We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marcelo's place. We were welcomed by Alamiro, the very charming caretaker and artist, and felt right at home. Everything is brand new and Marcelo goes out of his way to accommodate his guests, giving you local recommendations and making sure all is well. The location in the Bellavista area is perfect for seeing Cerro San Cristobel and visiting Pablo Neruda's house. There are also plenty of bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk. It was also walking distance to our Spanish school so was really perfect for us. We liked it so much we returned for a one night stay after our stay on Easter Island as we knew it would be easy and convenient. We highly recommend the place to guests and hope to return in the future.
