Lima
A quiet hostel in a nice neighborhood just a block from a park, Malka is run by an amiable mother-daughter team. The house features 10 clean rooms, a nice garden space and a rock-climbing wall. There is a large shared kitchen and laundry facilities, a TV room with DVD player, luggage storage and a small on-site cafe serving light meals.
It’s near the transit hub of Av Arequipa and Av Javier Prado.
