This was a quick stay en route to another location in the area, but I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable in the lodge. Upon arrival, I was served coca leaf tea to relieve any symptoms of altitude sickness. I'd been on an arduous set of flights, so a warm drink and comfortable bed were all I wanted. The lodge also features a beautiful flowery courtyard and a couple of friendly dogs. I would recommend this location to people who don't mind staying a bit away from the touristy areas. The neighbourhood was relatively quiet, mostly residential, and there is a grocery store just a few blocks away. Other than that, there are not many restaurants or shops within a short walk, but taxis are easy to get and quite cheap in Cusco.
