Talk:Iquitos

Hospedaje La Casita, Tacna 270, Iquitos

Someone here wrote that you shouldn't stay at La Casita, because your things get stolen there. It's too bad that people have bad experiences in Iquitos, but we shouldn't single out a place like La Casita. Stuff gets stolen everywhere; theft is almost like an epidemic in Iquitos. I lived at La Casita twice; once for two months, and once for three months. None of my stuff ever got stolen there and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Bad stuff happens everywhere, we just need to be careful and sensible. True; La Casita doesn't offer a safe place to store things, and it has been two years since my last stay there, so who knows. But at 100 dollars rent a month, I guess you should adjust your expectations.
