neighborhood. The river has trails along both sides for walking or biking.... very beautiful in town river. We took taxis to downtown about a five minute ride, easy to do and very inexpensive $ 1.50 Enjoyed staying here a little way from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. Rex and Cheryl were super nice and very helpful. They have a fun little dog Pip, loved to go on long walks with us and loves treats. Almost kidnapped her and took her home with us, but we didn’t. Great place to stay , would recommend if you don’t want to be in noisy downtown, but with easy access to everything.

Garden Paradise in Cuenca

What an amazing experience. Our stay at Rex & Cheryl's home was the perfect place for us. Location is within 10-15 of everything in Cuenca. The home is nicely appointed with comfortable furnishing and a fantastic kitchen. There is a covered patio and a beautiful outdoor back garden that was ideal for our little dog. I judge short term rentals on a few specific criteria; Is it well located, is it comfortable (bed, living room, dining area, does the kitchen have what I need to cook all meals, fast wifi, and a quality shower. Well I have to say all boxes were checked. One highlight, the shower may be one of the top 10 I have ever experienced, all the hot water you want combined with outstanding pressure. That gets high marks from this traveler. Rex and Cheryl were wonderful host. They advised when we asked, they were always available and even helped locate goods and services. Rex was kind enough to go shopping for fishing equipment with me and showed us the ropes on the bus system. When it was time to go home and we needed a Vet to certify our dog was free from Screwworm he accompanied me to the Vet. What amazing service! If you are looking for a large and convenient rental in Cuenca this is the one to reserve. Thank you Rex & Cheryl for everything. Rich & Lyv

Perfect Place to enjoy Historical Cuenca near roads leading to Campo

This beautiful property in a safe, quiet area, provides a peaceful retreat from historical Cuenca's hustle and bustle. Our spacious first floor flat included a private entrance from Rex and Cheryl's two story home. It is well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen, bathrooms, and high tech GE washer and dryer. The decor is tranquil and relaxing, appreciated after activity filled days visiting iglesias and museos in Cuenca's historical district convenient by taxista. The built-in Spanish colonial style closets with mirrored, dressing table added to the elegant ambiance. Cheryl has cultivated a beautiful garden, great for relaxing in the back yard. An outer neighborhood of Cuenca, by the tree lined Rio Yancucay, blocks from the western perimeter of the Pan American highway, is convenient for trips into the Ecuadorian campo and Andina highlands. There is a nearby small tienda across from the winding river park where children and families play. Rex was accommodating in assisting us with our internet and Skype access and in answering questions about the many tv program options. Their manual on Cuenca's restaurants, highlights, getting around and much more was helpful. We felt quite at home there and were thankful for this rental option.

Relaxing home away from home

Bella Mia is a spacious, well equipped and tastefully decorated apartment. Rex and Cheryl are always available for any help or advice you may need. There is a beautiful private garden for relaxing. The location is quiet and a bit outside the center. It is very easy to walk or take a bus ($0.30) or cab ($2-3) to the old center of town. This location in particular and Cuenca in general feels very safe. Whether alone or with another woman I was never fearful. I hope to return here in the future and highly recommend you include Bella Mia in your plans.

Perfect lodging in Cuenca

Irritatingly, I already wrote a review and have no idea why it didn’t post. Hope this one does. Casa Bella Mia is a really fabulous place on a quiet street a block away from the wonderful path along the river. As we have a dog, we were delighted to be able to walk and enjoy the beauty of the river. The apartment is well-situated fairly close to the old town, and taxis are inexpensive and plentiful. You could walk if so inclined, and certainly bike there. I was more pleased by the proximity of the walking trails so taking a cab into town was preferable. Casa Bella Mia is comfortable and spacious with great beds, a fully stocked kitchen, and a beautiful garden to relax in. It was pretty chilly when we were there, but I still availed myself of the garden. Rex and Cheryl are great hosts and willing to answer questions and help with any needs. Another bonus is that it is quite easy to visit the national park from the apartment’s location. Cajas National Park is well worth considering if visiting Cuenca. We were traveling in an oversized van full of camping equipment, and it was wonderful to be able to park it behind the property’s gates rather than on the street. I highly recommend CasaBella Mia for anyone visiting Cuenca.

