A beautiful house in a safe neighborhood. I was so thankful after such a long flight that Christian and Kelly had arranged for someone to meet me at the airport. He even waited 45 minutes as my flight was delayed by a volcanic eruption in Ecuador. The house was definitely as described and has a few rooms available- it would be great place to go with friends! I didn't get to meet Christian and Kelly as they were out of town but they had some of their friends there who I met the next morning and who were so kind to help me get a bus and told me how to change money and how to get a local SIM card. They spoke English so I didn't feel totally lost. FYI your computer and cell phone can plug straight into the wall, although you will need a "transformador" for your toothbrush and other appliances that don't already have an adapter. Also outlets aren't grounded here so you need an adapter to save your third prong. Your computer might feel a little buzzy- it's because there is no ground on the electric but it is safe for your and your laptop. This place isn't right next to the airport but you can definitely hear the planes. If you are looking for ultimate peace and quiet this may not be the spot but it's plenty peaceful for being in a city.

A place just wonderful !! We had problems at the airport with the suitcase and the driver was very patient and loving with us, and upon reaching the house we were luxury, they are a lovely family and made us feel part of it but only stayed one day. Super recommended, anyone who wants a wonderful stay must pass through this house! Furthermore it is super close to a shopping center and the driver gives tourist rides !!

Great place to stay for getting in and out of Lima. Cristian was a great host. Didn't see him the 2nd time I stayed but the place is clean, comfortable and has all you need for airport stays back and forth. We were picked up and dropped off by Beto from the airport and he was awesome and helpful for local area places to eat or visit. Rooms were all very clean and well maintained. House is very nice in gated community. And walking distance to a local mall with nice restaurant there with excellent ceviche (Tanta). The rooms towards the main street side can be a little noisy. I'm a light sleeper and use earplugs when traveling, so no issue. Overall, highly recommend if you want clean, safe place and neighborhood and get rides to and from airport. Very efficient and they make sure you are taken care of. Thanks Christian & Beto!

I do NOT recommend this place ! The pictures are not representating truly the place as this couple seem to have several houses in differents neighborhoods in Lima. We never met the hosts on the picture profile although the person who welcome us was nice. When we arrived at the aiport, a "trusted driver" should have been there to pick us up, as it is proposed on the announce. We waited for an hour but nobody showed up. We had to negociate with a taxi who did not know where the place was. The house is in a small neighborhood, not well known by the taxi drivers in Lima, near the Zoo, in San Miguel (nothing like the map where the house is located near the University). It takes 20 to 30 minutes to go to the center of Lima and approximately the same to go to Miraflores, which is not comfortable. On our first night, it took us one hour to convince several taxi drivers to take us back to the place which is located at San Miguel, as it does not seem to be a safe place at night. What a nightmare... Renting rooms seems to be a real business for these hosts... nothing like the Airbnb true spirit. Really disappointed by this experience !

We spent two nights at Christian & Kelly's. They are a great couple, very considerate & kind. The rooms are very comfortable, the breakfast really decent & filling. We were very tired on the last night & needed to sleep after a very early flight & before another early flight. We enjoyed interesting conversations with them along with another traveller who was staying there. It was Peter's birthday & the next morning we found some cake with our juice & ham & cheese empanadas which Christian had packed for us to take to the airport for our 6:30am flight! We were very impressed with his thoughtful & kind gesture. We highly recommend staying at Peru Roadtrip B&B, there are clean & good sized rooms. Christian & Kelly are a wonderful couple, very sweet & caring. Look out for Houdini their white & marmalade cat, he is adorable!

super convenient. had them pick me up at the airport, slept there, and left 6 hours later. didn't meet the hosts, but they had arranged everything for me--what more could i ask for!

Great experience as this was my first time using Airbnb and will definitely use again. The driver Betto was very helpful, a source of knowledge, good English and even cooked the breakfast. The house was clean, well organised, comfortable and had good wifi. Didn't meet my hosts as they were out of town. Kelly's emails were very helpful, friendly, and quick to respond. 15 minutes walk to the mall which has bars and restaurants.

Cristian was the perfect host!! I am an older woman traveling alone for the first time. I had apprehension but Kelly and Cristian reassured me from the beginning by emails.. Their driver picked me up at midnight from the airport. Cristian, being a tour guide of Lima was a wonderful benefit of staying in his B &B. the tour he provided was interesting, informative, and a great value for the money. Lunch was included and I loved the ceviche as well as the other Peruvian food.I had everything at the house I needed and was comfortable with him from the first day. Not only did Cristian show me Lima, he talked me into including a stay to see Manchu Piccu and made all the arrangements for me. franco was very helpful as well. He provided breakfast daily in a timely manner and took good care of the house. If I Ever come back to Lima I will stay with Cristian again. I consider him and Franco my friends.

Gawain was out of town, so his brother-in-law, Robert, was there to greet us when we got in. The home was charming--especially the rooftop terrace, and very close to the main square, museums, etc. We had a lovely stay.

We had a nice stay here. It is in a local neighborhood but very close to tourist spots. Unfortunately our room wasn't ready when we arrived but we relaxed on the beautiful terrace while this was sorted out. The home is beautiful and has a nice kitchen available for use as well as laundry. Would recommend staying here.

Our host, Gaby, was amazing to be around, Although, she has way to much energy in the morning. She keeps the place spotless and fresh at all times. We lucked out because the other guests were people you wanted to be around and have really nice conversations with. The only small complaint I had to include all the other guests was the lack of hot water, I underhand that was going to be rectified ASAP. I would definitely stay there again. Great value for the money. Dr. Bob Cuenca, Ecuador

Positives: Robert was great. He was attentive and very nice. He was happy to give us suggestions. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The rooftop terrace is really nice with fantastic views of the mountains surrounding Arequipa. Negatives: Everyday we were there (3 days) there were multiple church services projected over a loudspeaker that was noisy.

The reservation was canceled 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This place is in a great location for exploring downtown Arequipa on foot, in a safe neighborhood, with a nice roof for a drink or a book. It's clean and quaint, and while Gawain was out of town, his brother-in-law Robert lives there and was very nice and accommodating. Thumbs up, thank you! We rented a pick up truck down the road to explore Colca Canyon, only for one (long) day. If you're interested in seeing it and comfortable driving a 4x4, it's amazing, but too vast for a day. I'd recommend finding a guide to do a 2 or 3 day camping trek. Maybe bring extra gas, as resources after Chivay are sparse!

My stay at Gawain and Gabi's house in Arequipa was excellent and I would highly recommend it! The private room I had was bright, spacious and clean. It was great to have access to a full kitchen, washing machine, and an amazing roof deck. The description online was very accurate and while I did not get to meet Gawain and Gabi, their online communication was prompt, accommodating, and highly responsive. I received a "welcome email" after confirming the booking that provided all information needed for arriving to the house, nearby shops, their contact information, and other useful details about the neighborhood. The host on-site at the house, Robert, was extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. As a first time (and solo) traveler to Arequipa, I felt very safe in the neighborhood and the proximity to the Plaza de Armas was perfect (just a couple of blocks to walk).

