I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great location to stay in Santiago. This is a great place for someone who is looking for a simple room to sleep in. It is within easy walking distance of lots of great things to do. There are plenty of shops and restaurants. Parque Forestal is practically out your doorstep, and Parque Metropolitano (Cerro San Cristóbal) is within walking distance. Public transportation is also very close, with a bus stop out the door and a metro station a short walk away. Despite its central location, the room was surprisingly quiet, with very little street noise, even with the window open. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The private bath is directly across the hallway from the bedroom. The apartment was clean. Ali and Joseph (Jose) are wonderful people. They are friendly hosts who welcome you as a new friend. They speak fluent English. They can recommend several good places to go, things to do, and places to eat! The dog, Mel is friendly and quiet. I felt very at-home here as a solo traveler from the U.S. and would definitely stay here again.
