Apartamentos Casas Colgadas

We received a warm welcome from Felix who met us at the agreed meeting point within ten minutes of us arriving despite us being a few hours early. He had arranged parking at the auditorium for free which was within a five minute walk to the apartment .....though this is uphill to the historic quarter. He packed our luggage and us into his little fiat and took us as far as he could before helping to carry our luggage the last few steps to the apartment. He gave us a detailed tour of the small well equipped studio which was just what we needed after a long drive through France and Spain as it had a washing machine and ironing facilities as well as dishwasher, microwave, hob etc. The only thing missing that a Brit would want was a kettle. We always travel with a small one as they rarely have tea making facilities in hotels in Spain even in the five star ones. The bed was comfortable and apartment clean apart from the kitchen cupboards which could have done with a more thorough clean. There was free wifi and we were just a few steps from the famous hanging houses and the Plaza Mayor with its Cathedral and bars. We were worried that there was no air con in such a hot Summer but he assured us that the temperature would drop during the night because of the height and this proved true. We slept well with the windows open and the mosquito shutters down. We found this place comfortable, well located and perfect for our needs. Felix was charming though be warned he has little English. We managed fine with my bad Spanish and the use of his phone in translating. We would certainly recommend this to anyone who would like to spend a few days in Cuenca. It was very well priced.
