I won't re-hash what everyone else has said. It's all true. Gonzalo is a primo host with excellent suggestions for your visit. The Metro is only a block away but I never hopped on: I walked 100s of blocks of Santago, for which this apartment in Providencia is ideally, centrally located...if walking's your thing as well. It's a clean, modern unit, quiet, great view, totally secure, in a trending neighborhood.

Btw if you're debating Santiago, hmm, or maybe sonewhere else...stop. Go there! If you don't speak Spanish (I don't) it's a minor issue, but the people are so gracious you'll be fine. This is a spectacular, world-class, city, so much to see, experience and do. NYT's No. 1 destiation in 2011, and deservedly so. Countless times I lost track and forget that I wasn't in Barcelona, my favorite city on this old planet.

Oh yeah, one tiny thing, and I'm being captious. I eat in a lot and could've used a colander to drain pasta. In fact, kept meaning to buy one for the flat but it kept slipping my mind. Next trip, Gonzalo!
