When you're in high altitude, what you moat need is a nice place to rest and that's exactly what Residencial Alta Vista meant to us. Rooms are very comfortable, with central heating and a hot shower. Rodrigo, Tania & Reynaldo, the staff, are kind and helpful; they made us feel so at home, including the landlady who prepared our breakfast every morning. The location is great too because it's a safe area right in the heart of Mercado de Brujas with lots of shops with handicraft and musical instruments. There are also a few eating options around. Finally, the view is fantastic from the hotel. We were very lucky bc from our room we could see the beautiful Illimani, but if you don't get a room like ours, you ca always go up to the top floor and get an amazing view from there too. We highly recommend ALTA VISTA if you are in La Paz.
