Pros...
Prior to arriving to Santiago my wife and I spoke with Fernando voicing our concerns about arriving earlier than checkin time. Fernando was amazing in allowing us to come early and leave our bags, taking care of all of our needs and making sure he was easily assessable. We really appreciated the host and the recommendations he provided for us.
The location of this apartment was spot on. Very centralized and easy to get to from a lot of the key points in Santiago. The balcony and the view from the apartment was GREAT really gives you a wonderful view of the city with the mountains in the backdrop.
The bathroom was nice and tidy, pretty clean and updated and comfortable to use.
Cons...
There was a very strong smell of mildew or mold in the kitchen. It was unbearable at times and really needs to be checked on.
The couch in the living room is old, dirty and uncomfortable. It needs to be updated for a more pleasurable experience.
The bed was a bit firm. The sheets just didn't feel the cleanest and we felt dirty being in the apartment most of the time.
We really appreciate Fernando and how accommodating he is , but the overall experience of the apartment was subpar. The price of the apartment was good, but you get what you pay for. Don't expect anything fancy or over the top here.
