Home sweet home Cuenca

Curious where we stayed in Cuenca?  We rented in a studio in the city center that we found on AirBnB for a month and it was awesome!  The location was great – only 4 blocks to our school – and walking distance to just about everything else we needed.  We were really surprised by all the nice finishes and the kitchen had everything we needed, even a really nice blender for making fresh juices.  Below are a few pictures of the place.

PS – We just got back to mainland Ecuador after an amazing week in the Galapagos.  We’ll be posting pictures in the next day or two of our trip!

One wall of the apartment was all windows - this was the view!

A little dark because of all the light outside - but here's the kitchen table.

The kitchen was great!  You had to use a lighter to light the oven though so you can guess how many times we used it (0-I was too scared!)

We had a huge couch to lounge on.

The apartment actually had two beds so was perfect for when Jen visited.
