General Overview
Warm, Light-Filled Luxury Condo with Incredible River Views – Cuenca, Ecuador 🇪🇨
We’re so happy to share our home in Cuenca! Numbeo has rated this city #1 for Best City in South America 2 years in a row.
✨ Our home
This is a peaceful, well kept apartment in a private building of only 6 units, with working professionals as your neighbors (including the governor of Azuay). There is a storage space and parking spot, so you have privacy, space, and amazing views from every angle.
The home itself is spacious, cozy, fully furnished, and thoughtfully designed for simple living.
There is a home office setup if you need to work remotely.
All utilities are included (water/electric/gas/internet).
📍 Location
This neighborhood is called Puertas Del Sol, meaning "Doors of the Sun". The sun floods the apartment and you have natural light all day. You can walk to:
- Riverfront on the Tombebamba - very peaceful and safe for walking/jogging/cycling
- grocery stores and pharmacies
- restaurants and cafes
- 5 min walk to the Tramvia station
- Only 10–15 minutes by taxi/Uber to the historic center (about $2 day/$3 night)
Getting around is very easy:
- Taxis and Uber
- Public transport and tram access closeby
- Highly walkable city
🏛️ Why Cuenca?
🌅The climate
Sitting at 8,399 feet/ 2,500 meters above sea level - Cuenca enjoys a spring-like temperature year-round, with mild days and cool evenings—no extremes, just comfortable living all year. Just make sure to wear your sunscreen as the UV index is quite high due to the proximity to the equator + altitude.
🌿 Close to nature
Cuenca is surrounded by opportunities to connect with nature:
- Cajas National Park (30–45 min): lakes, hiking, incredible landscapes
- Baños de Cuenca: thermal baths, spa treatments, and relaxing day trips
- Waterfalls, scenic drives, and fresh mountain air all around (I can connect you with trusted drivers)
✈️ Easy Galápagos access
As of March 2026, there are now direct flights from Cuenca to the Galápagos Islands. If this has been on your to-do list, it just got easier.
The Space
Fully furnished. All utilities included, that includes sheets, towels and kitchen essentials.
Guest Access
3rd floor, no elevator, private parking access and gate code access. Only 6 units in the building.
Notes
There is no TV. Cuenca is for reconnecting with nature, you will find a TV is not necessary!

Hola!
We are Rebecca and Roberto, and we love to travel and meet other like minded people around the world.
I am American and Italian, speak English/Spanish/Italian, my partner Roberto is American and Ecuadorian, speaks English/Spanish/French.
We have an apartment in Cuenca, Ecuador we could love to share with others, it is one of the loveliest places in South America, Ecuador has everything for nature lovers!
We both work in tech and enjoy working from different places, which means we can travel for longer stretches. We are new to home exchanges, but looking forward to building community and friendship while exploring new places.
Cheers!
