Ximena’s apartment ticks all the boxes for those exploring Santiago for the first time.
The location,in lively Bellavista,is excellent.Bellavista’s restaurants and bars are at your doorstep and it’s a short walk to San Cristobal,Pablo Neruda’s house and Lastarria neighbourhood.We stayed mid-week and didn’t have any trouble with noise.
The apartment is very clean,secure,well heated and spacious enough for a couple.I particularly liked the comfortable bedding and towels (which can be scarce in Sth America).The westerly outlook from the 10th floor balcony was lovely for watching the sunset with a glass of Chilean wine.We didn’t cook,due to the abundance of great eateries within waking distance,but the kitchen was very clean and had an adequate range of utensils,cookware and crockery.
