PROS
- excellent shower
- close to Lastarria (with good restaurants and cafes) and most other necessary services (groceries, pharmacies, etc)
- good working setup (for 1 person. if you need space for 2 people to work, you'll need to get a bit creative)
- lots of light and a pretty view to the sunset
- 24h doorman
CONS
- no view of the andes (in case you're looking for that. absolutely not essential but a nice to have)
- close to a region with a ton of beggars and homeless people. this is absolutely not the homeless people's fault, but it can be dark and unsafe walking around the region later at night (think past 8pm).
- small kitchen and sink, in case you want to cook most of your meals at home. also it has an electric stove, which I personally dislike (not this one specific one, but all electric hobs)
- really close to major bus stops and a firefighter station, meaning it can get very noisy at times
this isn't in the listing but there is a small gym in the building (which is a plus), but it's actually just a small room close to the garage that's really dirty, badly lit, and has a ton of old equipment that doesn't work plus a few dumbbells. just FYI :)
overall it's a good apartment. it's not in the best location (with the situation with the homeless people), so that's unfortunate. if you're mostly going to move around by car it's absolutely fine though -- I like to walk to places and then it becomes a bit of an issue.
