Maria's house is the perfect place to stay in Santiago! It is very pretty and inviting...the pictures don't do justice to how beautiful the place actually is!! It is spacious, full of light and many interesting features, the furnishings are eclectic and tasteful. The little courtyard is an added bonus just to relax on the hammock anytime of the day. The communications with Maria , check in and check out were smooth and she was very responsive and prompt. Her children welcomed us on arrival and made sure we were all set! We asked for a coffee maker late one evening and it was on the front step next morning! The neighborhood is very nice many close by places to eat and shop also just a10 mins walk to hip and happening Avenida Italia. I look forward to going back to Maria's house again!!!
