Had a lovely stay at Valentina's apartment in downtown Santiago, and I would definitely recommend Valentina as a host. The condo was very well equipped with everything I needed to have a comfortable week in this beautiful city. Check in was a breeze and Valentina's father showed me everything about the apartment in detail including how to operate the tv, kitchen appliances, etc. Although there's no AC so it can get a little hot during summer, the fan does a pretty good job of keeping things cool. The neighbourhood itself doesn't have that much to offer in terms of bars & restaurants but it's very centrally located. In less than 10 minutes you can walk to Lastarria and in 15 to Bellavista!
