The neighborhood seemed industrial but quiet / safe, and I walked to both the Movistar Arena and the central area from there without a problem, although it was a good trek to the "centro" (about 40 min). Ibra was really responsive, and he made my arrival and changing plans really easy -- he didn't complain one bit when I arrived later than expected at 1 am. His family was the nicest family I could imagine, a true pleasure. I enjoyed spending time with the family as much as I did exploring Santiago.