Centrally located, safe, beautiful terrace, great kitchen, best wi-fi in Peru and cable & movies to boot. Host was extremely gracious and accommodating. Only complaints would be the very finicky hot water in the shower (long story short, you can choose between a warm trickle or a cold blast), lack of hot water elsewhere, and that I wasn't clear going in that we would be sharing a bathroom with the other guests. There are far worse fates.

Our stay here was totally amazing. We came very early in the morning and Giovanna organized a pick up (Mr. Pancho, who is very friendly) and they were very helpful with everything. The place is amazing. The view is breathtaking and you can just sit there and watch the sea for hours. By the way, the terrace is a very good wale watching spot :). We were very lucky to see Wales every day. So, if you want to have days to relax at a nice house and a beautiful beach you have to go to giovannas place :).

A truly magical spot! The apartment is v spacious & homely, with a large comfortable bed, nice shower with hot water, good kitchen area & great wifi. There is a stunning terrace with the most wonderful views to the sea (less than 2 mins walk away), with the sun all day & breathtaking sunsets. The town is abt 30 mins walk away or you can v easily get a moto in. It is a really peaceful & relaxing place (there is some building work at the moment but that should be completed soon & the work isn't noisy) & I would definitely stay again. Giovanna was the most wonderful, welcoming host, a real pleasure, & she lives right nxt to the apartment so is on hand in case of any problems or queries you have.

We spent 9 days in this light and airy casita overlooking the sea. During our time in Pocitas we spend most of our time walking on the often deserted beach, collecting shells to make mobiles, reading, cooking and generally relaxing big style. There's not much else to do in Pocitas, so if you want to party, stay in Mancora. We did our grocery shopping in Mancora - go to the smaller shops - turn right into the small road at the end of the strip. Much more variety than the two 'supermarkets' and much cheaper and friendlier. Giovanna is the perfect host, one of life's lovely people, she does all she can to make your stay a happy one, is very unobtrusive, but always available if you need anything. The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking utensils - you may need more for a longer stay or if you are an adventurous cook, but Giovanni impressed on us several times that if we needed anything we had only to ask. The house is back from the beach, across a small road and some land, so is not exactly beachfront, but is great value for a roomy casita so near the beach, with a sea view and sunsets every evening. We were lucky enough to see the little silver fox one morning and the trees outside the casita are always alive with little birds, including the tiniest hummingbird ever! This is a great choice in Pocitas. Enjoy!

Giovanna is a friendly and helpful host. She assisted us with everything that we needed, and my children absolutely loved her and her outgoing personality. Pancho, who can provide mototaxi rides into town and tours around Mancora, was also helpful and available whenever we needed him. The house was very simple and rustic, but it has a wonderful view. The kitchen is enough for basic meals. There is hot water in the shower and the beds were sufficient. The beach is very close and lovely to walk along, especially when the tide is out and you can examine the tide pools and collect shells. This is a place to go if you want a quiet break from city life.

A fabulous place just ou side of Mancora. The place has a great viewing deck with epic views of the ocean (great for whale watching!) and just a short hop to the beach. Mancora is a 7 soles, 10 minute ride. Giovanna, the host, is superb, and so knowledgeable about the area and Perú in general. The place is a great value offer. I'd be definitely back there again! Carlos

We loved our stay so much we booked more nights. See our other review.

Let me premise this by saying that my wife and I were formerly airbnb superhosts and been traveling 2.5 mo through S. America. We've stayed in some really great airbnbs, hotels, and boutiques along the way, but Giovanna's place has been the absolute best. The place is wonderful and she is equally wonderful. As great as the reviews and pictures were, it exceeded every expectation we had. The home is small and sparsely decorated just as advertised. But the view is priceless and the French doors that open to the sea from your bedroom make it feel like an infinity pool of the gods. I can't say enough good things about Giovanna. She was so kind and sweet and made us feel so at home. It was definitely the best deal we've ever found on Airbnb and quite possibly (probably) the best place we've.ever stayed on Airbnb. If was magical. We should note that while we were there the Internet was out for the entire neighborhood. It didn't affect our trip at all and there is nothing Giovanna could have done to fix it, but just want to provide a clear and honest picture of the place.

Giovanna was an amazing host; very nice, quickly responding to any needs, and providing local info. The house is perfect for both being near the beach and being completely private, while having a beautiful view. I truly enjoyed my stay here.

We had a great stay at Casa Carlos. Carlos and Jackie were great hosts - really friendly and offered great advice for sights to see, where to eat, buy souvenirs etc. The location is perfect for the Plaza de Armas and visiting other sites around Cusco. Thanks again for your hospitality. Annaliza and Tony

Carlos was an amazing host. The house was beautiful and the room was amazing. Carlos woke up the next morning cooked us breakfast, with savory cusqueño coffee. We had a great conversation while he explained to is where we could go and how to get there. He had great recommendations for eating. All in all he made our stay in cusco memorable.

A little older than expected, but very clean and comfortable. Very nice man, tried to make sure we were comfortable and helped us organize our tours.

Carlos made us very welcome. The breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed chatting to Carlos. He gave us lots of useful information on restaurants and organised an excellent tour for us. It is a great house and I would recommend it to friends.

A great airbnb...the accommodations are clean, there is a nice beakfast, it is very well located 3 blocks from the main square, and the host is very nice

I really enjoyed my stay with Jackie. I initially booked 2nights with her but extended my stay as I couldn't imagine any place better and so convenient in location. I had initially read about her and all the good reviews and I must agree it's all true! I initially came in very early to Cusco and Jackie was there to meet me and showed me around, we later had a lovely breakfast and she gave me a map with recommendation on what to see and do. I didn't have much time in Cusco and she was extremely helpful in booking me some tours which were good deals and for the problems I had with one tour she was there to listen to my feedback which wasn't really her responsibility and for that I was grateful. The rooms were clean, comfortable and presentable, there was hot water which is definitely a plus for winter in Peru and constant tea, breakfast was good and nicely presented. Her house is quite close to the centre and it's in a safe neighbourhood, as a solo traveller, I felt quite safe. All in all, a lovely experience for me and I would recommend her to anyone as she goes over and beyond. Thanks Jackie for a lovely time, it's very obvious you put your heart in all you do and genuinely enjoy hosting people..

Our experience in Carlo´s house was simply great! the location is perfect as is very close to the plaza de armas. the house is a very nice colonial house, with very good beds. but best of all was to have the company of Jackie (Carlos was on a trip). it was all very good and well worth the stay!

Staying with Carlos was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had so far. He was so helpful it can't be overstated. He sat me down with a cup of coca tea when I got there, and told me all of the best places to go. He scheduled several taxis for me, as well as a tour of the sacred valley. The house was gorgeous, the rooms comfortable, and the beds warm. There was a simple delicious breakfast every morning of local bread, cheese, jam, coffee, tea, and fresh pressed juice. Frequent users of Airbnb know that the breakfast isn't necessarily a given. I was so pleased with everything about my stay. This is THE place to stay in Cusco.

