Our family of four stayed at Franco’s place for a week and found it a stylish, comfortable, and well-equipped house from which to enjoy central Santiago. Franco was welcoming and helpful. This location is close to all the restaurants and attractions of Bellavista and easy walking distance to the centre of Santiago and also to the huge and bustling Mercado Vega, where we bought food and supplies. The kitchen is well-equipped for meal preparation, and it was great to have a washing machine. We spent a lot of time in the nice outdoor patio area. We do not think there is much else comparable to this house in central Santiago. However, be advised that the patrons of the many nightclubs in the area make noise outside the house until dawn, so we had to choose between leaving the windows open for ventilation (there is no AC) or shutting out the noise.
