Overall we enjoyed our stay, though not without some qualifications. In short, if you’re looking for a place to crash in a very cool neighborhood, you’ll likely love the place. If you want somewhere you feel like you can “live in” for more than a weekend, I’d consider others.
The good first: the place is adorable. The apartment is super tastefully decorated and cute. The balcony is truly great — 7 stories up over a very cool neighborhood. Some incredible restaurants nearby, parking right across the street, close to museums, really good area for a tourist. It also has a very evident “lived in” feel, it’s clear that it’s someone’s home, not a rental property (which has good and bad). If you want a hotel substitute and will be out all day and eating meals in restaurants, you’ll probably love it.
What could be better: we found some of the “home” amenities to be lacking. A broken oven, no microwave, no hand towels in the kitchen, clothes dryer that doesn’t really work, etc. Things you wouldn’t even notice if you use it like a hotel, but things you will notice if trying to make it a temporary home away from home. And the flip side of it being a real home is that it comes with too many rules (eg, no shoes, don’t touch the piano, water the plants, take out your own garbage, don’t tell the doorman anything, etc.). If it was a discount place, that wouldn’t bother me, but for what is essentially the most expensive one bedroom apartment in Santiago on AirBnB, I personally found it a bit annoying.
So, anyway, lots to love about the place if you’re the right audience, but just be sure it’s right for you.
