Location is always important to travelers when in a new city and the Merced apartment has that nailed. Easy access to many of Santiago’s varied barrios and when the walking is too much, an Uber is very cheap.
When you add true hospitality to location, it makes for wonderful memories. We can’t say enough about how well informed, thoughtful and generous Dom was as our host. He sought out our interests and offered a menu of ideas for activities. Our trip to a boutique winery and Valparaíso were a phenomenal introduction to Chile. As a foodie, every coffee house and restaurant was a new and satisfying adventure for us.
I know people want to also know about the apartment...very clean, modern, great laundry facilities, super secure and perfect for the two of us. We did not spend much time there thanks to the many suggestions by our host. I recommend this spot unequivocally.
