We would recommend highly a stay at Casa Lucrecia. It is an old, spacious, period home in a safe neighbourhood. The President of Chile lives 100 metres down the street so there is a 24 hour police presence in the area which makes eating out and walking home feel very safe.
The house is a 12 minute walk to the metro. It is a shared space with the owner, Pedro, who is very kind and hospitable. I had to see a doctor while I was there and he made all the telephone calls for me.
The house is very convenient for the airport. A 20 minute taxi ride.
Breakfast is provided.
Barrio Yungay is an edgy, trendy, up and coming neighbourhool which reminded us of Dalston and Hackney in the 70s.
