The first impression of Manuel's apartment was that it was much smaller than it seemed in the photos, but overall we enjoyed our stay and the views and terrace were great. The apartment is well-equipped, especially the good shower, wifi and heating/air con, and gave an authentic 'live like a local' experience in bustling Santiago. Note that while it's centrally located from a map perspective (it's about 15 minutes' walk to areas of interest (Lastarria/Bellavista and Barrio Italia, for example, each in different directions), there's not that much (especially dining options) within the immediate vicinity of the apartment (except the relatively inexpensive street-food-feel taco place around the corner). We arrived direct from Australia on a Sunday night and found it a bit challenging initially to find a decent place to eat, but after a few days we were feeling much more confident with our bearings and getting around.