The family was so nice and hospitable. They are happy to answer any questions you have and give great advice and offer help with transportation. The room was large and the bed comfy. The breakfast was lovely. It's a good spot to stay in if you are visiting Huacachina as its 15 mins away and taxis are everywhere and cheap so it's easy to get there:) My tip is when u get a taxi when first heading out to house from bus station, make sure the taxi driver knows how to get there.

We had an amazing stay with Luis and Victoria. You could not ask for more accomodating and kind hosts. It was such a great way to start our Peruvian travels. For anyone staying in Ica we would recommend staying with Luis and Victoria without hesitation.

Juan, Luis, and Victoria's house was a breath of fresh air. They have a beautiful house and were very accommodating for the short duration of our stay. It was our first time staying in a room in another person's home, as oppose to having the whole residence, and they made it a very comfortable experience. They set up transportation for us whenever we needed it, including to and from the bus station, which is always appreciated in an unfamiliar place. They had breakfast and coffee ready in the morning, and they even exchanged some currency for us when we ran out of soles, which was very generous. Unfortunately we weren't able to take advantage of their beautiful pool and backyard, as we were only in town one night, but others staying at the residence did and it looked quite relaxing.

Luis and Victoria were excellent hosts, they arranged a wine tour for us, which was a total last, helped us out with logistical stuff and offered to drive is to a few places, and arranges taxis. They were incredibly helpful, kind and generous. It was a perfect, quiet retreat at the end of a whirlwind trip through Peru. The best sleep we had he entire trip, and their place is beautiful. Even better than the pictures.

waow... What an awesome time we had staying at this lovely airbnb. Juan, Luis and Victoria were the best and most friendliest hosts ever. From the first second they made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The place is really awesome, located in a really quite and safe area of ica, with a big sand dune directly behind the house( Climb up there, its totally worth it!!!!!) The rooms are clean and the bed is really confortable, furthermore every door is open in the house. When chilling at the pool, luis and victoria try to fulfil any wish and even far beyond this. They prepared us awesome food for breakfast and lunch. ( Best local peruian food)! I can just highly recommend this place. You won't find any better.

This was genuinely the best experience we have ever had staying at an airbnb. Luis is an absolute gem who was so kind, caring and hospitable. Cannot describe the experience better than saying that you will truly feel at "home", with hosts who truly go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Luis offered to pick us up from the airport, made us delicious home made breakfast, and helped us figure out where to go with amazing recommendations. He helped us organise our sand buggy / sand surfing tour in huacachina, and also two wine tours. Their home is very beautiful and the rooms are extremely clean and well kept. Our hosts helped us do our laundry on site. If you are looking for your next great airbnb experience, look no further. Highly recommend!!!

We only spent one night here before we ended our vacation and it was just great. The view and hospitality were fantastic. Victoria is such a sweetheart, very helpful and made our last night wonderful. The house is wonderfully decorated and all the pets are just too cute. The fact that this place is a lil further from the Ica city center made it a great hideout to get away from all noise and traffic.

If you are coming to Ica you simply must stay here. The hosts are the nicest people we have come across on our four month backpacking trip. The first thing that Vicky said to us was welcome home! We felt instantly comfortable. The room is very spacious, clean and the bed is fantastic. The garden.... WOW!! Beautiful flowers surrounding it where we saw hummingbirds. It is so peaceful you can sit there for hours. We sat with the family talking Into the night which was great. Luis organised a tour for us to visit the museum (where Hazael was a fantastic guide and translator), wineries and to do the sand buggying in Huacachina.. perfect! Vicky and Mylene cooked us a wonderful dinner and breakfast was always delicious. Plus we got to eat it in the garden! Juan although he wasn't there, always answered any questions we had very quickly. They have two wonderful dogs, a parrot and a big fluffy cat which we loved too. Tracy was hibernating! If you are visiting Ica, this place is amazing and you will not be disappointed. We truly did not want to leave.

Great place and very nice hosts all around Thank you Dee and Efrain

Agree with other reviews, the place is even more amazing in person! The best part though was Dee, who went out of her way to make sure we had an amazing stay! From arranging taxis, to suggesting tours, to having bread brought to us in the morning, she was really wonderful. Absolutely loved our stay and would stay again in a heartbeat.

This little guest house is a wonderful place to relax, and enjoy beautiful surroundings, with a cosy log fire. A lovely welcome was received on arrival with fresh eggs, bread, tea, coffee etc. A great folder containing information on restaurants, suggested itinerary's and a name of local driver was fantastic.

Dee and Efrain were so incredibly kind and welcoming to me. They helped me with EVERYTHING I needed, be it suggestions on local sites, setting up transportation, places to eat, etc. The cottage was exactly as it was presented, and the beds were INSANELY comfortable. I thought about trying to take the mattress home with me... They really made me feel at home and like I was an old friend, as opposed to a guest staying on their property. I was really able to relax and enjoy all the beautiful surroundings.

The cottage was a great home base for us for our weeks in the Cusco/Sacred Valley region. The kitchen and laundry machine were very handy for a family, the gardens were beautiful and peaceful, and our kids had a great time playing soccer on the big open green space and exploring the rest of the property. My husband had to work remotely part of the time we were there - Dee and Efrain helped us set up a working space with a desk brought in from their house and made sure the Internet was working well. The house was clean and as shown in the photos. It is a bit of a walk to the main road with kids in tow, given the altitude (circa 15 minutes), but Dee gave us numbers for taxis we could call to come straight to the house and pick us up. And the slightly removed location makes the house & grounds quieter. Overall a great experience.

Book this place, for as long as you can. We could write forever and still not be able to fully explain how awesome Dee and Efrain's place is! The house is beyond incredible, very large, clean, and warm. Not just a house, a home. The property is immaculate, plenty of area to enjoy their lush gardens. Dee went above and beyond to make sure we loved not just the house, but also our time in the Sacred Valley. She showed us aroud, helped us book tours, and made sure we knew all the great spots to visit. We were treated like family. The area is great, safe, quiet, amazing. Check out the horse riding tour, zipline AND via ferrata are a must. Eat at Paca Paca, and Huacatay in Urumbamba...Dee will point you in the right direction. We cannot wait to return, we highly recommend staying here. Definitely one of the best places we've stayed during our world travels (if not THE best).

Absolutely perfect! The house is very clean and Dee is very friendly and helpful at all times. Definitely I will be back. A++ experience. You must go!

Great place with plenty of space for our group (5 adults). Beautiful nature all around. Dee made sure we always had our needs/questions addressed. A must stay for anyone traveling to Machu Picchu or just passing through beautiful Sacred Valley.

Stayed for a very short time. The accommodations are safe, clean and welcoming. Great place to stay if you have to catch a flight the next morning. Cristian was very accommodating and friendly. With we could have more time to stay and chat. There was a slight mix-up with the pick-up. We ended up taking an airport taxi which wasn't a big deal.

Cristian and Kelly are absolutely amazing! They picked me up from the airport right on time, and really made me feel so welcomed! Their house is beautiful and very clean. Breakfast was great. Overall, I felt as though I was staying with friends more so than at a bed and breakfast. We spent time at the beach, taught me how to surf, out to eat, showed me around Lima. I can't say enough about how wonderful they are!

