2 Bedroom Apartment in Pueblo Libre
Modern 2BR apartment for expats, students, and digital nomads in one of Lima’s safest districts. Located in exclusive Colmenares — an access-controlled cul-de-sac with 24/7 private security, concierge (7am - 7pm), and private park.
Main bedroom with 55" Smart TV; second is a home cinema/office with 85" screen & sofa bed. Fast Wi-Fi, large kitchen, hot high-pressure shower.
Walk to Plaza Bolívar, Larco Museum, MNAAHP, Mateo Salado, live music, bars, cafés, art spaces, PUCP & UPC universities.
The space
The apartment is naturally bright throughout the entire day, even during Lima’s winter months. The front wall of the bedroom and cinema room are made up of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with French-style balconies, allowing fresh air and natural light to fill the space. From the windows, you have a wide open view over the city, giving the home a sense of space and calm without feeling enclosed.
If you enjoy nature or birdwatching, the apartment offers a quiet vantage point to observe local wildlife. From the bedroom or living room, you may occasionally see the “San Nicolás” hawk (Gavilán Acanelado / Parabuteo unicinctus) gliding overhead or returning to its nearby nest. Early mornings and late afternoons are often the best times to spot it. The private neighborhood park behind the building also attracts hummingbirds, small songbirds, and even squirrels, making it a pleasant place to read, stretch your legs, or enjoy a quiet break outdoors.
Inside, everything has been set up for comfort, whether you are staying for a short visit or several weeks. The furnishings and appliances are new, and the space is arranged so daily living is simple and intuitive. There is an in-unit LG washer-dryer for your convenience, and building staff can be hired for cleaning or housekeeping if preferred.
The apartment is designed to feel welcoming, uncomplicated, and easy to settle into. Some appliances and media features can be voice-controlled or connected to Wi-Fi if you choose to use them, but everything also works perfectly well with standard manual controls—nothing requires technology to enjoy the space or feel at home.
Other things to note
This apartment is located in Colmenares, one of the most secure and convenient residential areas of Pueblo Libre. The district is known for being calm, walkable, and culturally rich, with a strong local community and a slower pace than the coastal tourist zones. It borders Magdalena del Mar, Jesús María and San Isidro, and is widely regarded as one of the safest areas of Lima for both residents and visitors.
Pueblo Libre maintains a coordinated safety network that includes municipal patrols (Serenazgo), the National Police, and 24/7 monitored cameras across main streets and parks. The district also provides a rapid-response emergency assistance app for residents. Daily errands are easy to do on foot—most essential services are only minutes away, and the area is comfortable to walk both day and night.
Within just a block and a half of the apartment, there is both a municipal hospital with multiple specialists and a Serenazgo base with a police station. The neighborhood is compact enough that many guests choose to explore it entirely on foot; you can walk from one end of Pueblo Libre to the other in about 20 minutes.
The apartment faces the Cruz del Viejo (The Traveler’s Cross), a historic landmark once used as a navigation marker in colonial Lima. A short five-minute walk leads to the cultural center of the district, including Plaza Bolívar, the Quinta de los Libertadores, the home of Manuela Sáenz, the Santa María Magdalena church, Antigua Taberna Queirolo, El Bolivariano, Santiago Queirolo, Casa Hacienda de Orbea, the Boulevard del Criollismo, and the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History. These sites form one of Lima’s most important historical areas, all reachable without needing transportation.
In 10 to 15 minutes on foot, you can reach the Museo Larco, the Mateo Salado archaeological complex (with five pre-Columbian pyramids), Plaza de la Bandera, and the Huaca Julio C. Tello. Along the way are several notable specialty coffee shops, and Pueblo Libre hosts the Café Sazo Peruano coffee festival each year just a few blocks from the apartment.
Pueblo Libre is also centrally located among several of Lima’s leading universities. The Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) is nearby and contributes a thoughtful, academic atmosphere to the area. The National University of San Marcos (UNMSM)—the oldest university in the Americas—is also close, adding historical depth and a steady presence of students and researchers. This creates a calm but youthful energy, with cafés, study spaces, bookstores, and green areas used throughout the day.
For those interested in studying Spanish, reputable language schools are close by. ICPNA and Británico operate nearby branches, while PUCP offers Spanish courses for foreigners through its language center. Private tutors are also easy to arrange, making the area ideal for longer stays where learning and daily life can blend naturally.
For reference, a detailed neighborhood guide—including recommended cafés, restaurants, historic sites, and walking routes—is available through an English-language website created while living in this apartment, offering practical insight from everyday experience.
Note: In the dining area, the Google Nest Hub and the Netatmo Indoor Air Quality Monitor are available if you wish to use them. The air monitor (the rose-gold device) provides real-time indoor air and sound level readings when tapped, but all apartment features function normally without needing to use any of the smart-home controls.
