The apartment was exactly as described, and looked exactly like the photos. It was spotlessly clean and perfect for the few days that I was in Santiago. As others have said, the kitchen facilities are limited, but they are as described. It was over 30 degrees when I was there, and Javier made sure that I knew where the fan was, which worked well. The location is great - a short walk from a metro station, and definitely possible to walk to the center of town. There is a Lider grocery store a few blocks' walk away.

It was nice having the security guy downstairs. Unfortunately, I had to go to the airport and couldn't meet up with Javier to drop the keys off, but I was able to leave them downstairs. Check in was very easy, despite the fact that my bus got into Santiago over an hour late, and as I didn't have a phone, I was unable to let Javier know. Javier answered all my questions promptly and was very welcoming; he was also quite flexible when my plans changed slightly.

The roof-top terrace in the building was lovely, and the view was great. I would definitely recommend Javier's place to anybody planning on visiting Santiago and needing a good apartment as a base. Although it's essentially a studio apartment, it didn't feel cramped, and there was a "living room" area with a couch, table and chairs and TV, so you didn't feel like you were just in a bedroom.
