Because of a glitch in dates, the apt in Providencia was unavailable, and Hector graciously offered to exchange for one in the
Bella Vista area which we liked very much. It was modern, clean, well furnished and part of a huge complex of buildings taking up about half of a square block. The apartment was completely satisfactory. The area was full of restaurants and coffee shops, near a couple of museums and fine for walking around. It is one block from a lovely park.

Hector was terrific. He met us at the airport at midnight in a large car, and gave us a mini tour of the city on the way to the apartment.
He is very energetic and is also a tour guide and gives private tours of Santiago and the surrounding area, which we unfortunately were unable to take.

Hector was very gracious about correcting the mixup in dates was waiting for us at the airport and was very gracious in our dealings.
