Francisco’s apartment is in the heart of Las Condes, a vibrant and very busy center of commerce in the city. The apartment itself worked fantastically for me and my three buddies for our five night stay utilizing Santiago as a point of interest and a base camp for our wine country excursions. The secure parking was a very nice perk for our rental car. There are multiple shopping options a mere 15min walk, a simple grocery store with wine and necessities only a few minutes away at the intersection of Córdova and Apoquindo, several restaurant options, and there is a Turistik stop basically in front of the building on Córdova if you opt for the tour bus to explore the city (tickets can be purchased online and bracelets picked up at stop #1 which is only a 15min walk away).
Additionally, the check in process was very organized with step by step photos to help direct you where to go and how to access the apartment. There was a charged phone with local access for use (not something we needed), the grill works very well and I am an avid griller. We went to Tottus and took advantage of some fantastic and interesting cuts of beef that are less available in the US. If you are a home cook, the place is well equipped with decent knives, cutting boards, a high quality pot/pan set, and even a cupboard stocked with simple instant coffees, select spices and necessities. Also, the lobby attendants/concierge gentlemen were highly friendly with enthusiasm for our visit and always welcoming and hospitable.
Lastly, overall convenience is very good. Not even five minutes to access the highways, close to providencia and even close to a very cool local artist collective at Centro Artesenal los Dominicos which is only about a 3k walk (a must visit before departure).
I highly recommend Francisco’s apartment for your visit to Santiago!
