Great communication with Carlos, who was waiting for me at the door of the building (on time) as we had planned. Lovely to see a little Christmas tree in the communal inner courtyard as well as an illuminated "Belen" scene, creating a very cosy & festive ambience. 1st floor flat (with lift available) with windows facing the inner building walkway area so no exterior view but there are window blinds for privacy. There is, however, a little open area facing the sky where the laundry hangs to dry so at least you can see what the weather's like and from there the sun shines in the living room a bit in the late afternoon (December). I don't get cold easily but I found myself holed up in the toasty bedroom with the much-appreciated mobile radiator on high. There were little hotel packets of shower gel & shampoo but a proper bottle of dishwashing soap would have been appreciated (so as to not wash the plates & cups with shower gel!). The location is just a few blocks north of the Plaza Merced & the neighbourhood was as local as it gets, plus I came in contact with a lovely lady who lives in the building and who was very friendly. In my opinion, I think 3-4 adults would be very cramped and lacking privacy but perhaps it could work out well for a couple with a small kid or 2. As a previous reviewer stated, this little apartment is a great option for a single traveller and I will likely return to it...but next time in warmer weather!
