I loved my stay with Claudia & Alvaro. Both were very warm, welcoming and kind, and Alvaro (whom I met first) gave me some tips about shopping nearby when I first arrived. Their apartment is fantastic. It's on a high floor of a nice, secure building with a friendly concierge who always remembered me. There are lovely views of the mountains outside Santiago from their large dining area windows. It definitely is a cozy place, and I liked how my room was painted in a warm, cheerful shade of yellow. There was also plenty of natural light, and both an overhead chandelier and nightstand lamp for when it was dark. Two best things about my room: It had its own mini-refrigerator, and also a wonderful electric blanket! The Santa Isabella metro station is very nearby, and the sidewalks are wide and even so no worries transporting luggage. There are a lot of convenience stores and takeout/delivery restaurants nearby too, and a huge Tottus supermarket just a couple hundred meters away. I found it very convenient for everything I wanted to see & do, including going jogging in nearby parks or along the river.
