Fernando was great! After a long red-eye flight with a slight jetlag, a largely fruitless search for SIM cards and wireless connectivity, hours of embarrassing communication gaps due to language barrier, and a stressful drive through Santiago without Google Maps, Fernando's smiling face, bottle of wine, and flawless English really was a sight for sore eyes! Fernando helped us set up our SIM card, provided helpful directions and suggestions, and even helped us to get a parking lot in the building for the week.

The apartment was great--a bit on the small side, but certainly adequate (and true to photographs). It's in an awesome central location, close to most things of interest in the city. It is generally safe, but travelers should note that walking alone in some of the nearby neighborhoods at night is not recommended. Plenty of cookware and serveware to accomodate home meals. The apartment was clean and well-apportioned. I enjoyed falling asleep each nice to the gentle noise of the city. And the view from the balcony is simply the best! Enjoy a bottle of great Chilean wine each night as you watch the sun set over the beautiful Andes bordering the city.

My husband and I actually stayed here for our honeymoon. We had a fantastic trip, and will certainly be looking to stay at one of Fernando and Jorge's fine locations the next time we visit the city.
