I've been living in Lima for about 16 months now. Amongst a couple, i stayed at The Sunset for about 4 days when looking for my appartment, it's on the Malecon de la Marina (ocean front road) in Miraflores. Great value! It was like 8-9$ for a night for the 'deluxe' room, hehe, the ones with the ocean views! Really nice view in the morning, specially if you get the top floors! They also serve a basic breakfast, not the culinary experience you can get in Peru! The food is awesome in here!

The difference between the other hostels in the region of Miraflores is this one is a little more discreet & quiet

Directions of the Sunset: Intersection of Malecon de la Marina and Calle del Ejercito
Limit Miraflores / San isidro
Near the Complejo Desportes de San Isidro & the Repsol gas station

Taxi from the airport: I strongly suggest the taxis from within the airport, they charge flat 35-40 soles (40 soles = 13$), it's about 10 soles more than the taxis in front of the airport, but there have been some incidents reported with taxis in Lima, this way you are safer.

Enjoy!
