The best of Mayra's place: 'Chinche', the cat. Lovely.
The worst: the risky streets around Mayra's place. Dont walk to Av.Lib. B. O'Higgins. Is not safe: drug dealers, thieves, and people like that.
if you need to catch a subway, please walk the opposite way, to terminal Quinta Normal, its safer.
About the place: the bedroom is a drywall loft, on the third floor. The floor is uneven. The bathroom is on the first floor. It is uncomfortable to move at night because everything sounds (floor, room, doors, stairs) and I dont like to disturb the owners, who live there.
The stairway to the bedroom is very narrow. Please be careful: you can hit your head... Reach your dorm with luggage is a little bit complicated. not impossible. Watch your steps when going down. The stairs are like a hole on the floor... Turn the lights on. The light switch is inside the room...
Mayra is a very quite and reserved person. Chilean people are normally reserved people... or maybe repressed people? (Pinochet goverment heritage?).
I expected to talk to people about the country, society, political situation, and so on, but Chile is like that...
