I lived in Arequipa. Great city. Lima is a nasty shit hole. Advice in this is spot on. Viva la Republica Arequipena!
I could have been nicer about it, I just really don't like Lima. I haven't been to Peru in 3 years though, so maybe next time I go to Arequipa, I'll give Lima another try. The times I was there though, it had horrible weather, no natural beauty, was dirty/dangerous...whereas Arequipa was always welcoming in my mind.
Let me guess - you didn't stay in Miraflores, right?
There are indeed big parts of the city that look like a nasty shithole, but if you stay in Miraflores, it should make you happy.