You would be 100% mad to stay any where else in Peru. Why miss out on 2 A1 hosts who offer you the comfort of their own home. THE best hosts that are on airbnb and with local knowledge your stay can't be anything but superb. We took advantage of the airport pickup and drop off...and we went surfing with Christian. Our rooms were spacious and oh so comfy! So again, Christian & Kelly thanks for wonderful first visit to Lima

I primarily chose this Airbnb for the relatively close location to the airport and the driver (that I arranged for a fee ahead of time.) I appreciated having someone I could trust picking me up at the airport in the middle of the night. They're not really set up for" tourists" so much--it's more of a transit place with a few other rooms for rent as well. I did spend a second night so visited a couple of museums the next day...the Larco Museum is not too far away and stays open until 10pm (12 sol taxi ride). Christian was very friendly and gave me tips for restaurants and foods I had to try! Great breakfast, wifi worked well and showers were hot! ... Overall, this location is not for strolling around, they are close to the old Zoo but the neighborhood is not overly desirable--it is as advertised-an "airport layover" transit Airbnb and I recommend it for that reason.

Cristian and Kelly were excellent hosts. Their driver picked us ip late at the airport for our on time flight, he graciously came back at 2:30 am to get our friend as her flight was delayed 3 hrs. They helped get us a great driver to downtown Lima. Breakfast was wonderful and they even packed a bf the next day for our early am flt. They take an interest in their guests and really care. They r only 10 mins from airport so it works great for early and late flights. Thank u again. We survived the Inka Trail. Kind regards, Susane and Mark

Beautiful home and room within a safe gated community. Cristian was extremely friendly and made sure I got breakfast even though I was leaving for the airport very early in the morning.

Very nice driver who drove us both ways to the airport. Clean beds, simple stay for the night.

The home is very clean and quiet. I recommend this place is you want something near the universities or shopping center. I didn't receive a key to lock my door, but everyone was trustworthy in the house. I think they could use more keys to accommodate all their guests. Other than that, it was a nice home and I would stay there again.

Great location and the room is huge! + ocean view, recommended if you are staying in Barranco

Carla was an excellent host. Even though she was away during our stay, she was very responsive and attentive. She arranged an airport pickup also, which was helpful as we were arriving late at night. Brigita was kind and helpful, too - showing us around the place, helping with laundry, and always greeting us with a smile. Overall, description is spot on. Neighborhood is delightful - safe, lots of great eats all around, a 30-40 min walk to Miraflores, access to public transportation and lots of taxis. Beds were very comfortable, clean bathroom/shower, and we spent a lot of time in the covered terrace area, enjoying a great view. Definitely would recommend a stay here - top floor was perfect for a family.

Highly recommended!

Our stay at Carla's house was awesome. The house is super nice and the view of the terrace was great. Carla's mom and thier house keeper were very nice. They do not speak any English, so there was a language barrier but it was okay. Barannco was a very nice area. The other girls staying at the house for school and work were extremely warm and welcoming. They invited us to join their party and fed us! Over all: great experience. Only thing is: I didn't realize how far it was from the airport. It took almost 2 hours in traffic!

Host was great at communication and her family helped us a lot. Hot water. Nice room. Great location!

Oh my goodness. I can't rave enough about our stay at Carla's place. Perhaps I didn't read closely enough the description, but I did not realize our room was on the top floor with a lovely breezy sitting area and big terracotta deck overlooking the sea. Yes, these are common areas but while there, we had it pretty much to ourselves. Glass of wine warming the tongue, ensconced in ocean air, cool tiles in bare feet. Just wonderful. Neighbourhood is also fantastic. Excellent and thought provoking mural art, great bars and coffee shops. Carla was not there, and Brigida the housekeeper and Mamma Grosa do not speak English. It was a little difficult, but we managed just fine. Brigida is a gem. She stayed up with us the night we left to watch for the taxi we ordered. It didn't show up so she walked us to the Main Street and negotiated a ride for us. All this at 12:30 at night. Specifically: Very clean. Room had loft with two single beds so great for family. Nice kitchen and space in fridge to use for cooking. Excellent location, close walking to everything including a big modern grocery store. Aesthetically very pleasing - a beautiful home. Brigida cleans during your stay, always spotless. Thanks, Carla. I will recommend your home for sure. What a wonderful sanctuary after camping and hiking for 5 days through the Salkantay Pass.

Staying at Carla's house in Barranco couldn't have been a more perfect way to see Lima. The location is beautiful I never got used to how impressive the view was. It was easy to walk around the malecon to Miraflores and San Isisro. Communicating with Carla was easy and she was very helpful and always kind. Barranco is a wonderful neighbourhood with great food. I hope I can re visit again soon.

A great place! My friend and I loved the location and the view from the patio. Barranco is a great neighborhood to explore!

I really cozy taste very fresh distribution of the house, very comfortable, large kitchen dining room with sea view ... located in a place away from the noise of cars and city, is about 8 minutes from the town where you recharge your victuals and where you find everything q is trade, is about 3 minutes walk from the beach. It is appropriate to rest and relax extensively ... and all for a good price ... thanks for your kindness aptenciones and Giovanna and greetings to Don Pancho.

Giovanna went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. The public access Las Pocitas beach is right in front of the property, and mototaxis are usually waiting there, providing convenient access to Mancora. Las Pocitas beach is much more private and a little cleaner than the main beach at Mancora. The balcony is sunny with ocean views during the day and an amazing view of the stars at night. Loved the granite showers. We would definitely like to stay at Giovanna's beach house again.

We came to Mancora for a break by the ocean and were so lucky to stay in a relaxing, welcoming and homely apartment. Giovanna was so kind and happy to help with anything we needed. The apartment was in a beautiful location with an amazing view of the ocean. We were lucky enough to see whales playing in the ocean. It is also close enough to easily stroll into the centre of town and nearby restaurants on the beach (or you can cook your own food in the nice, well equipped kitchen as we did). Highly recommended - we didn't want to leave!

We stayed at both of Giovanna's houses. Both were equally wonderful. This one is just a few steps above the other. Both have incredible views. This one was our favourite but truthfully I would stay in either. The eating are is outside only here, but in the shade so always pleasant. 5 stars! Thank you Giovanna.

Giovanna really is a natural host. She made us feel welcome and cared for long before we arrived. Smiley and energetic, she has a charming personality and was delightful to be around. We stayed five days. When we finally arrived, she let us stay in the upper appartment until our house would be ready (a family was leaving that day) One of our daughters (6 and 4) was feeling very ill all day long and Giovanna has been comforting and helpful, providing us with some fresh camomil to make herbal tea (stomach ache) and plenty of water (nope, can't drink the tap water as it is too mineralized). She had previously arranged for a mototaxi (that works with her) to come and get us at the bus station (a one-way ride costs 6 soles). This person also offers to buy and deliver the guest's groceries on call, which is very convenient when one doesn't want to go to Mancora (which is a very ruff, loud and sometimes a bit scary mototaxi ride away). The house itself is perfect for a family or for a couple. The kingsize bed in the matrimonial room has quite a firm mattress, which I appreciated. Just outside the ''kids'' room, there are downward stairs so maybe not so appropried if toddlers tend to want to walk out the room at night. That room as two bunk beds (2 x 2). Our kids used the two lower ones and slept very well. Both rooms have a private bathroom with shower. The kitchen was basically but sufficiently equiped and We used the blender a lot (fresh fruit smoothies each morning). The sea view is amazing and having a private terrasse is great. The washing machine was also a plus! The reliability of the wifi connection is not always great. I wasn't sure about the beach stretch before because i've heard of it's ''rockyness'' but au contraire! It is very enjoyable both for kids and adults to relax in the little pools created when it's low tide. And those rocks are full of wild life, mostly crabs which are so much fun to watch!!! That is without mentioning the sea birds... beautiful! The kids loved it. Expect a bit of walking up to get back to the house (5 min) I'd go back in a heart beat.

