I sort of enjoy Hostal Porta's location. It was close, 3 blocks away from downtown Miraflores, a couple blocks to the shore for famous lovers trail, a few blocks to Wong Supermarket (buying Piscos for souvenirs in 45 min.) Walking distance to at least two great Ceviche/Sea Food restaurants, "Afresco" and "Punto Azul." Building is in a classic setting, WiFi is good, at least, in our case. ( It seems Hotels in Lima always claim they have WiFi, but previous years the WiFi service is always spotty....) Taxis seem to turn into Porta street very frequently, and Juan, Jose or Bruno can always help you get a "local" fair price while hailing a taxi. $50 soles to Airport, $20 ($16) soles for Cruz del Sur stations. I think I will diffidently consider Hostal Porta again next time when we have 12-day trip in Peru.
