This was an outstanding experience! Communication was excellent and very helpful from the time of our booking, through check-in and orientation, checking up on us mid visit and right up to information regarding check-out procedures and our inquiry about using the app SaferTaxi for arranging a taxi to the airport. Primarily our communication was with Cami and she was terrific!
The apartment was clean and well represented in the photos. Especially we loved the location - so convenient for walking to many points of interest and close to several metro stations. It was wonderful being amazingly close to all the markets, the Forestal Park, Patronato (shopping street) and Bella Vista! Also, we really enjoyed having the balcony - great to relax and enjoy the night view of the city and mountains after a full day of exploring.
Along with our high recommendation of the apartment and our hosts, we can also recommend the following:
- Uncorked Cooking Class
- Wine Tour Casablanca Valley
- Tips for Tours (both in Santiago and Valparaiso)
- Foto Ruta Streetscapes (excellent photography course/tour)
- Museum of Memory and Human Rights
-Peumayen Ancestral Food Restaurant on Constitution Ave
-La Signoria Italian Restaurant on Bella Vista
-Emporia La Rosa by the Forestal Park - for breakfast, lunch or amazing ice cream like Rose and Lemon, Basil & Mint
-Pueblito Los Dominicos - quaint Chilean handicrafts market near the Los Dominicos metro station on Line 1 (red)
