Maria's apartment in the heart of Providence, in Santiago Chile, was perfect for my trip! Hector, (Maria's partner) was always available to help us with any question we had. Maria was also available via phone from the USA.
The neighborhood around the apartment is safe and has everything from a supermarket to several restaurants to chose from.
I would recommend a hike up to the "Cerro de la Virgen" early in the morning and take the metro everywhere you want to go! The doormen were fantastic and make you feel safe!
The kitchen is fully equipped and having a washing machine was also a plus for us. The apartment is clean, nice and simply decorated. Air conditioning works well too. The beds are also very comfortable.
I recommend Maria's place and would stay there if I were to travel to Santiago again. Lovely place!
