Solid area if you want convenient access to Plaza De Armas area and nightlife of bellavista. Biggest fish and produce markets in the area (if not the entire city) are in walking distance. Only downside is the street in front of the building is along the river; a decent amount of homeless people are posted along the river. It can get seedy at night, and the first day I came to the apartment the building staff told its dangerous on this street at night outside because of "fights". Just have to be smart when you making moves that's all, if you're in Santiago de centro or bellavista/recoleta this largely applies virtually everywhere you live. I lived numerous places in Santiago de centro and bellavista, you will see homeless people most places, it's not a big deal. But it's worth noting that you will tend to see more homeless people along the river areas. If you want to live in the center of the city this is the trade off. I would live here again if I wanted central city access.
