We had a great stay at Paola’s place, a true super host.
The apartment is very well appointed, has all creature comforts that exceed expectations and is greatly located with access to major highways and public transportation at your doorstep.
The building is very well maintained, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the apartment is very well partitioned so everyone who stays enjoys privacy.
As most places in Chile do not have air conditioning, Paola provides two very nice fans that are powerful enough to circulate air throughout the entire place, a very nice added benefit.
Espresso machine, toaster, range, oven, dishwasher, and a washer/drier combo machine (if you are not used to these, don’t be alarmed by the 4+ hour cycle times for washing and drying, 100% expected. Just set it and forget it)
Overall, a very nice extended stay, 9 days, with two pre-teens and two adults.
As an added tip, Paola provides excellent recommendations for local places to shop. The bottle of wine was a very nice added gesture that did not go unnoticed. Salud!
Almost forgot, because it seemed so natural, Paola had a nicely stocked fridge with milk, eggs, cheese, preserves, water and juice. We did not have to bother with our first night and morning, all was there ready for us to enjoy, a wonderful surprise, including the welcome cake that was promptly devoured by all, mostly the kids.
Highly recommended!!
