Santiago De Chile New Downtown 2BR Condo: Balcony Views! Best Location

Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath condominium is on the 16th floor of a new high-rise building with a lovely lobby & 24-hour desk attendant. It is located in a super area of downtown Santiago, at the intersection of Catedral and Teatinos streets. You are less than 2 blocks from a metro stop and within walking distance of most of the downtown monuments, Plaza de Armas, La Moneda, the Cathedral and museums, as well as the famous pedestrian-only shopping street, La Ahumada. It's also close to the Universidad de Chile. The closest Metro stop is SANTA ANA and the next closest is PLAZA DE ARMAS. (You can actually see the plaza from our balcony.) Our apartment is between the two. (A map of the extensive Santiago Metro system is found on Wikipedia and the Santa Ana and Plaza de Armas stops are on the Green Line in the center of the map.) We are only 2 stops (no transfers) from the Bellas Artes Museum and its wonderful collection. On our Metro line (Linea 5) you can travel directly to the Plaza Florida Mall (one of the biggest in the city) and to the Bodega/Winery of Santa Carolina (4th largest in Chile and one of the most historic). Our apartment has a notebook full of maps, brochures, and ideas for making the most of your visit to Chile, including a road map of the entire country (these are for you to borrow while you are here). Our kitchen has some staples at all times, such as coffee, salt/pepper, tea, pasta and some other handy foods so you don't find an empty pantry before you find the stores. From our 16th floor balcony you have a view of the city and from the laundry room on the penthouse level, you can see the snow capped mountains. (Remember, the seasons are switched, so you can ski in our North American summer, which is South American winter.) Everything in the apartment is in good condition, including the dishes, kitchenware, linens, towels, and furniture. There is a large leather sofa in the living room and contemporary leather side chairs, and the dining area seats six. Each bedroom has its own bath. The master bedroom has a door to the balcony. We have a little home office area with a workspace for computer but WiFi connection in the apartment [optional] is ONLY available upon advance request and costs $100 in addition to the rent, for the temporary hookup fee. (WiFi is also available free in the building lobby and there are cheap internet cafes all over the city.) The traditional Chilean-style kitchen has a sit-down bar area and outdoor balcony (called a loggia) with a washtub, and storage space - its window opens to the exterior for fresh air. There are community laundry facilities on the penthouse level (tokens required, available from the front desk). Keywords: Condominium
