Hands-down the BEST neighborhood in Santiago. Lastarria is filled with great restaurants, art galleries, pubs, book stores, cafes. It's what Soho in NYC used be before it became Soho. So much life and creative energy. The apartment building is in a cul de sac which enables you to really experience the warm feeling of community here. My apartment faced the street which was perfect. I got to experience live music, a flea market, and a triage station for demonstrators. It was awesome to see all this from my window!! The neighbors are incredibly friendly and warm. The apartment was absolutely perfect. It was tastefully designed and had everything you need for a fantastic stay. There is a laundry facility in the basement which was nice (a little cumbersome to do laundry but not a big deal). I didn't get in until 2am but Marta accommodated me. She's super responsive and her priority is to ensure a great stay. I hope to be back soon and would love to stay here again. Don't hesitate. Book this place!
