The apartment is located about 10 minutes walk from both the Museum des Bellas Artes and the main square. If, like us; you arrive late afternoon and don’t know Santiago, I’d recommend that you cross the bridge to find somewhere to eat on your first night . We were given this sound advice by our taxi driver on arrival.
The apartment is close to the top of one of 2 adjoining high-rise towers. There is a good supermarket over the bridge almost diagonally opposite . This was our first experience of high-rise living and I was surprised at how well vertical distance muffled the sounds of the city 21 floors below. (We had the windows open). However you would need a good head for heights to sit on the narrow balcony (and no chairs are provided for this!)
If you have a couple of days I would recommend taking the cable car up to San Cristobal for some exercise and superb views over the city.
