Lovely unit away from the hustle and bustle of the city! This is a unit with a private entrance, located on the second floor of Alia’s parents’ house in the pleasant upscale neighborhood of La Reina. The unit includes a kitchenette with a microwave, stove, mini-fridge and all cooking essentials, bathroom, dining/work area and a large room with a comfortable double bed (with crisp linens!), a seating area, TV, A/C and heating. The apartment overlooks the huge lush garden, with lots of natural sunlight and beautiful artwork from all over the globe. Communication with Alia was excellent, she was always quick to respond via the app and her English is perfect. There’s lots of privacy, as you have your own set of keys for both the unit and the front gate, and I only met Alia’s mom upon arrival and once more during my stay. Dogs Vito and Rita spend most of their time in the yard, and are very friendly. La Reina is a quiet residential area, about an hour away from downtown by public transportation. There’s a bus stop literally in front of the house, where you can catch bus 412 to the nearest Metro station (Principe de Gales) and from there you can take a Metro to downtown (with 1 transfer in between). Uber is also popular in Santiago, but is rather expensive when going to downtown due to traffic. An Uber to the Airport was ~20,000CLP at night (45 min). There’s a small shopping center ~5 min. walk from the house, with a supermarket, pharmacies, laundromat and a couple of restaurants.
