Cute up to date apartment located near the bunkers of Carmel. Building is located on a hill so be prepared to walk if you want to stay here. Upside is you’re one block away from escalators and elevators that take you up the hill so it’s not as bad. Also you’re less than a 15 minute hike away from some of the best views in the city.
Apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood. I never once felt in danger walking back home in the middle of the night. The place itself is small but has a homie feeling and for the price I honestly can’t complain. There’s a funky smell lingering about when you first walk in as it’s located in the basement but some Febreeze will clear that up. Got used to it quick. The hosts were quick to respond to our inquiries. Heads up if you’re used to gas stoves; the stove tops wont heat up unless you place a pan on it. My main gripe was the air conditioner which kinda seemed to do it’s own thing at some points also I couldn’t get the cable to work so I bought a chromecast to watch some netflix and youtube at night.
You’re not very far away from some nice local cafe’s and a bunch of bus stops. A 10 minute walk downhill takes you to Guinardo Hospital metro stop where you can take the L4 closer to the center. We learned to take the bus back at night when we were tired because the walk uphill was too much. Closest bus stop is two blocks away from apartment and from there we’d take the escalators around Finix restaurant. They proved to be lifesavers especially after a day of being out and about.
Overall I highly recommend this place, while it may not be close to the center it’s a nice little retreat from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area when you need to relax. Lovely stay overall.
