As with any reference request, I always start reviews with the overall assessment of whether I would stay here again. Absolutely Yes. Location in the Centro was ideal for my needs - easy walk to museums, restaurants, parks, plazas, etc. I also felt quite safe in the neighborhood but will put out the cautionary note that less-seasoned travelers or individuals for whom the perception of safety is tantamount, may want to think twice. As with any Centro location in major cities, there is a high degree of variability. Daytime was busy and vibrant, the night-time (perhaps, in part b/c of Covid restrictions) was quite desolate with most locales in the immediate neighborhood closed or closing early. There variability in establishments is also high - diagonal from the apartment area there is a exotic dance club, next to a Starbucks. Entry to the apartment area is through two gates locked at night and accessed with a security guard. Again, this is what you often find, in my experience, in cities - but it may not be for everyone. Also, the apartment is not exactly as described. Rather than a true 1 BR, it is more aptly described as a studio - a large open area with a large bed and a sofa-bed. This wasn't readily clear to us from the description and pictures. Aside from those two reality checks, as I said, the place was awesome for my needs and it is really quite stunning. The bathroom is incredible and the terrace is phenomenal. If you're looking for some old-world charm, ease of access to the wonderful history of Santiago, and a great outdoor social space then definitely short-list this rental.
