Ecuador
A friendly family-owned and run guesthouse. The rooms are basic but clean and it is very central and also cheap. Breakfast is not included but it is easy to find a cafe in Cuenca.
Mariscal Lamar 10 38 & Padre Aguirre, Cuenca,
Located in a beautifully restored old colonial house and centred around a lush courtyard garden, Macondo is a little haven from the chaos of taxis and buses outside. With friendly and informative staff, clean rooms, and even a kitchen (a real rarity in Ecuador), it’s the perfect place to relax for a few days.
