Our stay in Santiago occurred while the protests that started in 2019 were ongoing. Aline & Joseph emailed us before our arrival date to keep us informed about the situation and to let us know that despite the political situation it was still safe to come to Santiago. Although the city was not operating normally, for example all the museums were closed indefinitely, we were still able to walk the city and do day tours outside of Santiago to the Maipo Valley and Valparaíso. The apartment is central to the main sites and we could walk to Plaza des Armas, San Cristobal for amazing views of the city and the neighbourhoods near Providencia like Bellavista and Lasterria. Our room was comfortable and we had our own bathroom across the hall. Aline and Joseph were informative about their city and country and it was interesting talking with them about the demonstrations and the future for Chile. I would definitely recommend their place if you are visiting Santiago.
