  Valerie's unit is accurately represented and she was a wonderful host. Rather than repeat, I will concur with the other positive review comments. It's a convenient and hip location in a new building, which feels safe. We walked to the subway every day & were able to move all over Santiago with ease. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

  My girlfriend and I stayed in this excellent apartment for 9 nights in December, the apartment was clean and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The internet was super fast. The view is amazing, we enjoyed a glass of wine on the terrace most nights and admired the views. The neighborhood has great restaurants and bars within a few blocks of the apartment. We highly recommend this apartment and would stay here again.

  We stayed at Valerie's property for 8 days. It was clean, in a great neighborhood, and a perfect pivot point to travel around the city and outlaying areas. The views each morning are outstanding, and the patio doors in each room allow the fresh air to flow into the apartment. The pool was clean and never too busy. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, and small grocery stores within walking distance.The best part of all, was Valerie answered all our questions and provided us with lots of information about Santiago and the surrounding area. The underground system is close, convenient, and inexpensive. This a great place for couples or even up to 3 friends.

  We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. The view was great on the 17th floor just as the description said. The apartment was supplied with everything we needed for our stay. We even learned to use the French Press coffee pot by looking it up on the internet. Internet access was great. We learned the metro lines quickly and traveled all over on it although the nearest metro station was some blocks away. The building is secure 24 hours a day and the concierge was very helpful. Valerie walked us around the neighborhood and helped us get started changing money and showed us where things we needed could be found. She emailed us things to see and even emailed us when a site was closed. We used the laundry room and enjoyed going home with clean clothes. It would be a good place to stay longer term. The TV had international news in English so we could keep up with world news.

  I stayed in Valerie's apartment for 5 months while I was participating in Startup Chile. Valerie was very considerate and helpful throughout my stay. She was always fast in replying to emails. I stayed during the winters months and I was very happy that the heater worked so well because many of the apartments of my colleagues had almost no heat which made the cold winter nights and early mornings a lot more difficult. The bed was comfortable, the view of the Andes is exceptional and the apartment is modern. Despite being in Bellavista, it was relatively quiet and easy to sleep at night. Overall, I had a great experience and I would recommend this apartment to anyone traveling or working in Santiago.

  We were very happy to find this apartment! The location in Bellavista was perfect -- we were traveling with a toddler, so even though we rarely saw the Bellavista nightlife, we loved being close to San Cristobal (and the zoo) and close enough to walk to the huge central market. The changing view of the mountains was something to look forward to every morning, and the Recoleta neighborhood is a great place to walk around and see a quirkier, more diverse side of Santiago. Valerie was always extremely helpful, allowing us to leave our suitcase with her while we traveled down south, offering suggestions for places to visit, and quickly resolving the problem when our telephone suddenly stopped working. We would agree with the review that suggests that a toaster and extra sheets would be useful, along with a coffee maker (we hate Nescafe!), but other than those small things this apartment lacks nothing. (Plus, I'm sure Valerie would have been happy to provide anything we asked for.) I can't imagine a better stay for the money, or a better way to get to know Santiago than from this home base!

  We rented this apartment in the Bellavista area of Santiago in late April 2012. The price of the rental is really good. The apartment and the building are both great. (Both were very clean and well maintained and we made full use of the laundry room.) The location cannot be beat and we really enjoyed the selection of restaurants and shops in the area. The apartment is about a 20 minute walk to the centre of Santiago and only a minute or two from the subway. The owner and her son were both very helpful. We had a few comments regarding the rental unit. We would have liked to have a toaster for breakfast. Also, it would really have been nice to have an extra set of towels and a few more pillows. Finally, we found the bed sheets to be very thin. We also had to search for a regular grocery store in the area. Overall we enjoyed our stay and making these small changes would definitely make this an excellent rental in Santiago.

  The apt. was great, just what was needed. Location was perfect, right in the thick of things. Shops, restaurants and funky area to explore. Santiago is very compact so this was a good location as a base to explore the city. One thing to keep in mind as it is in the bar/restaurant area - it can get noisy in the evening or early morning so bring ear plugs or be a heavy sleeper but it was fun to listen to the singing as the night progressed. I would not hesitate to recommend this place and hope to come back to Santiago soon.

  A very nicely furnished and decorated, clean, cozy apartment with walk-in closet and plenty of storage space + a great view of Cerro San Cristobal and northern Santiago. The kitchen was fully equipped. Secure, safe property with 24/7 security at the entrance -- like many buildings in Santiago. WI-FI reception was great. Laundry facilities were very good (on the main floor) and very reasonably priced. The building has a nice swimming pool. The Baquedano metro station is only a few minutes walk away. The closest super-market type store is about 3-4 blocks away ("Ekonos" -- on Avenida Bella Vista). The huge La Vega farmer's market is about 15 minutes walk. The Santiago zoo is 5 minutes away -- it's actually quite impressive, even if you're someone who is normally not interested in zoos. The local area is full of nightlife, so there's lots to do. I have no hesitation recommending this place. The owner -- who is originally from Europe -- was fantastic. One of the best things about our experience in Chile has been meeting her.

  We had a very enjoyable stay here.. Ideally located in a new secure complex with all facilities you need to have an enjoyable stay and close to all the local attractions that Santiago has to offer. The apartment is tastefully decorated and furnished and was quiet and secure.
