Alvaro’s place is in a perfect location for getting a sense of the original Santiago. You can walk to many artistic and cultural sites, enjoy the parks nearby and wander several wonderful neighborhoods also nearby. Plus the apartment is just lovely. Filled with art and sunshine. Lovely afternoon breezes.
Even supermarkets are nearby. Alvaro was very responsive and helpful whenever we had a question. Check in was easy and clear directions made coming from the airport simple.
My Sister and I are artists so the location of Alvaro’s place near several fine museums and walking distance to both funky GAM and the grand Municipal Opera House, was perfect for us.
Plus being in Alvaro’s was an art treat in itself. We cannot say enough about how beautiful, intriguing and diverse the art in Alvaro’s place is or how beautifully furnished. Although street noise comes with a central city location, with windows closed it is fine and even with the windows open the street sounds were actually very soothing. The kitchen is fine, not super gourmet but has everything you need. This is an old building but again if you want to get a sense of Santiago’s original character it’s perfect.
