my husband and i stayed in this apartment for one month this winter (2011) and generally had a very positive experience... the apartment was as advertised and pictured, and was perfect for the two of us... the concierge ricardo is a gem (although he speaks no english he was very helpful) and the location of the building in nunoa is wonderful -- walk-to bakery, cafes, supermarket, metro (which easily takes you to anywhere in the city you want to go), and great little neighborhood restaurants... we saw almost no americans the whole time we were there... the apartment itself is equipped with the essentials (even the washing machine in the kitchen did a credible job!) and dthere were more than enough linens... the view of the andes from the balcony is jaw-dropping... the owner (who does speak english) could not have been more accommodating or easier to work with...the only drawbacks: the cleanliness of the apartment when we arrived, left something to be desired, and be prepared to live without air conditioning and insufficient lighting, since electricity in chile is very expensive... the wi-fi service, while very sporadic, worked most of the time, but there are several wi-fi spots within walking distance of the apartment... because nunoa is a neighborhood of santiago that is blessedly free of tourists, an ability to speak spanish is almost a requirement... we would go back in a heartbeat!

We stayed two weeks here and really felt the owners did a lot to make us feel at home. It has all the conveniences one might wish for. The location was great for getting around and we felt very safe walking to and from the Metro station.

Indeed a fantastic view, great appartment for a great price. A little bit small for 4 persons, but when the weather is good and you're out in town all day, that's really no problem at all. We enjoyed it very much and recommend it to other travelers. Safe neighbourhood.

Best decision made regarding Santiago vacation

Guest: Angela (Boston, MA)
Date of Stay: 08/07/10 Review Submitted: 09/17/10

We are from Boston and went to Santiago in August primarily to ski. My husband also wanted to meet with some customers he had been doing business with over the years. He was hesitant about staying in an apartment. The entire flight down I stressed about whether or not the apartment would meet our expectations. Upon entering the apartment, it became obvious that the owner had the apartment cleaned, but the cleaning crew did a mediocre job. I contacted the owner, Mr. Juan Diaz, and explained to him that the apartment was not as clean as I expected. He immediately called another cleaning crew and they arrived within a few hours. His father came and dropped my family off at a restaurant so that we could get something to eat. He later picked us up at the restaurant and took us to a grocery store for a few items like milk, bread and coffee. We were so impressed at how Mr. Diaz immediately responded to our problem. When we got back to the apartment, it was immaculately cleaned. My family and I were now very comfortable. My husband and I both agreed renting the apartment was the best decision we made for our trip. We loved everything about the apartment and its location. We especially appreciated how the owner responded to our initial disappointment. If you are visiting Santiago for vacation, it would be foolish not to take advantage of staying at this wonderful apartment.

Great Rental!!

The listing description was 100% accurate. This property was clean, spacious and filled with every ammenity we needed during our stay. The owner was very helpful in answering any of our questions prior to the stay. The hairdryer gave me great hair for the entire vacation!! The neighborhood was quiet, easy to walk around in and very safe. We explored the streets and found everything close by. The bakery was incredible. We had onces there everyday. It was about a block and 1/2 from the bus stop, from there you take a bus to the metro. The Metro was easy, clean and safe and convenient to the apartment. We very much enjoyed our stay in the condo. There was a notebook with directions and instructions for everything in the condo as well as nearby attractions. I sincerely hope you chose this rental for your next trip to Santiago.

We stayed here for a week, and honestly it was everything we expected and more. The apartment is very well set-up, with very comfortable beds and furnishings. It's great to have the supermarket, bakery and other shops so close. The building staff was very nice and very helpful. I recommend this apartment to anyone who's looking for a "home away from home" while traveling!

Apartment was quite nice and as advertised. We spent a lot of time on the patio enjoying the great views of the Andes. It is in a very nice neighborhood if you enjoy walking as we do. We would stay there again. Staff was great.

We stayed at the apartment for two weeks while visiting family and enjoying the national holidays. It was perfect. Two very comfortable bedrooms with beautiful views of the city and mountains. I went to sleep each night with the curtains open so I could fall asleep watching the twinkling lights as they tapered off into the mountains. The bed was more comfortable than my own. Washing machine was a big plus with three kids. They loved going down to the playground to play with the neighbors. Absolutely kid-friendly. The apartment is located in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Santiago. The grocery is just around the corner(remember to have your fruits and veggies weighed in the produce area before heading to the register), Fuente Suiza is just a leisurely stroll down the main road(best shrimp and cheese empanadas in town), and just a few blocks down Manuel Montt at Santa Isabel there is a bakery that sells the yummiest bread, bunuelos stuffed with blackberries, and corn and crab pies(pastel). Taxis can be caught right outside the door and are quite inexpensive. The owner of the apartment is pleasant and easy to deal with. We highly recommend this rental.

We really enjoyed staying in your apartment with such a fantastic view of the mountains. The convenience of the supermarket, buses, and metro was a big plus. We went everywhere on the Metro and appreciated the helpful guide left on the table. The guide explained what we needed to know about the apartment and how to walk to the nearest amenities. Another plus - the staff downstairs were super nice and friendly. We'll definately be back in the future. It's definately a plus if you are a Spanish speaker.

We want you to know that we appreciated very much our stay in your apartment. The location is really convenient for public transportation, shopping, etc. People at the reception desk were very helpful and friendly up to the last minute of our three-month stay. For sure, we'll miss them. The kitchen and bathrooms were super equipped which made us feel at home immediately. Mattresses are comfortable and we never felt backache in the morning. Already missing the Santiago sunshine and dry climate in summer. Looking forward to our next trip to Chile! Many thanks for everything,Cordially,Rudy and Célia

What a great apartment you have and the view of the Andes was the best. The neighborhood there was wonderful and so convenient to everything. The staff that works there was so helpful. We would recommend your place to anyone who would like to have a place that you feel so at home at.

We had a great time at this apartment. The facilities were great, building staff was very helpful and the amenities were fantastic - super soft towels and linens and even fancy little shampoos and soaps for the bathrooms. We would definitely rent again.
