Andrés was a fantastic host! He really understands how to make the AirBnb experience the best for his guests. His communication was excellent from start to finish. He was there to meet me at the room even though I did not arrive until quite late in the evening.

The building is secure with a front desk person on duty at all times. The room was really clean and equipped with everything I needed from shampoo to nice towels and even a couple of often overlooked items like water were waiting for me upon arrival.

The room has a great view of the city and the Andes from the top floor (18th), huge closet space, a very comfortable bed, a nice shower -- and in general was cozy and ideally located in the Providencia area, near to great restaurants and the Los Leones metro. It is just a very short walk to the Urban Station, a great place to host meetings if you need to do work and a Bikram Yoga studio if you need to sweat out the pisco sours. And there is a coffee shop right outside the door that has a good selection of empanadas and sandwiches for breakfast. You can also get bottled water there, although the locals say the tap water is just fine.

Andrés went out of his way to make sure I saw the best of Santiago. No host that I have had before was this accommodating and Andrés is simply as good as it gets when it comes to being an AirBnb host. When I am back in Santiago I will be trying to book Andrés' room again.
