Carmen is a journalist who lives near the center of Lima, accompanied by Irene (the domestic worker), who works with her weekday afternoons. They live with their 5 cats, all very calm and affectionate with strangers. The house is in a central location, with easy access to the Marina and Javier Prado, and about 20 minutes from downtown Lima. The house is right behind a supermarket almost next to a faucet, so whenever you need to buy something, you can go there. There are two small parks within a couple of blocks away, and the same house has a large garden, which has an avocado tree and a banana. The house itself is one story. All rooms are spacious, including the living room, dining room and kitchen. The rooms and the room overlook the garden. Carmen is a journalist and spends much of his time at home. Speaks Spanish and English, and is almost always available in the mornings.Irene is in the afternoon, since lunch, and is always willing to talk. She speaks only Spanish.

There are many buses that take you to both the center of Lima, to Javier Prado, Callao and Miraflores.
