No stairs on the street or big slope to begin our day to acclimatise. Uber XL was like 23 soles from the airport. It is a one way street, so the boarding/alight will need to be real fast!The location is perfect for us. Around 1 km to San Pedro Market/Train Station, 1.5 km to Wanchaq market/ Train station, less than 10 min walk from Inca Rail bus-train bimodel drop off point and slightly 10 min walk to the main square.There are mini markets right by the left and right, if you run out of toilet roll, you can just buy one at 1.5 soles.A bigger supermarket is 2 min walk, 24 hours medical centre 2 min walk (we had to use it because a kid got ear pain -- cost 480 soles), Olivio local peruvian vege restaurant 2 min walk (set meal 15 soles, big portion, delicious, authenthic, we ate there 3 times) and if you want to go to Ollantaytambo or Uruamba, the collecto mini van is right at the corner. Right opposite to the duplex apartment is a parking garage.The duplex apartment has big space for 6 of us. The day we arrived, the temperature was like -2 degree celcius at night. The small portable heater we requested was not enough to warm up the apartment. So the apt was always cold, like Eastern Canada late spring without heating. We stayed 5 nights.We didn't really cook, just boiled water, but kitchen seems got all cooking utensil and some condiments -salt, oil ..Washing machine was useful, but clothes were difficult to dry. We left them in the balcony in front, where the sun was.

The property was clean and walking distance to city center. The host was quick to respond.

The description of YURAQTAMPU house is a little bit deceiving - It's listed as 2 baths but there is only one shower with hot water. In fact, only one bathroom has hot water, not the other nor the kitchen. 4 bedrooms are spacious, but only one of them has a window. The noise from the street in the morning may be a little too much for a light sleeper plus there is a dog who barks in the morning and we were not able to sleep past 7 am. Other than those above issues we had a fantastic time. Location is perfect, Rosa was very easy to communicate with, we had everything we needed. There was 5 of us girls and despite only one true bathroom we managed just fine. We would definitely recommend and stay there again when visiting Cusco.

Rosa was a great host. She responded to our questions promptly. We needed to stay an extra day (10 total) and she was accommodating. The house is older, but well maintained. There is a grocery store around the corner and the main plaza is an easy 12-15 minute walk away, where there are many good restaurants.
