Pablo's place has some major advantages -- the location is perfect, walking distance across the river to all the main "hot spots" in Providencia. The bed is comfortable and the WiFi worked great. As others noted, the kitchen is stocked enough with the basics to make some simple meals. There were a few disadvantages though. First, the place was just not very clean when I arrived. Yes, Santiago is a dusty city and if you leave the windows open -- as one must when there's no AC -- lost of dust gets in. But it was more than that: Pablo has lots of runners and lots of rugs, and while the surfaces *not* covered by runners were clean, underneath the runners and table cloths were layers of dust. There were dust bunnies in the corners. The rugs didn't seem to have been vacuumed in ages. Not recommended for people with a dust allergy. I did not complain, and just cleaned it myself, but the whole apartment is just a little more on the shabby side of shabby-chic than the photos suggest. Second is that the apartment is on the ground floor, so there's lots of foot traffic with people walking by, including late at night, and lots of street noise as the building is on a busy corner. I never felt unsafe, but it was not entirely private. The residents have small dogs that yap fairly continuously. Of course, noise from cars and neighbors isn't under Pablo's control, but I'm noting for guests who may be sensitive. Pablo was very nice and came by to introduce himself and share his whatsapp number. The gentleman who admitted me was very nice, but not wearing a mask while showing me the apt, which I was not comfortable with.
