The apartment was fantastic. The location is perfect, easy walking distance to lots of interesting areas and some of the best restaurants in Santiago. It had everything we needed and more. We were very impressed with the thoughtful touches provided to make our stay easy, such as a train pass and a local phone.
Nelson and his father, Nelson senior, went out of their way to make us welcome. Nelson's dad was there to meet us. We can't speak Spanish and he couldn't speak English, but he had organised an interpreter on the phone, so we were able to understand his terrific intoduction to the apartment and the area. Nelson senior brought an interpreter when we were leaving and organised a taxi to the bus terminal for us. They couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome.
We would strongly recommend Nelson's apartment. It is on the 16th floor of a relatively new apartment block that has a manned reception area, 4 lifts, and a terrific viewing area on the 25th floor. It is north facing so is warm and sunny, with an interesting view. The Smart TV provides all the entertainment you want if you have time after exploring the funky neighbourhoods nearby.
Thank you Nelson for a great stay in Central Santiago.
