I'll start with the positive--the apartment is centrally located near lots of Santiago attractions including just steps from parque metropolitano. There are great bars and restaurants in the neighborhood. And the building is secure with a friendly 24 hour doorman. The host provided us with a bottle of wine upon entry.
The negative unfortunately outweighs the positive. The photos of the property are deceptive. It is much smaller than it appears. The kitchen has no knives and forks. Cleanliness is a major issue. The bathroom smelled of urine upon entry and there were visible wear and tear and dust throughout the apartment. I am not sure where the cleaning fee is going. I would have overlooked all of this given how little I spent at the apartment, however, my wife and I were given just one roll of toilet paper for our 4 night stay. When we asked for more, we were told that this is not a hotel. We took time out of our trip to run to the local market that was about close just to have more toilet paper. I would have rather had adequate supplies and a more flexible host than a bottle of wine. Ultimately, you get what you pay for and it could be a good deal for someone who is not accepting a lot. Just be ready to go to the market ahead of time especially if you plan on cooking at the apartment.