Very nice place near a family and peaceful beach. The house is very spacious and the environment is very safe and quiet. the sound of the sea is heard and is ideal for relaxing! Giovanna super-prepared, and very cool! We return there if given the chance!

We arrived in Máncora by bus. Giovanna sent Señor Pancho to pick us up in his Moto Taxi. He drove us down a bumpy dirt road to Las Pocitas. Giovanna met us at the gate which is across the street from the beach access. It is a short trek up hill, but no problem, Pancho carried our luggage. It was a simple but roomy and well equipped house. Everything worked well. It had a great view of the ocean from the terrace. Unfortunately, no view of the sunset in January (if ever). Once or twice we could hear a party down on the beach, but usually we only heard waves. We always felt safe. We have been in at least 25 airbnbs. Giovanna is the best hostess we have had. She never intruded, but she was always available by phone, or email, or a walk down the stairs. Friendly, happy, intelligent, and helpful.

We had a great stay in Giovanna's house with a nice view on the ocean from the terrace. The access to Las Pocitas beach is literally across the road so you could not hope for a better location. Giovanna was very kind and informed us about the surroundings upon arrival. She also assisted us to get to and from Mancora's bus station. Would definitely come back - highly recommended.

What a great place to stay in and Victoria and Luis were just magnificent hosts! We felt like being a part of the family. And the food was really tasty! Best place to stay in Ica, if not Peru

Our hosts Luis and Victoria were extremely helpful through out our time here in Ica, they really made us felt as we were home and part of the family. The house was clean and beautiful, the location was close to the Las Dunas Hotel which happens to be one of the bus drop off location which made getting to the house much easier. It has been an wonderful experience and we really enjoyed our time here. I give my upmost recommendation and would for sure return if given the chance.

Our time spent at Luis and Victoria ' s was wonderful. They were friendly hosts that went out of their ways to make us feel at home. They helped us setup our Huacachina tours and would call taxis and arrange prices with the drivers for us. Their home is a beautiful oasis in admits the sand dunes. We always felt very safe in their neighborhood. Our family enjoyed relaxing in their large pool, patio area and gardens. Our bedroom and bathroom was large and comfortable. Their home had everything we needed to have enjoyable stay. Thank you so much Luis and Victoria ! We hope to have the pleasure of staying with you again one day.

Amazing place beautiful hacienda as described. Friendly and warm couple Vicki and Lucho made every second in ica a wonderful memory.

Luis made us very welcome and is a good host. He collected us and dropped us off at the bus station and was very helpful with information about the area. He arranged a dune buggy trip and taxi to a vineyard for us .We were able to use the kitchen to cook an evening meal. We were provided with an excellent breakfast each morning.The garden area is lovely and we enjoyed relaxing there. However the pool was not the cleanest.The room was a reasonable size but fairly basic and needs to be painted and made more comfortable. The bathroom also needs a bit of TLC. The shower isn't wonderful, either cold water or hot water but low pressure. On one occasion there was no water at all. We enjoyed our stay and while we would recommend to others we did feel the pricing was on the high side.

As always, Luis and Victoria were fantastic hosts! We have stayed here numerous times alone, and with guests of our own. Everyone always leaves happy. We look forward to our next time in Ica as we know we will feel like home with them!

Luis y Victoria's home is like a home away from home. The house, garden,pool area and rooms are all very neat and clean. Luis encouraged us to go sand boarding on the dunes and we were happy that we went ! On our way back through Ica even though they didn't have a room available for us they helped us find a place to stay and invited us over for Pisco sours ! The food was delicious and the company at Luis y Victoria's was perfect ! We highly recommend. :-)

Luis and Victoria were incredibly kind hosts, and we loved everything about our stay. They were both great hosts. The breakfast was delicious, the beds were very comfortable, and their home is beautiful. Luis took us on a personalized tour that included a museum, multiple wineries, lunch, dune buggying, and sandboarding for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend staying here!

Robert was a perfect host, he showed us everything we needed in the house and gave us some recommendations for dinner and lunch. The view from the terrace is amazing. You can see the volcano Misti. The house is located near the city center in a quiet neighbourhood. I'd recommend this place to everyone who wants to discover Arequipa.

A lovely, quiet, clean and welcoming space!

Roberts mom Veronica was wonderful and very caring. She doesn't speak english and we speak limited spanish but we were able to communicate well enough. We ended up calling her Tia (aunt) and she really made us feel welcome. Good location, less than minute walk to square

We had a lovely stay at Roberts place. Although we never met Robert as he was away, Veronica was very accomodating and kind. The location was great and facilities perfect for a quick stay in Arequipa!

Robert was away during my stay, but his mother made me very welcome and allowed me to practice my Spanish :-) The room was large and the bed very comfortable. The rooftop terrace was an excellent place to chill out both in the mornings and the evenings. The location is excellent for exploring Arequipa.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay (3 nights) at Robert and Veronika's house. It is beautiful and clean, has a lovely rooftop with great views in a great location in the historic area of Arequipa so easy to walk everywhere. They have excellent WIFI and can help you with suggestions on where to eat and also arranged a taxi for me to get to airport. Having access to a washing machine and clothes line an additional bonus. Robert was not home during my stay but handled all my enquiries as he has excellent English in a very timely manner. He gave excellent instructions on how to locate house (which is off street so you get reduced street noise - another great bonus) as you need to note this as not per map or address on Web. Finally Veronika - absolutely charming, sweet and made my stay so homely and relaxing. I speak no Spanish but was able to communicate with her as she has some English, lots of heart and soul and we did a lot of smiling, laughing and the odd (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translation was required. I would thoroughly recommend you stay here when you visit this beautiful city. I will have very fond memories of this city and a lot I can attribute to Veronika. Muchos Gracias Veronika and Robert xxx

We stayed 3 nights at Roberts place and I really recommend staying at this place. It is a quiet place at only 5-10 min walk to the plaza and had a great rooftop. Robert and his family are very open en willing to help in any case. He showed us the way to the best cevicheria and restaurant to eat cuy. He also gave us some typical fruits from Peru to try out. Really great! Robert is a biker as well, so if you want to visit the town by bike, he can show you around and give some tours. Don't hesitate to stay at this place!

