We stayed at Soledad's place and enjoyed it! The pros: Soledad was a great host - she greeted us on arrival and was very responsive and helpful in the event of problems (connecting to the internet, a plumbing issue, etc); the location seemed pretty central/convenient to key sites and popular neighborhoods; the check in was very smooth/easy; and the views were stunning. Some opportunities: the apartment seems a little older/dated and could potentially use some refreshing and nicer/more amenities (e.g. fluffier/softer towels + additional washcloths/hand towels, toiletries, etc). That said, we had a positive experience overall and these recommendations would just take the apartment to the next level.
Other general tips:
- The apartment accepts both C and L plugs in case you want to know that for packing/planning purposes before you go
- We took a taxi from the airport that was apparently not legit and got charged an arm and a leg for it. Be cautious - Soledad told us you should expect to pay no more than 15,000-20,000 Chilean pesos
- Avoid flushing any feminine products or toilet paper - we ran into a plumbing issue while there, which might have been avoided had we known this in advance! Luckily, Soledad was great and helped get this resolved very quickly
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again should we find ourselves back in Santiago!
