My stay at Susi’s home was fantastic. I spent nearly three weeks in Santiago while working at the Universidad de Chile and the location is perfect for getting anywhere in the city. It takes about 10-15 minutes in the morning to walk to Juan Gomez Millas campus and making a trip into the city was just as easy with plenty of convenient bus routes going directly there and back at all hours.
Nunoa is a wonder suburb in Santiago, very quiet and safe! Susi’s house backs onto one of the nicer parks in the area which means even fewer neighbours and more green space nearby. When compared with the price of staying in Santiago hostels, this Airbnb can’t be matched. Not only do you get a quiet sleep/workspace, but a private bathroom! Far better than living at a hostel as a working/travelling student.
Susi’s family makes you feel welcome in a Chilean home and they are more than willing to help you with whatever you may need. There is a genuine interest in your well being and experience in Chile. Also, if you’re a fan of cats, you may leave with more than just human friends! I highly recommend staying here should you need to visit Santiago for a single night or many weeks. My experience in the city would likely not have been the same had I stayed anywhere else. So, thank you Susi and Martin for allowing me into your home!
