Carlos is a wonderful host. He made sure to look after me the entire 6 weeks I was there. it was extremely easy to get in contact and even if he wasn’t physically there to help with a few things, he was extremely prompt and helpful. The apartment has some of the best views in town. I loved the big windows which made it so light and spacious. Great shower pressure! Very safe building with friendly and helpful doormen and concierges.
Two things to notice:
-you cannot use more than one appliance at the time: if you’re doing laundry, then you can’t boil water, or have the heating on. It’s always one thing st the time which made it a bit tricky on days that I was running out of time to get many things done.
-as much as I would strongly recommend Carlos and the apartment, I wouldn’t recommend the neighborhood. It is in Santiago central, which is mostly shops, malls, and the streets are very dirty, lots of stray dogs and homeless people, which is heartbreaking, and besides the fact that I was able to walk to work, I did not enjoy the neighborhood. I felt unsafe when I walk home at night after work. Lastarria (which is 10-15 min walk away) has a total different feel and that is where I would go out most of the time.
Besides these two points, thank you Carlos!
