This was my first time in Peru in 63 years. My stay with Lilian was more than I expected. She has a beautiful soul and her home is delightful. It is in a very quiet neighbourhood with lots of little parks and a corner shop. My huge room with a fan (which was very much appreciated) also had a big bathroom. The decor is very modern and tasteful. Everything is clean and comfortable. Lilian also provided bottled water, a small area with a fridge, microwave, plates, cutlery etc and everyday there was a flask of hot water so I could make tea. It was just perfect. It is a little walk away from the buses but Lilian was very happy to show me where they were and how to get to places including bigger shops. She even took me to Barranco on my first day. I wanted to hire a bike but she said she would lend me hers. I loved riding around Lima. It was an adventure in itself. She recommended a free tourist walk. She booked a museum visit for us. She is super kind and generous. I honestly could not have chosen better. I could not imagine a better way to start a Peruvian adventure. Muchas Gracias Lilian por todos.

A lovely family and a fantastic hostess! I stayed 2 weeks with the family and everything was just perfect. Lilian is such a sweet and caring person who is more than happy to help you with everything you need and who will make sure you make the best out of your stay. Most certainly, you will also have some interesting conversations, get to know Lilian and share your experiences.
The room is very spacious and clean and the bed is super comfortable. Very quiet neighborhood with all needs within a short distance. I highly recommend staying with her!
Muchas gracias por todo, Lilian! :)Host reply

Lilian is such a sweet hostess. All communication is straight and smooth , the room is spotless and all needs can be found in 10 mins distance for her place by foot. Unfortunately we only able to spend 3 nights with her. We did very much enjoy our stay! Muchas gracias Lilian, take care. :)

Super friendly, supportive, excellent communication, helpful when you have questions (even crazy stuff like when you need to get fingerprinted in a different country for paperwork back home), or simply looking for something to do she is happy to provide suggestions, info, maps and travel. Accommodations are nice, area is safe. Close to money exchange offices, banks, food markets, restaurants, and train station for easy transit.

I recently spent a month staying at the Gayoso residence and it was a delight. It's a beautiful, spotless home and they are a wonderful, friendly family. Lilian is a gracious hostess and really made an effort to help me with any of my questions or needs and had great ideas for visiting touristic sites and restaurants.
The house is in a very safe neighborhood with many shops and restaurants within a five or ten minute walk. It's also close to public transport which takes you to the old center of Lima, San Isidro, Miraflores and Barranco.
I couldn't have been more pleased with my stay. Lovely people who really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend a stay there.Host reply

Wir verbrachten einen Monat bei der Familie und hatten eine schöne Zeit. Die Familie ist sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Jeden Morgen bekamen wir frisches selbstgemachtes, leckeres Frühstück. Das Zimmer und Bad ist sehr grosszügig und sauber. Es wird wöchentlich gereinigt. Wir konnten jederzeit die Familie um rat fragen wenn es probleme gab. Das Haus liegt in einer sicheren gegend und man erreicht Miraflores sogar zu Fuss in 30min. Man kann aber auch den Bus nehmen für 1 Sol, der im Minutentakt fahrt.
Wir empfehlen jedem diese Gastfamilie von Herzen weiter. Vielen dank für die tolle Zeit. Gruss von Emanuel & CarmenHost reply
