Manuel was always great about getting back to me in a timely manner; I appreciate that very much! The main reason that I selected this apartment over other choices was because of the view. Unfortunately, due to the tragic wildfires in the area not only was there no view...the ash and dust covered everything in the apartment daily. Of course, this was beyond anyone's control.
The shower had great water pressure. I didn't cook while there, but the kitchen appeared to be well-equipped. The apartment is secure and most of the staff at the front desk were polite and helpful. We were able to walk to most everything with ease from this location.
It would have been nice to know some details prior to or upon arrival. Details such as...the pool is on the 4th floor. The laundry is -1 (basement) and requires tokens that you purchase in the vending machine to use the washer and dryer. The trash disposal is also in the basement at the opposite end of the hallway from the laundry room.
The noise level (at least in the summer with windows open) is high, especially on weekends. Also, very close to fire station and hospital so there are sirens throughout the night from ambulance and fire trucks.
There are some great restaurants on Vicuña Mackenna going toward Plaza Baquedano. We were able to walk all over the city from this location. Even though there are homeless people sleeping on sidewalk just down the block...it still feels like a very safe neighborhood.
We didn't meet Manuel, but he was helpful and quick to respond.