This place was perfect. I didn't get to meet Robert but his mom was there to answer questions and she could have been sweeter. Robert was also available by message the whole time. Location is perfect, easy walking distance to everything in the historic center. Having the available washing machine, open kitchen and terrace were also big perks. Be sure to check the message Robert sends for the address. We had communicated months early and I forgot so I just went to the address on the 'homepage'. For some reason they aren't the same. But, overall a great place!

I enjoyed a lot the hospitality of Anahi and her family. She commanded a taxi for me for the transport from the airport to the house and vice versa. In general, the communication was great ! She gave me a lot of good information about where to go and to eat in Cusco. The room is very clean, you have a magnificent outlook over the city. But take some warm clothes because in the morning and after sunset it will be cold in Cusco ;-)

Anahi and Antonio are so generous and Nice ! Everything was great and they gave us a lot of advices to make our trip better ! I recommand to go and stay with them ! Great family !

very clean and lovely place as well as the hosts. thank you so much.

Anahi's place was very nice and comfortable. Anahi was very welcoming and was more than willing to share tourist info about the city. She sat down with as when we arrived and had a map and pointed out different tourist sites and great restaurants. She was very helpful if we had any questions and her husband very kind and helped us bring our luggage to our room. I would definitely recommend Anahi's place. It's the best airbnb I've ever been to.

Anahi lives in a beautiful home that overlooks a park and the city of Cusco. She went out of her way to accommodate my friend and myself. Check in was at 9 am, but she let us in at 6am and treated us to coca tea to help us acclimate to the altitude. We rested in her living room until the previous guests checked out. Her husband was very sweet and quickly prepared the room for us. The room was clean, and the kitchen and terrace had stunning views. Anahi also helped us plan some of our days and sites we should visit, and how we could get to each one. Anahi and her husband were always available, and I couldn't thank them more!

Anahi is a really kind, helpful and funny person. She tries to help you wherever she can! She also kept our luggage for two days when we have been to Machu Picchu. The rooms were cleaned every day! Everything was just fantastic!!

We had a great time here and felt right at home. Very friendly and welcoming family and they helped us wherever they could. The view from the roof was amazing. Would definitely stay here again!

Coming in for the first time in Peru is a mix of everything: excitement, anticipation, uncertainty, and adventure. Anahi definitely made an amazing impression of what Peru is all about: warm, friendly, and it just feels like home away from home.

Everything Perfect! Could not have been better! Highly recommended. Victor is a very interesting guy and speaks English very well. Hope to see you soon Victor. I only wish I could have stated longer.

Victor's place was clean, safe, and in a perfect location. I was able to walk to the beach, Parque Kennedy, and Larcomar in minutes. He was extremely easy to contact and the rides offered to/from the airport were on time and convenient. Victor even let me keep my bags in a safe place all day since my flight wasn't until very late at night. Couldn't recommend the place more. Thanks for the stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Victor's place. He is a very thoughtful and gracious host, happy to help with anything! The room was very clean and comfortable. Exactly as it looks in photos and right in the centre of Miraflores so the main attractions are only a short walk away with cafes and restaurants just outside the front door. If you need an airport transfer I would highly recommend getting Victor to organise his cousin Manuco as your driver. Our flight was late and bags took much longer than usual so we were worried he might not be there. Thankfully he was waiting with a sign and got us out of the airport nice and quick. We asked for Manuco to take us back to the airport after our stay. He organised our pick up time based on traffic and flight time. We didn't have to think or worry about a thing. Manuco charges only 18 soles each way from airport so definitely worth it. Overall we had a great stay and would certainly stay at Victor's place again.

Great central location in very comfortable and clean small Art Deco building. Near lots of delicious restaurants. Victor offered we use his driver in arriving and departing Lima and it was very convenient!

Excellent place, great location and very fluid and fast communication with the host. This place is located on a very nice street with restaurants, super markets and shopping stores at walking distance. Public transportation is incredibly well accessible and a rental bike company is only two blocks away from the house. We rented two bikes for 30 soles each one and went to barrancos and maybe two miles north the Malecon. We had a wonderful experience staying at Victor's studio.

Victor was a great host! Very communicative and the apartment was in the perfect location. Will definitely stay there again.

The studio was just as described in the posting, and very clean. Victor was a gracious host, and even waited up for us when my flight into Lima arrived very late due to delays. He also arranged for an early taxi to the airport and the courteous driver arrived not only on time, but a little early! Recommended.

Our stay with Victor was great ! Definitely the best quality/price lodging you'll find in Lima and especially in Miraflores. Easy walking to Surquillo market or Barranco. The only inconvenient would be the noise early in the morning, but it's often the case in South America ;-)

Jackie and Yarma make there place feel like your own home, plus it's in an great location, very safe and comfortable! The house is always spotless and the other guests are all very friendly if there are any guests, I think I had the whole house to myself last stay! I would Definitely recommend staying here if your unsure.

Wonderful Hosts. Jackie and Yarma helped us get around Lima with good tips and information and even helped us take print outs... Great experience and will definitely stay at their place if we visit Lima again.

We had such a positive experience staying with Jackie. Her place was clean and located in a great area. Close to all of the hotspots in Miraflores. She was extremely helpful in terms of making recommendations, giving directions and booking taxis. Her breakfasts were delicious as well. Thank you Jackie for making our stay in Miraflores so easy and comfortable!

We had a great time chatting to Jhesu. He was extremely helpful, I wanted to move into a single room (for 2 nights)after 3 nights & he was happy to oblige. Soft white rolls with butter were a highlight for breakfast & our rooms were clean & tidy.

Yarma and Miriam were great knowledgeable hosts. Their house is located in a very safe area of Lima, we had no problem walking around at night time. Highly recommend their place, thank you again for all your help! :)

Staying here was really great. Jackie and Yarma made me feel so very welcome. They were very helpful with anything I needed and provided a map and directions to everywhere I wanted to go. The breakfast was also great (eggs, bread, jam, fruit, juice, coffee and tea). They were extremely accommodating to all my needs. I needed to leave earlier than the normal breakfast time and they left it out for me early. They were also very responsive to emails as this was a last minute booking. I would highly recommend staying here. It's located in Miraflores about a 10 minute walk from Parque Kennedy and also about a 10 minute walk to the beach.

Jhesu was very welcoming and friendly, provided us with all the necessary info about the place, the city, organized the driver we needed, suggested a super place to stay in other city and in general was a supernice host. I would say the Pier 242 Miraflores is something in between a hostel and a homestay, nevertheless, it is very privat, in a great location and very good value for the money. Jhesu also suggested his favorite places to go fur lunch and it was fantastic! we appreciate a lot the time we spent there! greets from Latvia!

This was the perfect place to stay in Lima. The location was ideal and Jhesu was an excellent host. Definitely the best Air BnB experience I've had to date. He provided a map and advice on restaurants, getting around, and activities. He knows the city well and has great culinary taste. I wish I was there for the pisco making class. When we stopped back in Lima after Cusco he allowed us to store our bags for our quick trip to Huacachina.

