Best Location and Design - Central to Everything

We recently purchased and meticulously renovated this unbeatable central 1 bedroom apartment in safe and modern doorman building. The location is only half a block from the Santa Lucía metro station, and the charming Santa Lucía Park. We are on a semi-pedestrian street with small markets and cafés, and an easy walk to great restaurants & shopping, and Santiago's top tourist attractions. The space The unit has a nicely furnished living room, with floor-to-ceiling sliding-glass doors, that open to a balcony with city-views. The aesthetic is comfortable modern, with design accents from our travels in Chile. As both Airbnb hosts and travelers, we strive to make this the most comfortable space for our visitors. The bedroom has a comfortable queen-size bed, with a large picture window. Sitting on the bed, you have a view of the city and, in the distance the snow-covered 5000 meter Andes peaks. The en-suite bathroom has a shower/tub combo and a vanity with granite countertop. We provide fresh linens and towels, and the building has a great hot-water system. The fully-equipped kitchen features granite counters, ceramic electric glass stove, a spacious Daewoo refrigerator and freezer, and stainless steel stove and exhaust fan. In addition the kitchen area has a small dining table, microwave oven, and a Nespresso espresso machine. For the winter months of June to September, we provide an move-able electric room heater with thermostat control. While Santiago's winters are typically mild, winter night temperatures can sometimes reach 32 to 36 Fahrenheit (0-2 Celsius). The heater is able to keep a room comfortable at a set temperature. The apartment has high-speed cable internet with wifi. In the living room is a 43 inch 4K LG LED television. It features a digital tuner for crystal-clear images of Chilean HD broadcast TV, and also access to unlimited Netflix movies and several international smartTV channels. Additionally the unit has a 20 watt bluetooth speaker, able to connect to a smartphone, tablet, etc.. Guest access We offer a fully furnished one-bedroom apartment in a modern high-rise residential building. The apartment is exclusively for the primary guest and one additional guest under the same reservation. You will have the entire space to yourself, with no need to share it with anyone else. The bedroom features a large closet available for your full use. Check-in is self-service, facilitated by the building’s 24-hour doorman. The apartment is accessed via a personalized code for the smart lock, eliminating the need for keys. This unique code is programmed specifically for your stay. The building also offers shared amenities, as outlined below, which are available to our guests. BUILDING LOBBY ACCESS The building features a main lobby with a 24-hour doorman desk. Access to this lobby is provided by the doorman on duty, with typically two doormen on duty at all times, ensuring access is never an issue. POOL ACCESS The building features a small plunge pool in its 3rd-floor outdoor courtyard, available as a shared amenity for residents and guests staying at the apartment. It’s a great way to relax and refresh on a summer day, with the pool season typically running from December to March. While Santiago enjoys a pleasant Mediterranean climate, it does experience all four seasons, and the building management does not open the pool during the cooler months outside of this period. Mondays are maintenance days for the pool, so it is closed on that day. Otherwise, it is typically open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the season. However, the hours may change if the building management needs to perform maintenance. Please note that the building management operates the pool, and we are not responsible if it is closed for unscheduled maintenance, though they are usually diligent about keeping it open during the season. If the pool amenity is crucial for your stay, feel free to reach out before making your reservation, and we can confirm its availability for you. BUILDING SELF-SERVICE LAUNDRY The building has a self-service, coin-operated laundromat. This laundry room features several modern commercial washers and dryers, available for use by both residents and guests staying in our apartment. Please note that the machines require exact change in 500-peso or 100-peso coins, and you will need to bring your own laundry detergent. Alternatively, you can pay using an app, but please note that the app only works with credit or debit cards issued by Chilean banks. The laundromat is reasonably priced and offers great value. For the latest costs, feel free to reach out to us or check with the doorman during your stay. PARKING The apartment does not include an assigned parking space, and the building does not offer free parking. There is limited paid parking available in the building's underground garage, subject to availability. If you need parking, please reach out ahead of time, as it is sometimes possible to secure one for an additional cost of 8,000 pesos per night. Other things to note We offer a beautiful and comfortable space to enjoy the heart of Santiago Centro. Please feel most welcome to stay! Our listing is instant booking enabled (for guests with prior positive reviews on the Airbnb platform), and also available through booking requests (for first time Airbnb guests).

BAGGAGE STORAGE NOT AVAILABLE Please note, per the policy of the building’s management, the building's doorman is not permitted to store bags. Additionally, to comply with current cleaning protocols, it is not possible to leave your bags with the cleaners prior to check-in, or after checkout. PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER The apartment includes a portable air conditioner, providing a practical way to cool the space on warmer days. Unlike a fixed system such as a split unit, this portable unit is movable, allowing you to place it where it’s needed most. However, please note that it is less efficient than a permanent system and requires a simple setup: the warm air exhaust hose must be securely attached and directed through a slightly open window. We kindly ask you to handle the air conditioner and its exhaust hose with care so that it remains in excellent condition for all our guests. Detailed instructions for setup and use will be available in the house manual, accessible after booking. You’ll also find a QR code in our digital guidebook in the apartment for easy reference. To view a photo of the portable air conditioner, please check the Photo Tour section of this listing. Santiago’s Mediterranean climate generally offers pleasant summer temperatures with low humidity. However, on particularly hot days, the portable air conditioner can add extra comfort to your stay.
