My experience at Mirey's home turned out to be even more perfect than I had hoped for, based on her description and the reviews of others. Not only does she make you feel like part of the family, but the views from her home are absolutely breathtaking. I didn't realize the Andes would be so close. I felt very safe in her neighborhood, and she was always happy to help answer any questions about the area. Only a short walk to public transportation, but Mirey also has contact information for a taxi company that will not over charge tourists. She gladly helped me reserve taxis when I needed to arrive somewhere by a specific time. Her son Gonzalo was very helpful as well, and made transportation to and from the airport fun, seemless and stress-free.
My time there was the respite I had hoped for, largely because of Mirey. I will always remember my time there. Thank you for everything, Mirey!!