We've been really surprised arriving at the house at the bottom of a big sanddune... a warm welcome with a pisco from the local region. A nice "cafesito" boiled by Victoria in the morning after having a bath in the pool. The new year 2015 with a good "Chives Regal" in the morning and a great firework from the neighbor (a big expensive hotel-las Dunas). Everytime again..

Wow this is what airbnb is all about! We booked this room last minute on our way to Ica from Chincha! Juan's parents, Luis & Victoria welcomed us with open arms and even had a cold glass of maracuya waiting for us! The bedroom was comfy, clean and the bathroom was shared with another room. Luis and Victoria have all the in's and outs of Ica as they are from there. Luis took us over to Huacachina to enjoy the sand dunes! He even recommended us a local ceviche place for lunch, it was AWESOME! It was like our version of Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" and Luis was our guide. In the morning Victoria had a great breakfast for us ready to go, it was a typical tamale from the area. Don't hesitate to book this place for an authentic experience. Wished we could have stayed longer! If we're ever back in Ica we'll definitely stay here again!

This is a home stay in a pool house with a shared bath between two rooms. Victoria (Juan's mom) greeted us with Chicha Morada and speaks some English - so she is a good partner to practice Spanish with. Juan's dad, Luis, drove us to the bus station and helped us get tickets to Paracas. We stayed one night and appreciated the hospitality and sand dunes to climb up and see the sunset across the street. Friendly dogs, cat and parrot too! Please note that the shower was not hot if you are looking for that. Overall a cozy bed in a beautiful hospitable home is what awaits you here.

Luis and Victoria are amazing!! It was one of the best airbnb we've never done! The house is absolutely beautiful with a stunning view on the dunes. I had a little incident during my trip and they both cared of me, took us with their car to buy medecines and to the bus station to go back to Lima. Thank you very much for everything and for your help. I highly recommend them!! :-)

Luis and Victoria are amazing hosts and their home is like a small oasis in the middle of Ica. Victoria cooked very delicious lunch and dinner for us and we truly felt "at home" while staying with them. Luis organized a vineyard and sand buggy/sand boarding tour for us. The latter, we would definitely recommend to all other guests. All in all an amazing experience with super friendly and welcoming hosts!

If you are traveling to Ica or Huacachina, THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY! Victoria and Luis treated us like family and helped organize our tour to the sand dunes at Huacachina and a tour of the Ballestas Islands and Paracas Reserve. I had concerns that this home would be far away from activities in Ica, but there is a Market and stores within walking distance. Also, I was hopeful there would be other guests there, and indeed there were travelers from Costa Rica, Canada, and Peru staying there so we didn't feel "lonely". The only bothersome thing was that Luis/Victoria needed to let us in and out of the front gate because it is locked, but I understand that this enhances the safety of the home.

We stayed for 1 night on Xmas eve and this was the best airbnb I have ever had! Luis organized all of our tours for us and they were incredible. The house was a paradise and I wish I was able to stay for longer. Luis and Victoria are the nicest hosts and they even invited us to join their family for a home cooked Xmas eve dinner. I'm so happy we stayed there and I want to return to Peru just to stay there again!

I arrived at Luis and Vicoria's home covered in dust and feeling the effects of a day in the Nazca desert. it was my birthday and when Luis & Victoria heard so, my birtday celebration started. Thank you, both. Being at your home I felt at home. Victoria is a terrific cook and Luis an excllent tour coordinator. Their home is gorgeous, safe and the pool... nice! I made two great friends.

This is my first visit to Peru and my stay over at Harold/Maria has been fantastic. They made me feel like family. The room was on the top floor next to the terrace that looked out on both the east/West sky. So you get to see sunrise/sunset. I'm vegan, so Maria made sure to have only fruits and vegetable available for me to eat and that made me look forward to my breakfast/dinner with pleasure. Harold was my guide and GPS. He was very helpful and showed me all the interesting places to visit in lime. So I highly recommend to stay at their place while in Lima. I was very blessed and happy to have chosen to stay with Harold/Maria.

Harold and his mom were great hosts! We felt very welcome and everything was very good. The food was super yummi and Harold did everything he could to make our stay a great one. Definitely a recommendation!

Nice place to visit friendly harold is a friendly guy and helped me alot. Rooms are good and they food was great if you visit lima try happy llamas

Harold and Maria's place is great! They were very accommodating to our late arrival and early check out, perfect place and hosts :)

Stayed here for a night in March 2017. Lovely place with friendly people. The food was delicious. The only reason for 4 stars was because I thought the place had a dryer (just coming from the Amazon and leaving the next day I needed my clothes washed). Although they didn't they did make every effort to help with that. They even called and told me I left my charger in the room. Would stay here in the future if on a less busy schedule

Great location in Lima Room was perfect for a quick layover Small but functional. Harold was helpful $50 soles from airport to apt. $25 soles via uber back to airport.

Harold was very accessible by phone when we need a Taxi or other information. He communicated with us regularly up to our arrival. They accommodated us when we arrived very early in the morning. To top it all, they served us good food and variety fresh fruits. Harold and Maria are excellent hosts!

Harold's place is great! His mom and him were very welcoming and attentive. The place is great and food was delicious. Definitely would recommend.

I loved this place. The house is really special, so cozy and charming. Eibhlin is a great host, relaxed and helpful. The location is perfect for exploring the city. Enjoyed my stay here and highly recommend this Airbnb!

Eibhlin made us welcome. Her house was undergoing roof repairs which were delayed due to the rainy weather. Therefore we were upgraded to the downstairs bedroom which was a lovely large room with a good view.

When my sister and I arrived here we could not believe how incredibly beautiful this home was. It is colourful and vibrant and very homey, even better in real life than the photos. Eibhlin was a great host and gave us some great recommendations about where to eat and what to visit. She was extremely helpful, and called us a cab without us even having to ask twice. It was better than we had anticipated and we felt like we were at home. The only thing worth mentioning is that Cusco gets cold at night- at least when we stayed in late June- and we got a little cold in our room, so bring an extra blanket if you get cold easily. Overall, the shower was always warm and it was lots of fun being around Eihblin and her little one as well as the other couple who were staying in the other room. I would not want to have stayed anywhere else in Cusco. The neighbourhood was just incredible with amazing views from our bedroom window. Wonderful home, we would highly recommend to anyone staying in Cusco.

Eibhlin's place is such a jewel in Cusco! We loved this place that is full of artistic decorations. The communication with Eibhlin went really well. She prepared coca tea for my friend who got sick due to the high altitude. Her son is sooo cute and quite. Would definitely recommend for all kinds of travelers!

For those of you looking for a place to stay in Cusco, Eibhlin's cute house is so perfect! She is so kind, the house is so beautiful, and it's so cool because it feels Peruvian and not touristy. Her child was extremely well behaved and so not a problem to stay with at all. Going to and from the house was super easy, and was less than a five minute walk to anything you could need. The room we stayed in was so cute and we would absolutely stay there again!

Great place to stay. Totally recommended!

Our stay with Eibhlin was super uncomplicated and easy. She is an awesome host and tried to make everything to our convenience. We would definitely go again to sleep at her place next time we are in Cusco.

Eibhlin's place is very beautiful and cozy, she lives with her awesome kid. It's very clean and there is a great coffee.

