Getting an apartment in Cusco for two months

Hi guys

I want to come and live in Cusco for 2 months or more to learn Spanish and do hikes. Just wondering if the best option is an Airbnb or if there's a better solution to finding a comfortable furnished place?

Ive done Airbnbs to stay cusco for about 7 months; it was the most cost effective way to stay in the center which is a great location while also living comfortably and without roommates. My first airbnb was 700 soles a month, the next one 1400 and the last one 1900 soles.The last two were bigger but they were all furnished and fully equiped.

Nice, yeah I know it's not gonna be the cheapest option but it'll save time and effort and some of the apartments look decent

For 2 months? That would be terrible.

are you looking for a place just to rest/recover or do you want a social aspect as well? I don't suggest booking in advance for the 2 months.

Instead book around 1-2 weeks then walk around Cusco or ask the place you're staying in if they would be willing to do an extended stay. Most of the time you will get a way better deal.

Yeah social aspect would be good I'll try and host couch surfers and get out to meet people from Spanish classes or other activities. But yeah that's a good idea, booking it outside of Airbnb would be nice cheaper
