8/10
The apartment is huge and super nice! It could use a good floor and walls cleaning, but the bathrooms and bedrooms were clean. The bedrooms were super comfortable. Nice sheets and pillows!
The neighborhood is very interesting. Old town with derelict buildings around, with trees growing inside them, mixed in with modern hotels, restaurants and buildings. Great eating!
You are staying in amongst the locals and there is a marked divide of very poor locals and wealthy tourists. I had mixed feelings about this, as there were signs around showing opposition to gentrification. Hopefully putting money into the economy helps.
There are police stationed on the corner and this provides a sense of security. Without the police there, it would not feel super safe. We are a family of three and always felt safe and free to wander around, even at night, but mostly because there are a tonne of tourist police everywhere.
It is loud! The locals are very vocal. Garbage trucks rumble by and party crowds are out on the weekend. So, don’t expect a sound proof and quiet stay.
The roof top pool is more of a splash pool. It is tiny and is waist deep. Still, nice spot to sit and read.
Negative: communication was very poor. It felt like it was just super disorganized. No one sent us the check in codes. No one answered messages on VRBO, ever. Email response came days late. No one answers the phone. I had to call VRBO who put me in touch with someone (who had a Peru phone number). This worked.
