The studio includes a queen-sized bed, two side tables with reading lamps, a desk with book shelves, sofa bed that could accommodate a third guest, ample closet space, reading lamps, a modern bathroom, and a fully-equipped kitchen. Recessed lighting and adobe style make the space both functional and pleasing. Ceilings have exposed beams and floors are artisan brick, made by Cuenca craftsmen.
Three features make Pumamaqui Accommodations extraordinary: A beautifully reconstituted building with all new amenities; the central courtyard that feels like a sanctuary in the bustle of the city; and proximity to all that that the two Cuencas--historic and modern--have to offer.

Summary: We always enjoy staying at Stuart’s property. It is unassumingly tucked away within easy walking distance of El Centro and the river. You open a plain looking door on the street front to reveal a peaceful courtyard setting. I can’t think of a more perfect spot for a central location from which to explore Cuenca. He and his wife are excellent accommodating hosts. We have visited Ecuador four times over the last ten years and always arrange a stay at Stuart’s. We know we will have a pleasant time there.

Summary: We loved our stay here! Very comfortable and spotless. Communication was excellent and Stewart and Patricia are absolutely lovely people. Walking distance to almost everything (historical district, museums) and many great cafes and restaurants right out the door! A french bakery on one side, a beautiful fair trade store on the other and abundant hummingbirds in the garden. Hard to leave.

Summary: My wife and I stayed here. The location was just as advertised, downtown Cuenca, closed to all the wonderful Museums, restaurants, shopping. The apartment was nicely decorated, kitchen well organized. It is important for us to have a nice bathroom and shower. This place fulfilled our expectations. We will certainly stayed here in the future. We enjoyed meeting Stuart and Patricia, our hosts.

Summary: We enjoyed our 3 week stay in Cuenca and with our beautiful lodging. Stuart & Patricia were great hosts and were easy to get in touch with. The location is perfect for being able to walk explore the downtown area/center of Cuenca and within walking distance of many so many great restaurants, shops, banks, grocery stores, etc. There is Lucienne's French bakery next door and on the other side is Patricia's store with amazing items made from their alpaca animals and other artisan made artwork and textiles. Also a great Ecuadorian cooking school/ restaurant around the corner. The only thing that I missed were certain art Museums that were closed. But still so much to do in Cuenca.

Summary: Stuart and Patricia were gracious and very accommodating. When we arrived we were greeted with fresh fruit, cheese, and bakery bread. After all day travel it was appreciated. Stuart provided a city map for us, free secure internet, and laundry facilities. All the necessities gringo's like. I highly recommend this a must stay while in Cuenca.

Summary: We loved this property! Not only is the architecture lovely, it was close to lots of great attractions and restaurants. We felt right at home after long, fun days of walking the city and hiking in Cajas National Park. We'd definitely stay here again. Having the enclosed courtyard made it easy to relax during downtimes. The bed and sheets were really comfy, too.

Summary: We spent a most wonderful time in Cuenca at Stuart and Patricia’s Pumamaqui apartment. We arrived from the airport by an easy and inexpensive taxi ride and were immediately welcomed by Patricia who has a gorgeous little alpaca shop right beside the apartments. Within minutes, Stuart appeared and gave us a complete rundown of all we would need to know for a great vacation in Cuenca, including not to be missed sights, restaurants, markets etc. There was a gorgeous bowl of fruit to welcome us including a delicious local fruit called granadilla and Ecuadorian bread. The fridge also had some essentials and yummy fresh cheese. We didn’t need to go anywhere to eat that day but did head right next door for a tasty Columbian supper (Moliendo Café) The apartment complex is beautifully constructed in a traditional Ecuadorian style with balconies overlooking an open courtyard--every morning we woke up to a cornucopia of flowering bushes. The apartment has all the modern conveniences including wifi, flat-screen TV, granite countertops and an excellent bed! The location is perfect for walking to everything you want to see. We had an odd experience where the airport temporarily closed down and we were stranded for three additional days. (This was right after the earthquake and the needed construction equipment was not available). Stuart saved the day and worked with us to move upstairs to one of his other apartments as ours was booked. That too was most comfortable. And then the piece de resistance: we couldn’t find out when the airport was going to open again and Stuart went above and beyond to determine this for us. He picked us up early on the third morning to drive us to the airport to make sure we got on a plane. All was well--we were the second plane out! This was a fantastic place to vacation and we would return in a heartbeat. Thanks very much for a great experience. Hope we see you and your family in Miami.
