Over the course of our trip in Chile, we stayed in few places and a hotel as well. While this was not the biggest, it was the newest and cleanest apt. Maria made all the difference in making it very convenient.
+ This was the most convenient apt.
+ Newest Apt, blankets were warm, everything was in place, and convenient.
+ Good value. We paid 40 to 45 for this (not including the fees ~40), while we paid 30% more on 562 Mercer st. and the internet was worse, the reviews there misled us.
+ Maria (the owners mother, speaks good English) was exceptionally organized and available for any issues, this was a great help. For e.g. she was equipped with a map or the apt and the stores around it - which was very helpful.
- Clarification for parking:
I would recommend, that before you check-in with a car - contact the host to check availability since there are only 4 spots in the building, and also there is a cost to park. This will help you reserve a parking spot.
- Hotwater: there is only 20 or 24 mins of hotwater and you have to wait every 12 hrs to get a new quota of hot water.
+ The internet:
At this apt was at par with the US connection, and very good, I was able to get some workdone here easily.
+ TV: you can use your netflix, HBO etc accounts here
+ Around the corner, on Aurto Prat: there is Mall Sino or something like that, you can get cell phone sim cards and new minutes, but they only take cash.
