I arrived at about 5:30 at night, had a booking confirmed for over a week and NOBODY WAS THERE! Rang the bell, messaged and tried to call several times - no reply! People from the shops below were even trying to help me contact them. Finally Expedia customer service helped find me another place to stay, which was thankfully nearby, nicer and less expensive. I'm a pretty experienced traveler but this was kind of scary. I'm a woman, alone, in a new city and it was starting to get dark and cold. I'd just arrived after a 4 hour bus trip and luckily my phone still had some charge. I rely on booking through Expedia so this never happens (and this was the first time.) I think properties like this should be banned from trusted platforms like Expedia. The property did message me three days later to say sorry and wish me a good stay in Cuenca. ##### Kristin Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leonhard 16 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr schöne Dachterasse, super Lage ##### Leonhard Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 27 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Tony was awesome, the roof deck is amazing, we met fantastic people, absolutely LOVED IT! ##### Christopher Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Takuma 2 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Staff son muy amigable y amable!