Only stayed 4 short days

We were two couples travelling through Ecuador for a month. After staying only a few nights at a time in hotels, it was a pleasure to be able to put down some roots, unpack and do some much need laundry - even if it was for only four nights. Communication with Rex and Cheryl was prompt, and Rex was on hand to guide our taxi to the Casa Bella Mia upon our arrival. The property was just as pictured and there was ample room for the four of us. On site, Rex provided an information book with all the necessary guidance to make our stay enjoyable and stress free . Although we had excursions planned for each of our four days, it was a pleasure to return to our home, grab a few beers, and just sit in the backyard enjoying the peace and quiet, and watch the hummingbirds stake out their territory. Rex and Cheryl genuinely enjoying opening their home to guests (they live on the second floor - however, are never intrusive), and are great hosts. The kitchen is well equipped and after eating hotel food, we enjoyed whipping up some tasty meals. The shelves are also well stocked with items previous guests left and Rex was kind enough to provide eggs and bottled water. We all agreed that Cuenca was our favourite city and we hope to return some day to explore it more fully.

Acerca de su propietario/a

Propietario/a: Cheryl or Rex

Imagen de perfil del propietario o de la propietaria
We retired from Colorado and moved to Cuenca over 9 years ago with our two dogs, Mia (our standard poodle) and Bella (our yellow lab). Both have left us, but we have been joined by Pip, a border collie mix who adopted us in our local park. We are still working on our Ecuador bucket list, the Galapagos is the next big checkoff. We love walking along the Yanuncay river (one block away) with the dogs, gardening in our beautiful back yard (everything grows here), binge watching Masterpiece Theatre, Netflix originals and sharing dinners with good friends at the great restaurants here in Cuenca.

We remodeled the ground level apartment in the duplex we rent for friends and family. We would very much like to include you in that group. We chose to live in our current location because it provides the proximity to the old town (El Centro, 10 minutes) with the quiet of a small Ecuadorian barrio (neighborhood), close to miles of parks.

As VRBO/Homeaway guests, we like to leave our lodging immaculate, so like good guests, we are welcome back. As hosts, we provide comfort in a home environment, help when requested and privacy for our guests. My husband lived in South America growing up and speaks Spanish, so we are able to assist you during your visit with us.

Por qué escogió este alojamiento

Our quiet neighborhood, a small Ciudadela, is almost exclusively Ecuadorian. It is off the beaten path, with very little traffic, but close to Avenida Las Americas and Primero de Mayo, major thoroughfares to get you around town. We are a 5 minute walk from Avenida Las Americas, which has buses ($.30) and tranvia ($1) that take you around the city . A ride to the steps leading up to the Old Town (El Centro) takes about 15-20 minutes. A taxi (we can call for you or you can flag one down), will take you to old town in about 10-15 minutes for $3.00 or less, depending on your destination. As is true in most cities, times dramatically increase during rush hours. Getting a taxi during rush hours and when raining can be challenging. With the new taxi app, Azutaxi you can have a taxi at your front door in 5 minutes. let us show you how.

Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial

We provide WIFI, a 42" Sony TV and Amazon 4K stick with VPN access for the greatest selection of Netflix and Amazon Prime movies and TV shows. You have unlimited access to a covered patio as well as a shared beautiful back yard for dogs and people, outdoor dining and a grill. In season, you are welcome to avocados from the tree out your back yard. You are one block from 7 kilometers of riverside walks.The apartment is located in a relatively quiet, almost exclusively Ecuadorian neighborhood.

Be aware that Ecuador in general is MUCH noisier than your home environment even in a quiet neighborhood. Car and house alarms, roosters who crow in the middle of the night, a cacophony of dogs barking, fireworks going off for some unknown holiday and the occasional late night party are all part of the ambiance of Ecuador. Asi es la vida en Ecuador

We look forward to hosting you and sharing our love for our adopted city of Cuenca. Please come and join us in our adventure.
