Host:
Francisca is a lovely and warming host. She is very worldly and travelled to many places herself. She was thoughtful enough to have laid out snacks in the kitchen for us when we first arrived from our long journey, which we really appreciate. She was very responsive and had even visited us to help us with the heater and bought kerosene for us (April is quite a cold month in Santiago). You cannot expect a better host than that.

Apartment condition:
The 2-bedroom apartment was very clean, tidy and had lots of character from its decor and colour scheme. We can tell Francisca and her parents have put a lot of effort in up keeping the flat. The kitchen was also very well-equipped -- with pairs of glasses for different wines, plenty of cups, dishes and utensils. There is also a clean oven and functioning mixer. You also don't need to worry about the general supplies such as bath towels, toilet paper, as they were all available when we arrived.

One thing to note though, the toilets in Chile work a bit differently from other countries. It's recommended in many toilets here not to flush any toilet paper down or else the toilet gets clogged very easily.

Neighbourhood:
Providencia is an amazingly diverse neighbourhood with lots of good restaurants. If you like baking, there are a few baking speciality shops downstairs. It's only 5 minute away from the Manuel Mont metro station, which is only a few stops from Las Condas downtown area. Highly recommend this listing!
