Ismael was the best host we have ever had. This started before we even arrived. We were going to be there for 2 months with our one-year-old son. I asked Ismael if he had or knew where we could get a crib or playpen. Then next day he sent me a picture of a beautiful wooden crib and asked if it would work and which room we wanted it in! He also purchased us a mobile phone with a data plan for us to use while there. About 3 weeks in it was cold outside and Ismael brings us a brand new kerosene heater because he thought that the baby might be cold. Anything and everything that we could have asked for, Ismael provided. He is by far the best there is!
The apartment is just like it appears in the pictures. The couch and beds are comfortable. There are plenty of pillows and blankets. The kitchen is large by South American standards. Everything is nice, clean, and new. And the view is spectacular, especially if anything happens at Plaza Italia (Chile won the Copa America while we were there and we watched a great celebration from the patio). There are several restaurants downstairs and a grocery store about 1/2 mile away. The metro is 1 1/2 blocks. The area can get busy and noisy on weekdays.
This is a great apartment in a great location with an amazing host. When we come back to Chile we will definitely be renting Ismael's apartment again.
