Lovely spacious apartment in a safe residential area with tree lined avenues. Odette provides lots of extras, e.g dishwasher tablets, washing machine pods, oil for cooking, tea, coffee, etc. The apartment with the small garden and small pool are really lovely on the heat of the Santiago day and well shaded. Beds comfortable, ample hot water for showers, hob and separate, compact oven/grill, microwave, etc. There is air conditioning in the property.
Very good Italian restaurant just across the street, two supermarkets and a wine and spirits store with good prices.
There is a huge shopping centre and supermarket (Constanera) about 15 minutes walk away and the Metro is about 10 minutes. Fast and efficient but do be aware that pickpockets do operate on it.
Some of the nearby commercial skyscrapers are impressive.
City walking tours good but don’t bother with the hop on hop off bus. However, do go to the cable car which is only 5 - 10 minutes walk away.
