the location is terrific! easy walk to a metro station, and then only a couple stops to the major sights of Santiago. The apartment had everything we needed. We could hear street noises, but it didn't keep us from sleeping. We never ran out of hot water (in fact, be sure not to turn the hot water tap very much, because it gets very hot!). While the apartment isn't very big, it had what we needed and the price was right.
