We stayed initially for 3 nights and ended up using it as a base pre and post jungle trip and also pre and post Salkantay trip. Carmen is an absolute gem, allowing early check in when it was possibly and storage of bags as well as a delightful breakfast each morning. Lovely to have a little kitchenette and lovely cosy bed for the cool nights in Cusco.

These aren't complaints, just an "FYI": this location is about 50 steps up from the main street (so keep this is mind if you're not used to the altitude yet), and there are several more steps depending on which room you'll have. The listing (for the studio apartment which I booked) also mentions having a balcony and/or patio, but it is not private - it seems like it is communal actually, as breakfast is served at one, and I saw another space with a table and chairs on the other side of the place. Lastly, the owner Carmen only accepts cash at the time of check-in, which was not indicated when I booked online; luckily I had cash on hand to give her, otherwise I probably would have had to walk around Cusco by myself at 20:00/8:00pm for an ATM.

I booked a "studio apartment" room that had 2 beds (even though I was traveling alone and only needed 1, but the bed was comfortable) but I appreciated having a refrigerator and kitchenette, as I expected that I needed to use them at at least once during my stay in Cusco. Carmen cleaned my room during the day, which I was not expecting at all, and she offers a nice little breakfast which includes bread, eggs, fruit, juice, and tea/ coffee within a 2 hour time frame every morning.

The stairs outside are a killer at altitude. Sometimes good distributed by people going for tours early in the morning, but it was v v minimal.

This little room was the perfect stay in Cusco. The room was nice and the lady running it was so accommodating. She let us keep our bags there for a few days when we went to Machu Picchu. WiFi was good, room wasn’t too cold thanks to all the blankets.

The hot water needs to be upgraded, it was at best, lukewarm.

The apartment is centrally located, clean and my room had a lovely view over the city. The staff are pleasant, and accomadating, and the breakfast was good. The apartment, though a bit cramped, was well equiped for cooking.

Nothing to dislike.

Senora Carmen was super nice!! I made a mistake with the booking and she helped change it, at no extra cost. She also gave us tips about Cusco. The Treehouse has to be Cusco's most charming accommodation. Nothing is square or lines up exactly but all studio rooms are built around this tree that grows in the middle of the building and everywhere are lovely pots with plants and and it's just so cute and charming. A series of stairs eventually lead you to a sunny roof terrace (covered) where breakfast is served. Breakfast is freshly prepared when you arrive and consists of fresh fruit, eggs, bread, jam, fresh fruit juice and tea/coffee. We also like that the room wasn't cold like our previous accommodation, despite no heating.

The tapwater is not so trustworthy. Often is splashes and runs incontinuously. Experienced this in two rooms. One night it even went dry completely.

Great atmosphere in this cosy hotel. Lives up to the nickname treehouse. Situated in a great neighborhood of Cusco. Carmen is one of the friendliest hosts I've met on my journey.

Was unsure how to use gas stove in kitchen but thats all!

I love how unique the property looks on the inside with the tree . Our room was so cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect and our host. Carmen was super sweet and helpful.

It’s a walkable distance from town centre & main attractions. Charming tree house.

Would be better with microwave and kettle instead of gas stove in room, will be safer.

Good breakfast and view from there

Beautiful property which winds up an old tree - wonderful, large, well-insulated rooms with plenty of natural light, incredible view from the top floor where breakfast is served each morning. TASTY breakfast made with love (milk with coffee, fresh fruit juice blended by handed). Nothing was too bigger ask for the lovely woman who owns/manages the place - we felt very looked after and welcomed always.

Floor mats in the bathroom would be great during colder months after a shower!

Good sized room and clean bathroom with a comfortable bed. The staff were extremely helpful especially as i was sick at the time. Short walk to shops/food but very quiet with a great outdoor seating area. Dining room had an amazing view of Cusco!

Wonderfully located in the old town of Cusco. Easy walking to everything. Carmen (the owner) could not have been friendlier. She tried to make everything easy for us. What a wonderful host.

You need to have patience to wait for the water to heat, specially in the early mornings. They don't accept credit card, payment only in cash

Fine location in charming San Blas neighborhood, very near to Plaza de Armas. A nice and warm room with a view, small kitchen and Netflix in TV. Carmen, the house maid, is so gentle!

Just had the most incredible stay at Casa de Mama in Cusco! Feeling so grateful for this beautiful experience. 🙏✨ From the moment I stepped foot into this charming hotel, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff here truly goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, and I couldn't be more thankful for their kindness and attentiveness throughout my stay. The rooms are absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views of the city and cozy, comfortable beds that made it hard to leave in the mornings. Not to mention, the location is perfect! Casa de Mama is nestled in the heart of Cusco, just a short walk away from the main square and all the vibrant markets, shops, and restaurants. Exploring the city was a breeze, and I loved being able to immerse myself in the rich culture and history of this incredible place. But what truly sets Casa de Mama apart is the genuine care they have for their guests. If you're planning a trip to Cusco, I highly recommend staying at Casa de Mama. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Casa de Mama, for an unforgettable experience. I can't wait to return someday.

The room was incredibly cold - it was only bearable under all the blankets, in bed. Also, floors are a bit squeaky, so with everyone leaving at 3/4/5 AM for tours, we always got an early wake-up (and I'm not a light sleeper) - but tbh this might be an issue in many places across Cusco.

Good value for money, great location close to centre, nicely furnished room, hot showers, good wifi, friendly host.

Not a negative word to say.

Wonderful room in an enchanting place. Carmen keeps the place spotless and is always helpful with local advice. Bring your hiking legs, it's 50 stairs up to the entrance.( That's how you get the great views of the city).

No hot water in bathroom sink. (There is a hot shower in the room). Very basic breakfast.

Beautiful house. Nice rooms with views overlooking the city. Carmen was very nice took very good care of us. Located on the beautiful San Blas neighborhood in a short walking distance from Plaza de Armas, Plazoleta and Mercado de San Blas, Saqsaywaman and all Cusco sites. Lots of cafes and restaurants close by. Dinning room on top floor with rare viewpoint over the city. Good value for money.

The entrance isn't on the main road and you need to take some steps.

One of the best staying in Peru.... And Carmen is so nice that you can spend a day talking with her <3. Hospitality is on such a high level. Rooms are so cosy and beautiful and clean. And what I loved the most was the view from the house.... And a so such beautiful common on the roof top. That was one of my favorite places. It was such an amazing stay in this house. 👏 This is the best place to chill and enjoy, therefore, I recommend to stay slightly longer than one night.. it's fantastic.. the whole atmosphere👌100🌟

Can't think of anything. Would stay here again!

Super comfortable accommodation and wonderful host. Great location and value. Warm blankets and warm water in the shower plus a kitchenette. It had everything we needed and more.

The stairs are a real killer for the first few days at 11,000 feet.

The building looks ordinary on the outside, but once you get inside you can see the rooms are built around a walkway that spirals up around a tree that grows on the property. It’s a quirky mix of rustic and modern and I loved it. Breakfast is served on the top of the house in a dining room with expansive views across the city. Staff is super friendly and helpful, and let me store my bags in the luggage room when I went away to Machu Picchu for the weekend. the internet was good enough to support remote work and Zoom calls.
