The place is of acceptable quality, though a bit worn down. It is within 5 minutes walk from the Parque o Higgins metro station. The room is in an apartment with a good view of Santiago towards the east and one can see all the way to the newly erected Baha`i temple at the foot of the Andes mountains. Our host was there for us when we needed him. On our first day he accompanied us to the wonderful Bistro Delicioso around the corner which serves Chilean dishes for lunch between 13.00-15.30 daily. Two wonderful weeks in Santiago!
