Posts: 24Did you receive any indemnisation of the hotel? This persons receives 1500 USD but it was a big shit. And didn't cover the half of the real price but its better than nothing!

Another one have bribed the recepsiongirl with 100soles ,to get in to my room when I was out, that i know cause i meet this girl again later (it was the crazy Roxana from Pucallpa) And another time they tried to get me to pay 70 soles for a call i received to my room. So many bad experenses wit ML, and also heard 2 others guests camplained in the lobby while I stayed there. yeeea the cajas fuerte is a joke, so small , and easy to just pick up from your room and put in a small bag and out they go. yes very good location, thats true, but now I live even closer to the kennedy park at a department , safe, clean and quiet.
Well take care , but have fun

I can see where the luisa can be a problem but luckily I've never encountered it. I tip very well and I buy little gifts for the girls. The male cleaners can be a little sketchy but I've learned to deal with them as well. I offer them goodies/snacks when they clean my room.
How do you know they give keys to any girl that asks for it ? They are usually very strict with who goes in even if she is on your arm. No ID no visitor.
There are other options in miraflores but you must admit location is everything!

Well nothing new with the famous Maria Luisa, it happens all the time, with a lot of guests there. they give out my roomkey to people from the street that just ask for it , they giveout the keyto girls that have been with you and claime they are your girlfriend and let her have the key by her own , when you are out , The claeningstaff go thru your stuff when your not in , and they dont help you when you make complains, so yes be careful , I dont stay there anymore. Its so many others options in Lima . I am off to Thailand soon and back to Lima for all summer 2010, so may see some of you.

Posts: 24Be Careful With Maria Luisa
Be CAREFUL with this hotel: One traveller (I know him) has been robbed the last week (Tuesday night of the other week): When he was not in his room, someone has forced his door and robbed all his valuables!
There is no security in this hotel. The rober take the caja fuerte, unbelievable story but true!
It is the reason of the cheapness of this hotel.
And ask to this hotel about this story it is fucking true.

Posts: 61If you are nervous use your head. Just book a hotel for 2-3 nights. When you arrive in Lima, contact apartment owners. Look at apartments until you find something you like and thats that. I understand your concern. Flying into a new city. Maybe whats a good area/situation for me isn't perfect for you.

1. Taxi cab drivers- forget it. As far as comparing mongering in Peru with Europe..not alike at all.
2. Suggest you stay the first night in Miraflores, look at what downtown Lima is like and then make your decision.
3. Read the Lima thread.

Posts: 224old town?
When you say old town I suppose you mean downtown. There are cafes,
restaurants, and bars near by. Cucardas *****house is about six soles awy.
Emanuel, more expensive and overpriced *****house is less than nine soles
away. The exchange rate is one dollar to 2.90 soles. I know at least two
slightly run down hotels for less than 20 dollars a night, these hotels are
around Plaza san Martin, downtown. Hope that helps!

Posts: 235This is my first time to Lima. Normally I like to stay near the old town of a city If for no other reason just to have something to do when not looking for p4p. It looks as though Lima has an old town, but my question is does it have much going for it. Does it have outside cafes, Piazas or other social gathering places. My last question is how far is Miaflorews from the old town in Lima?
Am I being redundant. Hope not

Posts: 235Just rambeling
Over the past 15 years I have been to all Eastern European countries. I was in Prague when they were still dancing in the street, after the wall fell. Ok so that was more than 15 years ago, after all these years its hard to keep track. Back then and more recently in Portugal and just before that in Ukraine.- I always had the best luck, when looking for p4p to look for a cab driver that spoke a little english. It seems to me that they usually gave me the rates up front, so I could back out at that point if I wanted to. Then we would either go to a brothel were I could pick out someone to take back to my hotel or the cab driver would take me back to my hotel, and in a few minutes a knock on the door and I would have my choice of 2-3 ladies. At this point I was always required to pay up front. Any comments on my experiences in Europe compared to s. America? I have only been to 2 countries in s. And central America. Never been to Peru. But I'm really looking forward to my upcoming visit. Your comments are very welcomed.

Personal security is not a problem in the better areas of Lima Miraflores,S.I,La Molina,Surco,San Borja. Best to constantly change your routines and get friendly with the natives and the "cops on the beat".
No need to carry a gun in Lima unless you carry large amounts of cash or it is standard for your line of work. Armed guards/drivers are easy to come by.
Rent for a 1 bedroom will probably be $600.00 in central Miraflores up to about $1,600 on the Malecon.
After awhile it becomes "Lima Easy" for most of us!
