Il n'y a pas mieux pour Arequipa
Pros:

Nous avons choisi ce logement pour son emplacement sur la place principale. De ce fait nous avons pu visiter Arequipa à pieds. Nous l'avons également choisi pour la vue dégagée sur la place, la ville et le volcan. Le rooftop est accessible tout le temps. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux et si vous devez partir tôt ils vous en fournissent un à emporter.
L'agence de location de voiture pour visiter le parc national est à 20 mètres à pieds ce qui est vraiment top.
Le matin de notre départ ils nous avaient prévu un taxi pour l'aéroport.
Le personnel est adorable et serviable, un vrai plus ! Notre meilleur hôtel au Pérou.

Cons:

Nous étions deux et avons du espacer nos douches car l'eau chaude manquait un peu.

The perfect stay with a view!

To sit and have a drink and watch the sunset was everything!
Helpful and really nice staff.
