Karen is a wonderful host. She is super accommodating, lively, friendly and funny. Her apartment is clean with a wonderful view of the snowcapped mountains. The Las Condes neighborhood is very safe, away from the busy center (20 min bus ride) which is what I prefer, near a couple minimarkets and half a block away from the bus line and near restaurants. She was kind enough to take a day to drive us around to show us some of Santiago and to take us grocery shopping. I highly recommend her place if you want to experience Santiago living in a quite, safe lovely neighborhood away from the busy center.
