Barbara's place is actually a real home, including a large living room and balconies to a quiet tree-lined street, in what may be the safest neighborhood in Santiago. It feels old-fashioned and old world, which we enjoyed. Next to a large park and as well close to the lively Italian quarter. A supermarket (Lide) is a ten minutes walk so for those who like to make breakfast at home it's perfect. Barbara is a great host. speaks English and answers right away to guest questions, and comes there in person if needed.
