Miraflores is fine at night, the area around the airport isn't. It easy to get a taxi, you can order one from uber. I think its 55 soles from miraflores. You don't need more than 45 minutes at that time of night (should be a bit less)...its an easy ride up the circuito de playas.

This is essentially what we did, and had more time in Lima. Its really all we felt one needs to do there though. Check out the old city, then head to Miraflores. Stop at Huaca Pucllana on the way for a bonus point. End your night at a restaurant on the beach (Larcomar if you'd like extra easy taxi access- pick one up at the JW Marriott across the street, the EasyTaxi stand in Larcomar, or use Uber- either with cell service or the free wifi throughout Larcomar. Yes, you can call Uber without cell service during the ride).
