Om boendet

Casa Bella Mia. Denna inbjudande, rymliga lägenhet med frodig trädgård väntar på dig!

Du kan njuta av El Centro och få en god natts sömn i denna lägenhet! Beläget några minuter från Gamla stan via en kort taxiresa (ungefär $ 2), eller en bussresa (25c), där du kan njuta av gammal arkitektur, bra matsal och barer som erbjuds i centrum. Efter kulan kan du komma hem till ett säkert, lugnt och avkopplande utrymme. Inget högt barljud förrän två på morgonen här, bara en god natts sömn!
Din lägenhet är bottenvåningen i en ecuadoriansk duplex belägen i ett litet Ciudadela ett kvarter från 7 kilometer gångvägar bredvid floden Yanuncay. Det finns tre sovrum. Det stora sovrummet har en queen-size ortopedisk säng med eget badrum. Det andra sovrummet har en dubbelsäng bredvid halvbadet. Det tredje sovrummet har en dubbelsäng och ligger bredvid det andra badrummet (med dusch). Alla sängar har sängkläder i egyptisk bomull, duntäcken och massor av mjuka kuddar för din komfort.
Badrummen har kvalitetshanddukar, regnduschhuvud (masterbad) och mjuka mattor. Vissa badprodukter och bekvämligheter tillhandahålls.
Lägenheten ser direkt ut till en frodig trädgård fylld med många sorter av blommor och suckulenter, din egen avokado och lindträd. Om säsongen är du välkommen till priset. Sångfåglar, kolibrier och fjärilar gör sitt hem också här.
Köket kommer inte att svika. Den är ljus och färgglad! Belysning under skåpet ger gott om belysning av uppgifter. Vi lagerför grunderna och ger dig tillbehör till din första kopp kaffe eller te för att få din morgon igång. Hörnmarknaden är ett halvt kvarter bort. Vi tillhandahåller en kaffekanna i rostfritt stål, lokalt kaffe, brödrost, blandare, hantverksdiskar, kvalitets kryddor. Om matlagning inte är din sak, hoppa i en hytt och vara i gamla stan på 10 minuter ($ 2) för en mängd olika frukostalternativ.
En privat engelsktalande förare kan ordnas för alla transportbehov, och städtjänster kan ordnas för längre vistelser. På begäran tillhandahåller vi en mobiltelefon med minuter och förprogrammerade nummer (du betalar bara för minuter).

Min man och jag är pensionerade och bor i övervåningen. Din integritet garanteras, men vi är tillgängliga efter behov. När vi reser är våra förväntningar på renlighet och komfort viktigast. Vi kommer att göra vårt bästa för att översätta våra förväntningar till din vistelse på Casa Bella Mia.

För husdjursägare:
Som ni vet kommer många enheter inte att tillåta husdjur. Det finns verkligen skäl för deras politik. Vi accepterar endast ansvariga husdjursägare och upp till två tränade hundar! Vi kan inte ta emot andra husdjur på grund av allergiproblem. En säker, helt innesluten trädgård ligger precis utanför altandörren för nattutflykter och en park, ett kvarter bort, för promenader och utanför koppelbanor. Tänk på att när du tittar på andra fastigheter är Cuenca en urban stad med mycket betong och mycket lite grönytor. Vi tillåter inte att husdjur får lämnas i fred! Många hundar kommer att skälla och komma på möblerna när deras ägare är frånvarande. Du kan ordna att ditt husdjur stannar hos oss mot en liten avgift; eller ge din egen övervakning. Vi kan ge dig en stor låda. (Undantag görs för tränade hundar som inte skäller). Våra hundar är inte aggressiva men vi ser till att de alltid övervakas när de är på gården eller andra gemensamma områden.

Cuenca är en härlig stad och det är en rolig plats att utforska, så njut av allt det har att erbjuda!

Exceptional hosts, comfortable space, wonderful proximity to nature

Our stay was made more comfortable and enjoyable by hosts Cheryl and Rex who went above and beyond helping us get taxi rides, organizing a driver to the national park, and informing us about free concerts and the best places to eat. We loved the beautiful, quiet garden, walking and biking the path beside beautiful River Yanukai, and the accessibility to the grocery store and the old city. From the well stocked kitchen to Cheryl and Alex’s hospitality, this spot enabled us to get the most out of Cuenca.

Great Place to Stay

We loved this place in Cuenca. This property is loaded with every convenience. They even stocked our fridge with milk and eggs to start us out. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The hosts are friendly and helpful and still very respectful of your privacy. It's a place we would come back to for sure if we come to Cuenca again.

Muy Bien!

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.

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.

The apartment is large, nicely decorated and equipped, and garden beautiful!

Hosts Rex and Cheryl “bent over backwards” to do anything to help us during our stay. My suitcase had been stolen before Cuenca and Cheryl had a closet of clothes out for me to wear! Rex took us to a clinic and stayed for hours when we needed him! Their role as hosts is really that of friends. It is easy to get everywhere and we hated to leave!! The apartment is an oasis of calm and beauty. Very highly recommended. Marg and Brian, Canada I

Delightful hosts, Spacious apartment

We stayed at Casa Bella Mia for 3 nights during the 2015 XMAS holiday. Cheryl and Rex were superb hosts. The fact that they live upstairs and are available to answer questions, print maps, offer site seeing tips, etc. is a plus for travelers. The property's size and location is excellent. All amenities (including Netflix for some binge watching) were perfect. The only drawback we found was the barking dogs around the neighborhood. Rex and Cheryl's dogs are wonderful. If only the rest of the neighbors were half as considerate. Nonetheless, you won't be disappointed with Casa Bella Mia.

Cute, comfortable and quiet!

After a busy and noisy 9 days in Quito, this was just what we needed to relax and enjoy the slower pace of Cuenca. The apartment was exactly as described on VRBO and was perfect for our family of 5 (4 adults and 1 child). We had all the comforts and conveniences of home, plus a lovely garden in the back to kick back and enjoy the sunshine and a the birds. Rex and Cheryl were great hosts and were most helpful with recommending places to see, restaurant suggestions and transportation needs. The apartment is in a safe and clean neighborhood and only a block from a the river and a wonderful play park for kids to enjoy. Thank you again Rex and Cheryl for sharing your beautiful home!! We'll be back!

"My Beautiful Home"; the name says it all!

Our family of five stayed here for several days at the end of a two week tour of Ecuador. It was like coming home. Everything about this apartment was comfortable and convenient! It was very spacious, and the beds and linens were so comfortable! The kitchen was extremely well equipped, lacking nothing. The beautiful back yard was a welcome respite after long days of touring the city and the surrounding area. We were able to have our coffee in the morning among greenery and flowers and to unwind in the evening watching the hummingbirds. The owners, Rex an Cheryl, were very gracious and helpful hosts, providing all the information we needed to make the most of our stay. When our flight was delayed for several hours, they allowed us to 'hang out' at the apartment and then arranged comfortable and very affordable transportation to the airport in Guayaquil. I would unreservedly recommend this beautiful apartment for your next stay in Cuenca!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Cuenca home away from home

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The owners are extremely knowledgable about the area and are more than willing to assist with anything needed. The property is beautiful and is pet friendly with a fenced yard. I have felt safe here, and and very happy I was able to stay here to start my life in Ecuador. I would highly recommend this home to anyone coming to visit Cuenca!

Om värden

Cheryl or Rex är värd

Värdens profilbild
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.

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.

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.
