The apartment is large and light, and is well-located in the buzzing district of Lastarria. It’s in an out-of the-way location, across the street from a park, which means that the traffic noise is muted. Apart from the usual weekend revelers to be found in any inner-city environment, our sleep was not disturbed. The bed was comfortable and the wifi, once we worked out the network/password details, worked fine. Having an extra bedroom was a bonus and, given it size, the apartment offers good value for money.
People with mobility issues or heavy bags should be aware that the apartment is located on the 4th floor of a 1940s building. It’s 72 steps from the ground floor and the elevator does not work reliably. Of the 20 or so trips we made up and down the stairs, we were able to use the elevator only twice. The bathroom needs some attention and a general refresh would benefit the entire apartment, given the other competition in the Airbnb market for this location.
