    Julio and his family are great hosts, always reachable and help you out in every way. Our stay was excellent but after our stay they even stored our bags since we had to go to Machu Picchu and were staying there for one night. On our way back, the train engine had a lot of issues and we were more than an hour late and wouldn't have been able to catch our onward bus to Puno if we had to pick up our luggage. Julio graciously arrived at the bus station with our whole luggage that we stored at his place and even bought the 'tame' tickets for the bus station for the three of us! We were so grateful to be able to continue our journey as planned. You should definitely stay here for their warm hospitality and care!

    The water pressure in one of the bathrom got very low. But was explained beforehand that is something Cusco government does, it lowers the pressure after 8pm so just had to keep that in mind than no issues .

    Lovely owners, close to san blas and short walk to Plaza de Armas (approx 12 min) . Large flat with all you need and very clean

    Very friendly host, large apartments perfect for a group of friends. The apartment has a backpacker vibe. There is a laundry room right next to the hotel, which is very helpful for people traveling. You can check in and check out at any time. The host responded quickly to all our requests.

    The room was a bit cold. Sometimes the shower was not very warm, or the pressure was low.

    The staff were extremely friendly! They were very flexible and allowed us to keep the same room (without paying) while we went to the Inca trail. So we did not have to pack up all our stuff. They also allowed us to check out in the evening. Great people!

    Location was a bit out of the way and room was a little noisy from neighbouring properties/ businesses. We tried to use the laundry service which was a poor service with loads being mixed up and items lost - would recommend using a different laundry service instead of the one at the property. There is a real lack of communal spaces and not everything on the property booking.com page is accessible.

    Room was spacious and comfortable with a good private bathroom. Good value for money.

    I can be a bit cold in the room, but you have a lot of blankets on the bed

    A very nice, clean and cheap option if you don’t mind walking 10 min to the central of Cusco. We were able to check in at 6am after the night bus, which was very nice :)

    The room is small but functional. It was nice to be able to boil water for tea and soup. The room could be chilly at times but the bed was comfortable with plenty of blankets. The TV has Netflix. Its an easy walk into the historical center, and restaurants. The laundry is just downstairs and little shops are close by.

    The place is great, especially for short stays. It is a 12 min walk to the centre. The host was waiting for us at the time we indicated and he was quite flexible with our late schedule. He is quite responsive on WhatsApp, and he let us leave the luggage while we were doing the Salkantay Trekking. His wife runs a laundry service which is quite helpful.

    It’s not a “luxury” stay but we weren’t expecting that.

    Excellent location - quiet, and just a short walk to the centre of Cusco. Kitchen and decent living room. Comfy beds. Great value for money for our group of four.

    The water pressure could have been harder but that’s all!

    The family are so lovely and easy going and that really made our stay in Cusco so much nicer. this place was everything we wanted at a very affordable price. Can do laundry here and leave bags if you’re like us and staying either side of a multi-day hike. Location is around a 10min walk from main square. You have to walk up hills to get back but around the town centre is so touristy and noisy I’m actually glad we were a 10min walk away anyway. Best to whatsapp them when you arrive or ask at the laundry next door :)

    Nothing important but the room was a bit cold, but we didn't freeze at night because there were plenty of blankets. The shower had hot water but was a bit tricky to handle.

    The owners are extremely friendly and helpful - we could check in to our room really early after arriving with the night bus from Puno and also in the middle of the night after our Salkantay Trekking - furthermore we could even leave our bags there for free and they explained to us how to get to the trail head with public transport. They also own a laundry place where you can get your clothes washed for a reasonable price and even offer an express service. The room was clean with warm blankets, everything as described. Bonus points for the cute cats and especially the cutest of all dogs :D

    The fact that the owner owns a laundry business and a small market. You can really get anything you need at this location. You also have the freedom to eat what you want. There are really nice restaurants nearby.

There's a laundry facility downstairs, so it's very convenient. Wifi works and is very fast. There's hot water all the time.

    A couple of lamps in the living room would be nice.

    The location was perfect, in a charming, safe neighborhood, next to a local market with great breakfast and lunch and just a short walk to the city center. Julio, who spoke English, was so kind and caring, picking us up at the airport and giving us a short tour to help us get oriented. The apartment was very clean, with a fully equipped kitchen, hot shower, comfortable beds with lots of blankets, large TV that was easily connected to a lap top or iPad (HDMI) for Netflix, Prime Video, etc. Laundry service in the building was great!

    The room itself was cold and would have benefited from some type of floor covering. The shower was electric and provided hot water if the shower wasn’t on full. Although hot water was provided in a pump flask a small kettle would have been better.

    The room was spacious, very clean with a comfortable bed. A flat screen TV with Netflix was in the room. There was a mini mart and a very good cheap laundry available. Quiet location approximately 10 minutes walk from the centre. Julio, the owner, spoke very good English and was always available via WhatsApp if we needed anything.
