Ecuador Welcome Forum: Presidential Election:

Anybody living in Ecuador currently have thoughts about the election? About political stability in Ecuador in general? My wife and I will be traveling to Cuenca in September for a month. I will be evaluating whether a year-long stay will work for us (working at my state-side job remotely.)

Ecuador Welcome Forum: Where to Stay in Cuenca?:

My wife and I will be spending a month in Cuenca from the middle of September to the middle of October. We don't know anything about the city. We are interested in the full city experience: We want to have a place with a kitchen, shop at the markets, do our own cooking, go out to restaurants, travel in the taxis and on the busses. I will be working at my programmer job remotely, so a good and reliable internet connection will be necessary. Are there better and worse areas of the city? I would hope that my wife would be able to walk down on the street, go get coffee by herself and not have any issues. Suggestions? thanks!

My wife and I will be visiting Cuenca next year and would like to rent a place that is walkable.

Which area of Cuenca should we focus on?
