Tomas's place is clean and has nice spaces for hanging out in the living room and balcony. The location was also great - it's a short 10-15 min walk to bars and nightlife in Bellavista. If you're up for a 30 min walk into the center of the city, you get to see some cool neighborhoods and parks on your way. That's how we chose to explore Santiago, but there's also a metro station nearby to get you downtown faster. We were there during the protests and the neighborhood is very safe.
