"We are three ex-backpackers who have recently opened a new hostel in Lima... We wanted to take the best out of every hostel we've ever been to; make a hostel that's cozy and comfortable, and yet fun. A place with services of the highest level, but one that doesn't over-charge... capture the special atmosphere everybody looks for in a hostel... a spacious kitchen and most importantly a huge locked and safe parking space where you can store your bike and even work on it. Also, because we helped a few bikers in getting parts and fixing bikes, we now pretty much know where everything is in the city in regards to bikes, mechanics and parts shops."
