Oliver's apartment is in the busy Metropolitan area of Santiago, near government buildings and the historic center so there is much to see and explore within walking distance-- the presidential palace (La Moneda), museums, etc. East access to groceries, restaurants, shopping. The street can get busy because of this during the week but the area is very (blissfully) quiet on the weekends. Very easy to catch an Uber from here to travel to other areas of the city (Parque Bicentennial was terrific!)
Oliver and his wife met us at the apartment at arrival and showed us how everything worked. We very much appreciated the new towels and bedsheets. The apartment was clean at arrival. At the same time we made some cleaning recommendations (sofa, blankets) to improve the quality of their listing. They care very much about their guest experience so we don't doubt they will take these recommendations seriously.
The apartment is located on the 4th floor of a 25 floor building. The 24 hour concierge staff is always very helpful.
The apartment is compact -- best for just 2 people. The main bedroom is a good size and the bed comfortably firm. Located facing the courtyard of the building, there was reduced street noise but occasional noise (sometimes quite loud) from the other apartments. Part and parcel of city apartment living-- that's how it is. But there is no shared wall in that bedroom. The wifi can be spotty in the bedroom but the new router Oliver added midway in our stay did help.
The second bedroom with two twin beds is tight. We just used it to store suitcases, etc. There is ample closet room here and in the main bedroom.
Water pressure and hot water worked well in both bathrooms. There is room for toiletry storage.
The kitchen is tight for two cooks but manageable. We added some cooking implements we use often (host offered to reimburse) so with the already good supply of pots and pans we were able to cook daily. Appliances work well.
The living room is small but adequate for 2. There is also a narrow balcony off this room overlooking the shared courtyard (fun playground there).
Oddly, there is the occasional but continual "ding dong" sound coming from the elevator down the hall. We didn't notice it after a while and it's hard to hear from the bedroom.
Note there is no central heating (common in Chile) and as we visited in May (their fall) it could get very chilly in the apartment. The space heater provided helped somewhat.
Overall, we had a good experience for our one month stay. Thank you for your hospitality, Oliver!
