Hospedaje La Anita

My wife and I booked Hospedaje La Anita and really loved our stay there. It was the first night of our Peru + Bolivia trip and an excellent start to the 15 nights that followed in those countries. To start with, the owner, Alvaro, was incredibly helpful beforehand with all our conversations on WhatsApp. He was able to resolve any issues and concerns we had including finding an ATM nearby and also booking a taxi for us that picked us up from the airport. It did cost us more than if we booked one on the spot (or via Uber), but on our first day in South America we were happy to pay the ~20 Soles extra for the peace of mind. Alvaro showed us to our room and even helped us carry our heavy luggage. He even advised us on good places to eat in Lima and what some of the good dishes are to try. We noted these down and even used that list several days later while still in Peru. The restaurant he recommended was great and he also helped us communicating with the Uber drivers. In addition to that, he was so helpful as to get stuff ready in the kitchen for us as we were going to leave at 3am to catch a 3.45am bus to Paracas. He especially woke up for us and helped us get the breakfast ready. The simple breakfast was so delicious with butter, jam and cheese, which he said was home made from his family. In hindsight we wished we had made more of them. Little did we know how good the bread in Peru was! The room was very spacious and had 2 double beds, which were rather a little small, but we didn't mind and ended up sharing the same bed as it was really cold at night. The bathroom was probably the best we saw in our entire trip to South America with huge mirror, a lot of space, hot water and even a little make-up mirror. Only slight issue was that there was no heater and the windows were single glazed. But afterwards we discovered that none of our hotels had a heater or double glazing, so it was the norm in the area. Overall, it was an excellent start to our South American Adventure!
