Yungay is a cool, funky, historic neighborhood not far from the center center, but with its own distinct personality. Getting anywhere in Santiago by metro, bus, or bike (which Osvaldo graciously let me borrow) is easy. Best of all, Osvaldo and Tamara are really warm, cordial hosts, and they have a fabulous sense of humor. The lodging is super private--you have your own bathroom and kitchenette and access to the front door. I enjoyed the high ceilings and the comfortable set-up. Santiago can be cold in winter at night, but Osvaldo and Tamara provide a heater, a water bottle, hot tea, and plenty of warm blankets :)
