Kat's place is a great home base from which to explore Santiago. While it is slightly off from the main Alameda street, it is very close to buses and the santa Ana train. It is also away from where many of the protests happen if you don't want to be too close. There are a few food restaurants around and you can cook (though you will need to buy oil, spices, etc). The check in is through a key pad and the apt is super clean, stylish and cozy. AC unit in bedroom worked very well. Kat was speedy to communicate. Highly recommend!
