If I could, I would give Erica's apartment a six-star rating. Not only was there a full kitchen, but it was supplied with helpful extras, such as a water filter, toaster and toaster oven, paper towels, cooking oil and soy sauce, seasonings, coffee and tea. And there was a working electric heater which was a real plus for us getting the bedroom ready for cold June nights! There was even a roomy walk-in closet. In short, Erica has provided everything you need for a long or short stay. (We stayed six nights.) The apartment was comfortable and spotless; Erica even cleaned it and changed the sheets and towels midway through our stay. The location is ideal, walking distance to everything in central Santiago from supermarkets to museums to the amazing Vega Mercado. Best of all, the neighborhood is quiet and safe, even after dark -- we enjoyed two evening concerts at the Municipal Theatre and felt no discomfort walking home. Finally, Erica was a lovely and caring hostess, checking in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and to give us suggestions for exploring Santiago. We truly enjoyed our stay here, and especially meeting Erica. We highly, highly recommend her apartment for your visit to Santiago. ****** (six star rating)!
