This place is awesome. The room is really big, with a large window that receives lots of sunlight. It also comes with a huge desk, which I really appreciated.
The window looks out onto a charming city block. It is a wonderful location - a Bakery, cheese-shop, and (really good) pizzeria on the same block, countless cafes and restaurants in every direction, and vast beautiful parks within a few blocks. Everything is at your fingertips.
The kitchen and the living room are also spacious, with large windows. I found cooking here to be very enjoyable. The apartment has a unique Rationalist design, just like in the photos. Someone comes once a week and cleans the whole place, including the bedroom, so the place is always fresh and clean.
Matías is a wonderful host. A native of the neighborhood, he makes you feel right at home the moment you get here. He is deeply intellectual, and is often flown across the world to speak at academic conferences about the use of technology for research in the Humanities. He’s also really fun and down to earth - he hosted a party while I was here - let’s just say it was pretty dope.
Part of my time here has been during the Covid crisis, and it feels like an ideal place to weather the situation. The spaciousness of the apartment and large windows make it easy to stay inside. And if you feel like going out, all the cafes / bakeries / cheese shops etc. are open and serving people at the door, so you have more than enough excuses to stroll around the city. I often go for long walks, including through the parks, and have had no issues.
