I stayed with the lovely Carlos and Patricia for 5 days in Santiago. What a great choice! I was made feel very welcome as a friend and given advice regarding the central location, Pre Columbian Museum, Human Rights Museum, walking "Tours for Tips" (I did two which were great - city and markets), a day trip to Conchay Y Toro winery using Metro/Taxi.
My transfers were with Transvip - organised at Airport in a shared bus which dropped me off at their place. Patricia kindly organised the return transfer for me and Carlos stayed until the transfer arrived.
My hosts took me to the Brasil neighbourhood for a seafood dinner and we shared many travel stories and laughs. And extra little food surprises!
The appartment building was very secure with buzzer entry and staff. Comfortable bed and use of kitchen. On the weekend my host was away so had the place to myself. Some traffic noise which is to be expected in a built up area.
As a single female traveller all this made my Santiago stay a very enjoyable one!