My husband and I had a memorable stay at Luis Alberto's family home on the island of Amantani. Luis Alberto picked us up from the Juliaca airport and brought us to the pier where we took a boat to the island. His mother, Fernanda, who is the friendliest person I've ever met, met us at the pier and took us to her home which was a short uphill walk. Note that even with a direct taxi, traveling from the Juliaca airport to their home is at least 1.5-2 hours. Fernanda is an excellent cook and made us three meals a day. She truly makes you feel like family. We enjoyed getting to know the whole family and the island of Amantani. The room was cozy and the shower was always warm. Come and enjoy an authentic experience on this beautiful Lake Titicaca island.

Lovely family to stay with! They were very welcoming and very informative! Food tasted amazing, and everything was very comfortable. I have been in peru for over a week and they had consistently great hot water pressure which was amazing!! The only negative is the traveling arrangements to and from there. Make sure everything is set up before you go, if not communicate to Luis's family and they will assist you. Will definitely refer

*English* My girlfriend and I truly had an wonderful 3-day experience at the Munay Lodge with Fernanda, Luis and the whole family. From day 1 we were treated like best friends and family, never like strangers or wandering travelers. In my 3 years experience of using Airbnb, I've never felt as welcomed, invited and cared for as we were at the Munay Lodge. From the delicious home cooked meals to the lovely conversations and moments, it was an unforgettable experience on Amantani Island/Lake Titicaca with the family. They will forever be near and dear to our hearts! The island and lake are incredibly picturesque and breathtaking in their beauty, and the family goes above and beyond to ensure you see the most beautiful aspects of each. I can't think of a better way to escape the polluted and chaotic nature of modern city life than to go to such a tranquil, simple and clean place like Amantani and the Munay Lodge. If you are in Peru or the Andes region, trust me when I say you'll be very glad you visited Amantani, Lake Titicaca and the Munay Lodge. --- *Espanol* Una expreriencia inolvidable nuestra estadía en munay lodge, la señora fernanda nos espero con un delicioso almuerzo, ella y su familia son muy lindas personas nos trataron excelente su hijo Luis fue por nosotros hasta puno y nos llevó hasta su casa, nos ayudo con el equipaje ,muy atentos en todo, compartimos momentos bonitos como si fueramos parte de ellos se sintio mucho el calor de hogar, todas las comodidades a nuestro alcance, sin dejar de mencionar impresionante vista que tiene la casa a la naturaleza y al lago titicaca definitivamente volvere es un lugar magico.

Our stay at Munay Lodge with Fernanda, Luis Alberto and Jose Alberto was our best stay at our entire trip to Peru. We felt at home and warmly welcomed from the very first moment and Fernanda and her two sons really took good care of us. They gave us a lot of local experiences at the island; guided tours, swimming in the lake, working in the fields. They really included us in their daily lives. Fernanda made very delicious and varied meals for us of their own vegetables and fresh fish from the harbour. The house is beautifully located with sea view and near the lake. The house is surrounded with beautiful flowers which Fernanda decorates the kitchen and the room with for the guests to feel welcome and happy. The room was big and clean and with large beds and a sea view. Also a really nice bathroom. Fernanda, Jose and Luis made us feel good in their home and made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend staying at Munay Lodge!

Casa Munay is a great place to stay! Luis and his family were so wonderful! He answered all of our questions, met is at the hotel and helped us get to the dock for the tourist boats. We took a trip to Uros floating islands and then went on to Amantani, where Casa Munay and Luis' family are located. We were met at the pier by Luis' sister-in-law, Pilar. She brought us to the house, served lunch, and chatted with us for a while. She was great company! We had a private room with a double bed and had lunch on a cute balcony with a view of the lake. The food was vegetarian, which Luis explained was common, and it was delicious! His mother, Fernanda was incredibly sweet and an excellent host. Luis took us to tour the island in the evening. The next day, after a great breakfast, they made sure we caught our boat to Taquile. The house does not have central heat but we stayed warm with plenty of blankets and the bathroom is a separate little building that was shared with the family and it was very clean and had wonderfully hot water. Staying with Luis and his family was truly one of the best experiences we had in Peru and we would love an opportunity to return someday!

it was a beautiful place indeed. Luis' brother met with me and made sure i got to the dock for the boat to Amantani. host mother was absolutely wonderful and kind. the bedroom was comfortable and enough blankets were provided for the zero degree weather. it is the dry season in August and there were some issues with the water supply (no shower). i do want to point out that getting in and out of the island cost about 40 soles per person and charging a phone/camera at the house cost a little extra money. i enjoyed my 2-night stay.

I HIGHGLY recommend staying with Louis Alberto's family! We had an amazing homestay! We are a family with three teenagers. We made the reservations about three days before we arrived, and Louis immediately answered all of my questions during the reservation process (in English). He met us about 7 a.m. at our hotel the morning of departure for Amantani Island. He took our luggage and stored it in his apartment so that we only had small backpacks with personal items, to take with us, while he booked us a cab which took us to the boat pier. After he dropped off our luggage at his apartment in Puno, he met us at the boat pier and helped us purchase our boat tickets (30 soles round trip each). The boat trip was about three hours (about 15 other passengers on board). After about an hour, we stopped at the Uros Floating Islands for about an hour tour. We enjoyed seeing and learning about the islands and the families. By the way, make sure you bring enough cash for your stay, as there are no ATM machines on Amantani. (There are many craft items both places. We also had hot chocolate at the Plaza and I rode a donkey the last bit to the top of Amantani to the ruins--altitude made me tired of walking!). When we arrived at Amantani, Fernanda greeted us with hugs and kisses like we were one of the family! She was so friendly! She had fresh flowers decorating our rooms, and had an AMAZING lunch awaiting our arrival. We enjojed listening to her and our son conversing in Spanish (Ryan being our translator). She told us about life on the island. After lunch, we went down to feed her sheep with her. Afterwards, our family hiked to the top of Amantani to the ruins, close to 14,000 feet. On the way back to her home, it rained, so we stopped at the plaza for some hot chocolate with friends we had met. When the rain stopped, we went back to Fernanda's home. Again, she had an amazing dinner awaiting. We enjoyed conversation with her, her other son and wife, and her grandson during dinner. They are such a friendly family!!! Most of the conversation was in Spanish. She even taught us a few Quechua words. The hospitality was amazing! She put bottles filled with hot water to warm our bed. That, plus plenty of blankets kept us warm during the night. We had a nice breakfast and conversations during breakfast in the morning. Fernanda then had our family dress up in traditional clothes after breakfast! What fun! Our kids enjoyed playing with her 3 year old grandson while we were getting ready to leave. Fernanda accompanied us back to Puno. Louis Alberto met us in Puno, and suggested we go out for lunch before meeting him again at his apartment to pick up our luggage. He then called a cab to take us to the bus station....

Luis and his mom were super nice and helpful during our trip. This little is like paradise of earth. No matter how beautiful the picture seems to you, trust me, the actual place is 10 times better. And the food Luis family prepared for us, so fresh, so healthy, so delicate. Definitely recommend to stay with them!!! It's one of the best!!
