Simple, but gorgeous look and feel to the place and a block or two from a great restaurant (La Cantonata) and what has to be Cochabamba's best coffee shop (Cafe Typica). Absolutely everything about this place works and the staff--Dani, Johnny, and the rest--are incredibly inviting. My daughter kept running down to the lobby to buy crackers, or water, or whatever, simply because she wanted to interact with them.||||Do note that it's a very social place with a good on-premise restaurant and there tends to be a lot of noise, sometimes until late in the night.
