We loved staying at Alvaro's apartment! Álvaro is such a wonderful host, he is so friendly and helpful! When we arrived he had made a map for us with his personal recommendations for Santiago, including special Chilean food and drink to try and the best places to get them. He was always contactable on what's app and he helped us with lots of things, not just the apartment. The apartment is small but is perfect for a few days in Santiago. It's worth mentioning the apartment stays very cool, as when we were there it was in the 30s in Santiago but the apartment never felt too hot and there is a big fan to use too. The bed is comfortable as well. There is a pool to use but it's closed on Mondays for cleaning so if you are there on a Monday you should know this! It was open all the other days we were there and Álvaro was so kind and flexible even offering to let us check out late so we could use the pool. The neighbourhood has lots of excellent bars and restaurants nearby (do go to his recommendations!!) and a huge supermarket is opposite. We felt very safe and you can easily walk to the centre of Santiago in 10 minutes. The metro stop is really near. We loved it!
