Barbara's apartment was perfect for two of us for the first time visit to Santiago. It was close to supermarket, little restaurants (sushi, Chinese, local Chilean) and the metro station (irrarazaval). Even with my limited Spanish, I had no problem communicating with Barbara. She provided us quick responses. When we told her about few cold nights, she brought us electric blanket and a space heater on the next day. The apartment looks exactly like the photos, but it has low ceiling (so watch out if you are tall). I recommend Barbara's apt to anyone.
