Monica Moreno Guerra runs this fantastic-value, safe and delightful guesthouse, which occupies a lovely 1920s casona on what has to be one of the most peaceful streets near the center of Lima — it’s a long cul-de-sac lined with gardens and other stately homes.
Her house, in the Santa Beatriz district, is full of Peruvian popular art and offers unusual amenities at such an economical rate, such as Internet access, satellite TV, and homemade pizzas and beer upon request. Monica is more than willing to help travelers with all their needs. The rooms are spacious and impeccable, with excellent bathrooms and hot water. The owner also has a one-bedroom suite (Suite del Parque) nearby, which is perfect for longer stays.
