Cool place, great spot, very comfortable.
Ocean view apartment!
An Unforgettable Stay! 🌊🌟 This Airbnb was truly a slice of paradise! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean view—absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset. The atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, and exactly what we needed for a perfect getaway. What really made our stay exceptional was the host. They were incredibly welcoming, thoughtful, and responsive, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their local recommendations were spot-on and really enhanced our trip. The space itself was beautifully maintained, clean, and cozy with a vibe that made it easy to unwind. Whether we were sipping coffee on the balcony or falling asleep to the sound of the waves, every moment felt magical. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a serene escape with a host who truly cares. We can’t wait to come back!
Miraflores breathtaking park and ocean views
Views are marvelous and the spacious apartment is so comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in the apartment and watching surfers, joggers and the waves rolling in.
Best View in Barranco
Everything was perfect !The apartment was so beautiful. Everything felt new, the bed was so comfortable. Shower was hot, big tv, in a safe part of town that is easy to walk to restaurants in Miraflores or in barranco. The view was incredible. Highly recommend this place and would have stayed longer if I had the chance. Natsu was kind, accommodating and easy to communicate with. Also washer in-unit was very convenient.
Amazing Ocean View Apt. in San Isidro (A/C)
The place is located in a wonderful part of Lima that is safe and convenient. Grocery store at a walkable distance, ocean view, large terrace with a superb grill. The bed is comfortable, as is kitchen, stocked up with everything you need to cook a decent meal, or make that morning coffee. During our stay, we actually were able to cook some fantastic meals on that kitchen and feel ok while doing that. We all know how tricky cooking on someone else's kitchen can become :) Overall, we loved our stay. Monica is an outstanding host who takes care of you as if you were a part of her own family. We loved Lima, we loved Peru and Peruvian food, but most of all, we loved beautiful Peruvian people and relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Cozy rustic loft
We had a wonderful stay in Miraflores at Pedro Jose’s home! It was two blocks from the beautiful ocean walking path and very walkable to many restaurants and tourist attractions in the area. The apartment itself had a very comfortable bed and was very spacious for the two of us. Pedro Jose allowed us to keep our luggage in the apartment well past check-out due to our late flight, which was beyond kind and accommodating! We would highly recommend this unique apartment and would definitely stay again!
Loft in the heart of Miraflores
I had such a great experience staying here! The place was exactly as described – clean, stylish, and super comfortable. The location was perfect, close to everything I needed but still peaceful and quiet at night. The host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in really easy. I especially appreciated the little touches like extra towels, a stocked kitchen, and fast Wi-Fi. It truly felt like a home away from home. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a fantastic visit!

Your guide to Lima
All About Lima
Surrounded by scenic hills and valleys with the Pacific Ocean lapping its shores, Peru’s capital city Lima is a vibrant metropolis steeped in a rich history dating back thousands of years. Peppered through almost every district, honey-hued huacas — pyramid structures made of clay — stand testament to the country’s Incan heritage in their hundreds. Museo Larco and the National Museum of Archeology, Anthropology and History of Peru (MNAAHP) showcase Incan culture through ceramics, fabrics, and jewelry, alongside artifacts covering over 5,000 years of Peru’s history.
The Plaza de Armas, in the heart of Lima’s historic center, has been acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its cultural and historical importance. Here you’ll find some of the city’s most important buildings, including the Archbishop’s Palace and the Cathedral of Lima.
Miraflores is a chic neighborhood full of upmarket bars, fine dining restaurants, and the picturesque Parque Kennedy. It’s also where you’ll find the start of El Malecón, the city’s popular cliff-top scenic walkway. Barranco is Lima’s Bohemian district, which is home to lively bars and restaurants and the ornate Puente de los Suspiros (Bridge of Sighs).
Lima is regarded by many as the gastronomical capital of South America, boasting world-class restaurants alongside authentic local eateries and street vendors. Ceviche — raw fish cooked with citrus juices — is one of the most famous Peruvian dishes and can be found everywhere in the city, from fine dining restaurants to the more humble seafood stands in the seaside district of Chorrillos.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lima
Peru sits in the Southern Hemisphere, so the warmest months are December through February when you can expect very hot and sunny days. In January, Lima celebrates its founding in 1535 with Aniversario de Lima. The biggest events take place in Plaza de Armas with traditional dances, musical performances, and a huge fireworks display. In February, locals celebrate Pisco Sour Day in honor of the national drink. The most pleasant times to be in Lima are from September to November and March and April, when you can expect warm days without the stifling heat of summer. During September, the city hosts the annual Mistura — the largest food festival in South America.
If you arrive between May and November, you’re likely to experience “la garua” — a thick misty fog that hangs over the city, creating overcast skies and lowering the temperature, so pack layers to stave off the chill. Whenever you visit Lima, you’ll find a range of apartment and house rentals throughout the city.
Top things to do in Lima
El Malecón
El Malecón, the city’s spectacular six-mile cliff-top walkway, is the perfect place for a stroll. Along the way, you’ll find eight parks with lovely flower displays and many sculptures created by top Peruvian artists. You’ll also come across the Faro la Marina, Peru’s most famous lighthouse. There are many places to sit and enjoy the spectacular coastal views, as well as cafes if you need a coffee break. You can also cycle along the walkway as there are many places to rent a bike nearby.
The Larco Museum
Housed in an impressive 18th-century vice-royal mansion, the Larco Museum is regarded as one of the best museums in South America. It boasts the biggest collection of pre-Incan and pre-Columbian artifacts in the world, including ornate gold and silver jewelry, ceramics, burial masks, weapons, and textiles. All of these precious objects offer an insight into Peruvian culture and the Inca Empire.
Huaca Pucllana
In Miraflores, you’ll find Huaca Pucllana, the site of Lima’s most important ancient ruins. Central to the site is the Temple — a 70-foot-high pyramid built around 400 A.D. from millions of adobe bricks that was used for religious ceremonies.
