Miguel's apartment is perfect for a small family. We visited with four adults and a young baby less than a year old. Miguel provided a crib for the baby and the bedrooms are well enough insulated that when the baby cried at night it did not wake up the other couple.
The check-in process was smooth and easy. When we arrived early we were able to leave our bags in a side room while the apartment was cleaned. The host is very responsive to questions and anything you might need.
The apartment is less than a 10 minute walk from the entrance to Cerro San Cristobal, and a 20 minute walk to Barrio Lastarria or La Vega Mercado. Easy access to the subway which is clean and user friendly for foreigners. There is a mini-market directly across the street, as well a well-stocked pharmacy and a sandwich shop. It's only a four-block walk to Tottus, a very large modern supermarket. There is a great Peruvian restaurant called 'Aji Seco' about one block away, and several good Lebanese and Palestinian food joints just down the street.
The building has a small pool that is great for kids, as well as a place to bbq. The apartment itself is quite nice but it is clear that it has been well-used and could use a bit of a refresher. With some touch-ups and a few new kitchen items this would easily be a 5-star apartment. Regardless, I highly recommend this location and host. We were very pleased.
