As another guide stated, EASY 5 STARS. Nestled in the heart of Barranco, within walking distance to everything within the barrio, quiet, safe, private space in a great district.
The location alone would make this a superb value.
Nevertheless, the help and care I received from the staff (kudos to Elizabeth and Nicole) made me feel like I had my own personal concierge. Having had extensive global experience both in exploration and work, this place and these great people were simply priceless.
As a simple example, Elizabeth worked her extensive contacts to help me take a local bus to a relatively unknown airport to join a small charter aircraft that overflew the Nazca lines, a dream I've had for three decades. I not only was saved a huge expense by not booking with one of the agencies that "specialized" in these charters, but also saved 8 hours of additional bus travel that the other agencies required.
A big shout out to Nicole as well for recommending a local seafood dive that was so good I ate every dinner there after my first. If you are a seafood and local food lover as well, check out Canta Rana. My first dinner there was caldo de choros, muchame de bonito, y copa de vino gran bodega blanco. If you like that as much as I did, return and simply work your way through the rest of the menu.
I thank all of the staff for making my stay a truly wonderful one. Anytime I'm back in Lima, this will be my home away from home.
