Casa Macondo Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in Cuenca

Very easy to walk anywhere and close to the Plaza Calderon.||||When i arrived in Cuenca I stayed at another place for one night that I couldn't wait to leave. I walked around to about 5 hostals the next morning and Macondo was the last and the best. I checked out a few others because I'm nosy that I stumbled across too throughout the days I was there, and I always thought Macondo was best.||||PS. I've probably stayed in 1000 guesthouses all over the world in my many years traveling, this is a good...
