Hi Matt! Hope you enjoyed Lima. There are some nice places in Av. Pardo, a parallel of the main drag; Av. El Sol. It's a big wide street with a park in the center and big old Tudor style houses on each side. A few of them have been converted into hostels. They have big walled frontpatios and prices between 20 and 40 soles. You can also ask around for Hostal El Puma. I heard it was remodeled and has good parking space.
Good Trip!!

Hi Matt!
Estrellita is a good place to stay and it is cheep! I think it was 12,- Pesos includet breakfast and free tee all day! It is basic but good and friendly people! The streetname was Tullumayo 445 or 454 or 545, i am not sure. But when you drive uphill than it is just 50m before the slightly turn on the right hand side! Look out, it is just a smal dark sign on the wall!
Good luck, Appie!

Hello. This isn't relavent, but i was curious. Near the Plaza was a pub called The Crosskeys, and down the street was a 3 storie dance club called Mamma Africa's. Are they still there? The pub had a wall of photos of naked travellers on the Solar. I was last here late 1999.
Thanx!
