My boyfriend and I spent two nights here. It's a really welcoming, cozy place. Raquel, the manager was really helpful with answering questions, offering to let us leave our baggage when we traveled to Colca Canyon, calling cabs and making suggestions. We took the cooking class and loved it. The instructor was sweet and really knowledgeable and the dishes we made were both delicious. We took the seafood class and made both ceviche and pescado ala macho (sp?). The class was also a great way to meet other guests and travelers. It's located a few blocks off of the main square, convenient but nice and quiet. The courtyard is fantastic, we spent a lot of our time there, comfortable seats and good wifi signal. The room was pretty basic but had everything we needed. The one constructive criticism I would make is better blinds, the sun rose at 5 am and our room was really light, would would make it a bit hard to sleep later if you're sensitive to that. It was a really pleasant stay, and a great deal. We're hoping to come back soon.
