After all this, if you still think we're overcharging, then pick a city (any city) in the world on websites like AirBnb, FlipKey, TripAdvisor, and/or VRBO and take a gander at their short term rates (for whole apt...not shared rooms in a house). In some cities where hotels are in the $200 - $300 range per night (let's say...Seattle), short term rentals are easily over $100. I recently paid $100 a night for a Motel 6 in the outskirts of Miami!! MOTEL 6!!!! Now, do a search for Cuenca (Ecuador... not Spain) and you'll easily see all of the competing properties here. We're pretty much all in line with each other as it relates to cost versus what is offered.
Need a place to stay while you visit Cuenca but want more space and be able to cook (not eat out for every meal)? Moving here but need temporary digs while you find your 'permanent' home, but prefer not to be stuck in a hotel?
I totally agree with you, and if people think your gouging so be it. You can t fix stupid, I have tried, and gave up. I love your blogs, and your pictures. Give your babies ( your animals) a hug for me. We can t wait to rent from you again, short term. Reply Delete Replies Dano July 19, 2014 at 8:02 AM
This is all about my transition from an American lifestyle and culture to my newest adventure, life in Cuenca and greater Ecuador. I'll be recapping some of my day-to-day experiences (and mishaps) to highlight what it's like to live here.
