This trip to Santiago has been one of the greatest ones I have done so far. A big reason was Francisco´s apt. Beautiful and comfortable space with access to a little balcony that´s surrounded by trees.
Even during the hottest summer days, the amount of green around the neighbourhood provides a fresh and pleasant breeze.
A block away, all across Pocuro street, you will find a running path park, ideal for jogging at any time. Don´t forget the two little food stores at the corner. One is full of organic and traditional homemade Chilean style and the other one a cool coffee shop. ( I recommend empanadas and mote con huesillos).
