After arriving to Santiago on a holiday and the day of an international football match I was unable to check into any of the hostels I had been recommended. Which lead me to AIRBNB and to Ventana Sur.

Wow did I luck out. I was greeted warmly upon arrival and got an excellent run down of the neighbourhood. After I went to eat I was able to meet the owner of Ventana Sur and chat over a glass of red wine. Owner and house were absolutely top notch - every part of the house was totally clean and well looked after. The neighbourhood was full of nice restaurants and bars - at a variety of prices - a super market was close by - and a subway stop - meaning most of the city is easily accessible.

This is absolutely the place to stay in Santiago - I will be back.
