The Poet's Refuge is unique for Santiago and the reason we selected it for our month-long stay. The house has tons of character and history and overall I would recommend it. But it has some quirks that I would like to point out to future guests so that you can decide if it is the right Airbnb for you. First off, Franco is an incredible host - friendly, responsive, helpful, and kind. The location in Bellavista allowed for easy access to La Chascona, Cerro Cristobal and all of the restaurants and bars in this interesting neighborhood. Don't miss Selvado right around the corner. But do be prepared for lots of activity on the street and be aware of your surroundings. We relied on the Emporio mini market nearby for supplies, there is no super market in the neighborhood. Metro stop Baqueando is the closest and it's about a 10-15 min walk. The house does not have central heat and is cold in the winter because it sits in the shadow of the hill. We relied heavily on the space heaters Franco provided. The staircase is rather treacherous for small children or older people. The house is smaller than shown in the photos because the living room with sofa is currently off limits to guests. The dining room and outdoor patio are the only living spaces. The third bedroom and bath are former maids quarters so they are small, dark and isolated as compared to the other two bedrooms upstairs which are lovely. All in all, I would recommend this home for a short term stay, during warmer seasons.
