Mauricio is an excellent host and his apartment is absolutely great. It's located just a few blocks from Santiago's city centre, so you can easily get to the subway, take a bus or just walk to most of the historical landmarks. The building's got a doorman, so anytime you come and go someone will be there to greet you. Overall, the apartment is comfortable, spacious, luminous and clean. Mauricio is very attentive and helpful, though at the same time encourages you to be fully independent, hence you almost won't notice you're sharing the place. The private room and bathroom are really good, you can easily work in the living room or desk, and the kitchen is fully equipped. If it's available, I strongly recommend you grab those dates right now!
