I had a very good time with Alvaro and his family. They are all very friendly and answered happily the tons of question I had, freshly arriving in Santiago. I stayed with them for one week because it is very close to the campus San Joaquín and it gave me time to look for a shared flat. The home was clean and I had my own space to store my food. I could come and go whenever I wanted and even use their printer/bike and everything I needed. I even had fresh towels and a TV in my room. They gave me an extra electrical heating so I wouldn't be cold during the night. A cleaning lady came twice to clean up my room. I would definetly recommend to stay there and if I'm coming back to Santiago I will go there again.
