Our kind host met us, and helped orient us to the area and to Chile. He was very flexible in our check out time when my wife was sick and showed a personal interest in our well-being from start to finish. As he lived just a few doors away he was always there to help. The location is great : there is one bus that goes direct to the Baha'i House of Worship in the foothills of the Andes (bus 516) leaving just a few blocks away (our purpose for visiting Santiago; it is close to a metro stop ("Moneda" stop); close to where the bus from the airport stops ("Los Heros") ; close to Plaza de Armas; and close to a supermarket "Sant Isabelle"). We have already booked to stay with Filipe again in a week when we again pass through Santiago.
