I was not facing the street, but during breakfast, I could hear and see all the traffic gridlock. However, as someone who did a lot of walking, I found the location to be PERFECT to resturants, beach, parks and tourist spots. Taxi costs where cheap to other neighborhoods. My one big complaint, is the WIFI was kinda spotty and sometime it was down for hours. However, the hotel staff was beyond friendly and even let me use his phone as a hotspot so I can check in for my departing flight - the staff was beyond friendly. Only exception was a security guard who wanted me to give him some money I found on the street in front of the hotel, which I thought was unprofessional. I would stay here again when I return to Peru.
