Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath condominium is on the 16th floor of a modern high-rise, is spacious and secure, with a wifi-enabled lobby & 24-hour manned front desk. In downtown Santiago, at the intersection of Catedral and Teatinos streets, 3 blocks from two different metro stops (Line 5, green line) and within walking distance of most downtown monuments, Plaza de Armas, La Moneda, the Municipal Cathedral and museums, as well as the pedestrian shopping street, La Ahumada. It's close to the Universidad de Chile. Nearby Metro stops are SANTA ANA and PLAZA DE ARMAS -- our apartment is between the two. (A map of the extensive Santiago Metro system is found on Wikipedia and in the guidebooks and maps in the apartment.) We are only 1-2 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 maps, brochures, and ideas for making the most of your visit to Chile, including a road map of the country (for you to borrow while you are here). Our kitchen has some staples, such as coffee, salt/pepper, tea, pasta and other non-perishable foods so you don't find an empty pantry before you find the stores. There are mini-markets on the corner and two grocery stores within 3 blocks. There is a nice spa with gym and pool at The Gran Palace Hotel, about 3 blocks away ($10 per visit, about $115 per month, including towels, locker, sauna).
From our 16th floor balcony you have a view of the city and Andes mountains. It’s perfect for breakfast and happy hour.
Everything in the apartment is in good condition, including dishes, kitchenware, linens, towels, and furniture. There is a full size sofa in the living room and two contemporary leather side chairs, and the dining area seats six. Each bedroom has its own bath and both have blackout curtains. The main bedroom has a sliding door to the balcony. A separate home office area has workspace for your computer, and a high-speed WiFi connection. (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 and outdoor balcony (loggia) with electric LG washer/dryer, washtub, and storage space - a window opens to the exterior for fresh air. There are community laundry facilities on the 25th floor penthouse level (tokens required, available in the laundry room).
