Over the years, I have stayed in numerous rental properties. This might be my best experience yet. I used to live in Santiago years ago, and I went back for two weeks to visit friends during which time I stayed here. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you could need (especially in the kitchen). The apartment is beautifully and tastefully decorated, and the view from the balcony of the cordillera (Andes) is wonderful. Given the length of my stay, it was great that there is a washer and dryer which both worked well. The building has a person 24 hours at the front desk which makes the building safe and secure. And the location of the building, right in the heart of downtown and a short walk from the Plaza de Armas, the historic center of Santiago, puts you within easy reach of all the sites. There is also easy access to multiple Metro stations, grocery stores, and restaurants. The place is perfect! Last but not least, the host, Hugo Silva who lives in the United States, was extremely responsive, gracious, and accommodating. We spoke on the phone. He answered all of my questions. One of his family members who lives in Santiago was there to meet me on check in day, give me the keys, and show me how everything worked. Hugo even checked in on me upon my arrival to make sure everything went smoothly. From beginning to end, Hugo made the experience stress-free and easy to navigate. The whole experience was extraordinary.

From the moment our booking was accepted, Hugo was making sure all of our questions were answered. He provided tips about the local restaurants and grocers so we were able to hit the ground running. Santiago is a big city with many neighborhoods worth exploring. This location is perfect to discover the beginning of the capital of Chile. Just 3.5 blocks from the apartment is the plaza where it all began in 1541. Plaza de Armas, the heart of the city, features the cathedral, a historical museum, a beautiful park with fountains and statuary. Additionally, it is a station to the subway, along with Santa Anna, 2 blocks the opposite direction from the apartment. Using the subway, you can be almost anywhere in the city within 30 minutes. Two nice grocery stores within two blocks, cafes restaurants, currency exchanges within walking distance make this a great starting place for discovering Santiago. This is a place where people live and work so you can get a real feel of life in this great Chilean city. If you want to explore further, the nearby subway stations can connect (under $1.00 per ride) you to inexpensive buses (under $10.00 each way) to take you to the agricultural/wine valleys of Casablanca or Colchagua or even all the way to the coast where you find the beach town of Vina del Mar or the port city of Valporaiso. All within 1.5 hours. The owner's brother and nephew live and work nearby. They met us when we arrived and were very responsive to questions that arose. The unit was secure, very comfortable, very clean and met our needs admirably.

Great location, clean, well supplied (kitchen, bathroom and a wonderful welcome gift!). Highly recommended!

Hugo and his brother Patricio are great hosts. They even brought us wine as a gift! The condo has a doorman so feels very secure. The condo itself has everything you would need. We appreciated having the second bathroom which is hard to find. There is a lovely bakery and deli 2 doors down.

My adult daughter and I really enjoyed spending a week in this well-located, artfully decorated apartment in downtown Santiago. We were walking distance to many tourist attractions, restaurants and public transportation. The hosts were very accommodating and treated us so well before and during our visit, making our stay extra special and comfortable. The unit is located within a secure high rise with 24-hour security at the front desk. The views of the mountains at sunset and sunrise from the balcony are spectacular! We highly recommend staying here.

Beyond the fact that the apartment is wonderful, sparkling clean, and in a great central location (loved all the wonderful pedestrian walkways and markets), what REALLY set this apart was the support and responsiveness of Hugo, the owner. We ended up having a medisl issue, requiring a trip to a local clinic. Reached out to Hugo for advice, and he called immediately to ensure we were oksy, gave us a referral to a wonderfu private clinic, and offered to have his brother come over to assist. Thank you!!!

Our host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Arrived to welcome goodies and a well furnished apartment. The property is secured and staff very friendly. The location was great for walking to the museums, restaurants etc. They gave us many tips for food and things to do. Thank you Hugo and family. We leave with very nice memories.
